Look, man, you got a problem with me, that's fine, I get that. But I'm trying to do right by this kid and I have to talk to you, guardian to parent, whether you like it or not. You got some real feedback on how Cassie's doing or how I'm doing with her, you let me know, but leave your own biased assumptions at the door.
Unless you wanna have a whole other conversation about what you think about me, we can do that, but leave her out of it.
