47. as a home health aid she may not have a lot of choice about working graveyard

That may be the only work she can get. It is hard, hard work. How dare she "catch up on her sleep" after working what is a brutally difficult shift to work.

From what I read in your first post, you come across as meddling and judgemental. And I certainly would be suspicious of a landlord wanting to "hang out with" my 5 year old.

I do much of my cooking with a microwave, too. You can cook most anything in a microwave, it is far cheaper than gas and I consider it less dangerous in many ways than open flames. I guess that makes me somehow "inferior" in your opinion.

Frankly it's kind of creepy the amount you know about her schedule, her roommate's schedule, that you've contacted her roommate and gotten the roommate to assist you in calling the cops down on this single mom (e.g. stab her in the back), etc.

Are the children fed? Clothed? Going to school when they're supposed to be? Do you hear her verbally abusing them? Hitting them? Do they have bruises?

If not, myob.

When I was 5 years old I was very happy to curl up with coloring books and play quietly with my toys. Maybe her 5 year old is happy that way too, just to have mom napping nearby.
