Observation Today....Hold Me

[Hunni Bee]

I had my observation today for our quality rating scale thing. It was unannounced- we knew they were coming but not the day or week. So I was mostly prepared, but I really didn't think they'd be so cruel as to pop up on a Monday .

What I wasn't prepared for is how my kids acted. They hit. They called names. They ignored directions, ran in the building, talked back and refused to share. I couldn't believe it. To top things off, the woman stayed almost 5 hours!

Its hard enough being observed, then to have them show off, it was so hard to be patient. Plus they know that that type of behavior would warrant a visit from "mean mommy" any other time, so they were really pushed it.

Just needed to vent. So glad it's over. I hope we scored well.

I am so NOT looking forward to those things! Sorry the kids misbehaved so badly. Glad the rest seemed to go well!

By observation do you mean the yearly checkthe licensors do? Mine came a few months ago. She asked a couple questions and was on her way. Sorry yours took so long! Hopefully you get a relaxing evening.

Mine are that way anytime the food lady comes or really anyone. They are even getting the point of doing that when parents come for pickup! I'm at a loss of what to do.

Sorry the kids were acting up. I hate it when that happens. Sometimes i see that as a sign that we need to go off the groove more often, to enforce that the behavior expectations are the same whether things are normal or not.

Fingers crossed you did well!
