DM and Stepdad had DD on Sat night for us (she's 5 months old) Mum mentioned that she was a bit grizzly Sat night and a bit quiet Sun, just not herself at all and when she came back it was obvious to me and DH that she wasn't well at all, could hardly stay awake and very hot etc.
I felt really worried and took her to docs that afternoon, turns out she has a viral infection, nothing that can be done apart from Nurofen etc. She's a bit better now but still quiet and not her old smiley self (which make me feel really sad)
This is where I may be going a bit mad being unreasonable. Stepdad has a daughter, mid 20's, history of compulsive lying and odd behaviour. Two examples of this: she told DM and stepdad that she saw a child knocked over and killed outside the nursery where she worked (not true) and told her Dad that she'd given him a present and card on Xmas day when she definitely hadn't (as we were all there and of course he would remember and find an actual present!) Lots of other stuff too.
Anyway, she turned up at DMs Sat eve and changed DD's nappy as DM was running around getting bottles ready etc, not sure if DM or Stepdad in room but presumably there for some of it (as done in lounge) She's shown NO interest in DD before at all.
I've found myself thinking all sorts, not neccessarily abuse :( so what, I don't know, maybe that she upset or hurt DD in some way. Writing it down makes me feel like a pfb freak but I can't shake it off.
She left her nursery job very quickly not long ago, citing redundancy, I'm even thinking of calling and checking up (know they won't tell me anything). If it was anything major, guess would have been in local press, but no one believes a word she says, not even her Dad or DB.
And it's not that I don't like her or am jealous or anything, mums only been with Stepdad a few years, so we didn't grow up together/have sibling rivalry.
I know I sound mad - but aren't people who display this sort of behaviour a bit, well unpredictable at best and at worst very troubled?
Sorry this is long, was in the shower this morning thinking of ways to suss her out, I feel sick. I should have NC, please don't flame, there's a lot to be said for gut instinct isn't there?
