Hi everyone! I'm new to the forum
I've been caring for this family since November, and they've been giving me grief lately. DCM is really playing up the " poor single mom in school" card, and wants me to try to make special deals for her. IE- not paying if dcg isn't here, cutting her slack on late payments. I don't cut my current families any slack and with all of that, it's hard to even feel like I ought to cut her any slack.
DCG is here MWF 8-12 and TTH 10-1. She is 20 mos. She started hitting my dd and ds about a month ago. I wrote mom a note and told her what was going on. 3 Strikes / out. On Friday, she pushed a little boy, tried to bite him, and as I told her "no," she slapped me. She's continually gotten more aggressive. I sent home a probation notice that night saying that dcg has 2 weeks to shape up or she's gone.
But the thing is, is that all the evidence doesn't point to her being a "poor single mom in school." Kid wears new Gymboree and Children's Place clothing. Mom has Victoria's Secret make up and Mary Kay in the diaper bag. Claims she doesn't have a job, and according to her background check, she lives at the same house as DCG dad. And she told me that he was no longer around. Drives a new Camry.
And then at pick up today, she says that she thought about it some more, and she wants me to watch DCG more.
I'm SO tempted to term at the end of the probation period. All the crazy issues with the policies and then the aggressive DCG. WWYD?
