Ugh. I just read the "I've decided to follow the lead" post and I feel her pain! One friend of mine has a 7 1/2 mo old who isn't hitting her developmental marks b/c she doesn't get enough real attention. When I babysit I make sure to read to and interact with her. I actually talk TO her not AT her. "That's a nose, I have a nose and you have a nose. That's your nose! You found it, you found your nose!" The mom is a twit who treats her baby an accessory. When the mom goes out to drink, smoke (not just cigarettes) and basically party, she either pawns the kid off on someone or takes the baby with her but leaves her on someone's bed with pillows "keeping her in." Then she stops drinking a little while before she leaves but IMO you shouldn't have ANY alcohol or other substance in your system if you're going to be driving your child around with you. The kicker? She lives at home with her mom, has a crappy job at a retail store (long term plan? no.) and no drive to better her child's life. Honestly at this point, I'm about to STEAL a baby! And her daughter looks much more like me than her...
(note: just kidding I would never ever do that no matter how douchetacular the mother)

Unexplained Infertility
After two Clomid cycles, three injectable IUI cycles, two IVFs, two miscarriages, and one lap surgery, IVF #2 has brought us our little boy!
TTC #2
After months of being postponed or cancelled, FET #1.3 (Natural FET) brought us twin girls!
This was the exact situation with Casey Anthony....well, except Casey was fired from her job, lied and said she was still employed for two years, and dropped her DD off at the fake nanny when she went to 'work".
