I have shut the door and I have shut it myself whenever possible. Then dcd literally stands smack in the doorway, I tell him (again) that the heat is on, and he blatently just keeps standing there, taking his sweet time to say his goodbye's etc. It's literally like I would have to guide him out of the way physically, or slam the door on him as he is standing there, which is what I am having the issue with. That, and I am one of those people who are always concerned what others think, something I am trying to get over.
I am pretty sure I am done with this family anyway. Next week is their last week here for winter break and I dont think I will renew their contract. This is the same family who punishes their kids for potty accidents by putting them in cold showers." They hit and kick and scratch and bite and whine and yell and scream, probably bc thats what is going on at home. The parents have no control over their kids, and I have to spend most of my energy correcting them all day and teaching them, just to do it again the next day. It is tedious and miserable and exhausting. The kids have become increasingly violent to themselves and other kids within the past month, and their behavior is disrupting everyone else. The door disrespect is just the nail in the coffin. I feel bad bc this was one of my first families and I have watched these children grow and invested a lot of time and effort into them, but I think i have had my fill.
