I just had a thought.
I know GMSykes raised Ron and most of us suspect that she raised his kids too. GMSykes even claims to be the one that had always done their laundry. It seems that GMSykes was basically taking care of Haleigh and Jr. Well if GMSykes is doing all this for Ron's kids and pretty much playing mother to them.....Whether TN offered to pay Misty or Misty offered to pay TN, either way it makes no sense to me. Why wouldn't GMSykes be the one being asked to babysit or asking Misty to babysit, KWIM? Apparently, TN was not living near Green Ln the night Haleigh went missing so why would she be in the middle of all this babysitting stuff? If she lived as far away as we think she did, why would HER babysitting the kids even be an option? There are many other Cummings family members living closer.
IMO, if there was talk about TN, MC and babysitting, I would think that TN offered to pay Misty. Why would Misty ask TN to babysit and offer to pay her? First of all, TN lived too far away and I just don't see Misty offering to pay someone to watch Ron's kids expecially his own mother of all people. IMO, TN asked and offered to pay Misty. The only way I can see TN offering to pay Misty to babysit is if TN was the one who actually had the kids at some point Monday. But then that leads me to the question...Why wouldn't TN ask her mother GMSykes, if she had something so important to do that she couldn't watch them? Makes me think that something was wrong when TN made that call to Misty.
We hear that Misty said she would babysit if it was OK with Ron...so that tells me that Ron had no intentions on Misty watching his kids that evening.
We hear now that GMSykes was not too thrilled with Misty being back at the mh that night. But TN is the one who lured Misty there regardless of how Ron and GMSykes felt about the situation. I'm thinking that TN may play a bigger role in all of this than we know.
All JMO though
