She's lovely, 40, single with a 2.5 year old. Her DS father, an on-off boyfriend, promised commitment (apparently) but skedaddled after the birth and now sees DS once a week with his other child, a daughter aged 9.
My DF went back to work when DS was 3 months, and since then has left him with her mum and stepdad who live on the same estate from 6am to 8pm every weekday. At weekends he sees DF, so she only takes her boy on Sundays.
She's just rung to tell me that her DS is now living with her parents over the summer as her new job makes it 'hard' for her to pick him up at night - the hours are a bit irregular.
Should I say something? Her mates are worried she won't ever 'find the right time' to take him back. We're also wondering what support she should get, if any, to manage living with her son.
