As you may know I have been progressivly growing a backbone here and the more I lay down the law the better I feel. Problem is I am noticing 1 DCM pushing back as often as she can. Maybe it's just me but it seems the more I crack down more problems I have but she will take it to a whole new area. Anyone else ever experience this?
Like yesterday DCM knows I do not want the kids out on the sidewalk alone. DCB almost got hit by a truck just a few months ago because she doesn't watch him when she leaves or arrives. Well she leaves and stands on my stairs. I ask if she needed something she said no just making a call. I said ok bye. She stands there on her phone. 2 yr old DCB goes down to the CURB! I am yelling for him to come back she stands there on the steps not even looking at him. I tell her to get him. She says he's fine. I keep calling for him to come back up on the porch. NO WAY will DCM make it to save him if he runs out ion the street! For about 3 minutes (long time actually) this goes on. DCB just stands by the car on the curb. DCM talking standing on my steps... I have 2 kids inside repeatedly bickering so I can't go out to the curb myself incase tehy get into it. DCM starts down the steps and I close the door.
Not even a minute after I shut the door she knocks and says DCD wants me to keep the kids longer tomorrow. I said how long? She doesnt know I just need to keep them so he can do some things. OK well will you be working? She hesistates and said not really. :confused: I remind her the subsidy program only pays for daycare while they are working. I look for DCB he is still at the curb!!
I tell her she needs to get him before he goes into the street. She gets defensive and says "whatever he wanted me to ask if you would just keep the kids for a while but if it's a huge problem then fine". I said falt out NO sorry! Why should I watch the kids longer when neither one of them will be working? She then FINALLY goes and gets her child from the curb!!!
20 minutes later she calls leaves a voice mail saying "I need you to make copies of all of the reciepts you have given us last year because I lost them -giggle-"
I call her back DCD picks up says same thing. I said sorry to hear that but I can't make copies just like that. I'm not ripping them out and I dont have time to stand and make copies of each little slip from a years time. DCD says "come on you know her you know what I'm dealing with she loses everything we need these to get taxes back" I said yes I do know her but so do you so why don't you get them from her. He says she doesn't give them to me. 
OK well just use the form I printed out for you. Of course he doesnt know what form she never gave that to him either! I told him it is an actual form from the IRS stating all of my info and my EIN number all filled out ready to go and I even wrote in the total they paid. I told her all she had to do was take that paper in. DCD says "Oh well she says it's lost too so can't ya just print out another one, no big deal" I went off! I said "Ya know Frank it is a big deal, you know how Deb is, you always tell me how she forgets everything, you need to figure something out at home to put a stop to this you are both adults!" He gets mad and says she loses stuff before he gets home. BS!! So I tell him "Then you need to have a spot saved on the refridgerator just for her to place all of the notes and things I send home. Then she can hang them there for you to see just like a child would hang their art work! I do not have a copy of that form, I do not have time to make copies of your reciepts either so I suggest you both look for what I have already given you TWICE now!" He didn't like that and said he would have her look for it and let me know if they can't find it.
Now technically I can write out on a piece of paper the details they need but after their entitled attitudes acting like me and the rest of the world owe them why should I? What would you do?
What would you do to put a stop to all this stupid button pushing? Besides term. Not in the position to do that right now but it's going there as soon as I get 2 other kids in!
