Why oh why is it every time I'm on my last dime the parent who ALWAYS pays on time, in cash, shows up and tells me they can't pay me until tomorrow?? Ugh!! It's like the universe is saying "did you really think that was gonna go your way mwhahaaa!!"

When you choose to take your kids elsewhere for the summer, there was never a guarantee that I would take them back when school started. Sorry. I was polite about it, you could be too! Ever heard of karma?Comment

Yes, Play Care! Ughhh! She texted me that she wanted to send her kids back starting next week. I responded, that sorry I couldnt. My excuse was that I didn't have room. She has been posting all kinds of crap about "bitter" people on Facebook, and how she needs to find a nanny!Comment

bossy SA kids
6 year old jerks. A 6 year old was being a complete bossy child. She was just barking orders at the kids to get things and do things for her. No matter what I said she thought the kids were her minions all day long. I wanted her to go and then she said, I hope you are getting me something for my birthday in (3/4 months). ReallyComment

We went on a small vacation to see my sister and her family. Her 4 yo runs the house and has screaming fits... not cool. BUT now my 2 1/2 yr old is doing to same thing ever since we got home. Hes had a really nasty attitude lately anyway, and i have tried everything to get him to stop!! Putting him in his room ( no toys in there) time out, i slap his mouth, i take his toys away, i put soap in his mouth ( he understands why) I just cannot get him to be nice to me or anyone in our home. Ive even tried to add more reading time, learning time, crafts, all that and he will not do it!! Im losing my mind and he know it and likes it:confused::confused::confused:

2 1/2 is a tough age, but I can't say he's going to be nicer if he expects to be slapped or have soap put in his mouth.We went on a small vacation to see my sister and her family.

Set a hard limit about rules, consequences and enforce them. GENTLY.
"The rule is no throwing the toys. If you throw the toys, you will have to sit in time out."
*throws toy*
(GENTLY lead him to a chair) "You may get up when the timer goes off."
give him LOTS of reminders and praise good choices. Show him respect, treat him kindly and with empathy and he will respond.Comment

I have a love/hate relationship with long weekends
Love the time off to spend with my own children.
Don't love the off-scheduled kids that come back. One spent the weekend with nanny so was completely spoiled and was a hot mess this morning. The other could barely stay awake after a camping trip.
Early lunch. No one ate. Early nap and they were both out within 1 minute.
Tired. Whiny. (those are me
)
2 more hours.Comment

So my boss tells me, in private, that they are frantically looking for his replacement, dipping as low as to anyone in the building who has a degree. Apparently the CEO mentions me enthusiastically, and i'm like wow, me? I didn't think she even knew who I was.
BUT....
Then my boss laughs, tells me he told her "Oh no no no!" and that was that.
I laughed it off and played the "oh well" card but inside I'm insulted. I'm mad. He literally "c*ck blocked" me from the position.
No, I don't have a degree in education but I have been here for almost a year with on-job experience. No, I don't have experience as a director, but I learn quick. I went from SAHM to Coordinator in less than a day of volunteering there. I have the potential and drive. Apparently my boss doesn't see that even though he brags about me all the time.
I want to write the CEO an email, letting her know that I am truly flattered to considered and ask if she would be willing to take me on as an Assistant Childcare Director. That way I can learn those ropes and go from there. I'm not one to go over people's heads but I feel as if I deserve a freakin chance.

Ms Lisa - oh my gosh. Awful to hear boss tell you he couldn't support you for the position. He's upset certainly. Who wouldn't be. Shame on him. As they say relax, calm, Now... go for it. The best situations is when you know all the details. And boss gave you all the cards. Love it. Silly of him. Take the info, use it to your advantage, the position is right in front of you.
