Not Sure What To Do...

[Ariana]

hmm sounds like this child needs to either be your shadow or hovered over. What i mean is, that she is to follow you all day, you can't let her get in trouble, the minute she does, she goes on the naughty mat (I find that the mat works great) I think its time for you to be really firm and not give her an ounce of breathing room.
Now I suspect that she is also not listening at home either, and locking kids in a room is wrong. I think explaining to them that you use the naughty mat might work better for them.

Today I had to bring her upstairs with me to make lunch. I made her sit in a chair and read books away from the other kids. I might start doing this when I feel it's going to escalate into a crying fit. The issue with the "naughty mat" is that I don't think it will work and she is still crying and upsetting everyone else here because they can see and hear her.

Today the dad drops her off and doesn't mention a thing about yesterday. Meanwhile this is the same guy that called me every night when another DCG had lice needing "an update on the situation"! Seriously!! Anyway he told me that mom was going to give me a call to discuss September....which means she wants me to take her son when she goes off mat leave. UGH. I'm stressed and sick because I'm pg and I don;t even want to deal with this right now.

yeah, but are they as bad as this little girls?

LOL! yes! One little boy had zero language and would cry "momma" over and over the whole time I was making lunch. I would try to occupy him with a dvd player and he wouldn't sit still. Major issues that went on for 6 weeks, so I had to term. Another interview I had the mom told me to make sure I kept my gate closed in my yard because her son might throw himself into the creek behind my house!! Meanwhile we go for walks everyday by the creek to see the geese etc ISSUES I tell ya!!!

Based on what you said here I'd wonder if she didn't have some sort of attachment disorder....which would be sad. But also infinitely difficult to deal with.

I don't blame you at all for wanting to be done with her drama.
