:DCK just got picked up...
I talked to DCD about the issue.... He didn't say anything at first and asked how was DCB day. I said it was really good. He went on to tell me so I heard you called the wife on her BS. I looked at him and said, is that what you call it????
He said that she does that to him too. She will buy a purse for $4-500 bucks and then tell him she got it for $100.00, when he finds the receipt or the credit card statement, she just won't answer him.
He laughed and said you can't live with her and you can't live without her. He said I just never take her serious anymore and I understand if you don't either. He said he was sorry for any troubles and then gave me a big fat hug and said happy holidays.... an awkward one.....
:!!! updated as i was I posting!
Glad to hear it went well! Wow a hug!!!Comment

super awkward......
DCD ran back in and gave me a card......
I just opened it and it was from the whole family wishing me a happy holiday, I am also getting married in my home country on friday, so the card was for that too. They gave me a $10.00 gift card to startbucks. Too bad it was not for the bar.......I could have gotten a nice glass of wine to drink away the troubles caused by DCM........ JK

Crazy people are always going to be crazy people. You can't change that, but you can make YOUR business a more tolerable environment for you to work in. So, good job.
I was giggling at her response. I imagined some of my previous daycare parents when I read it ... they either termed themselves or I termed them.
Much happier place over here with them elsewhere.

thank you very much.... I have actually been married for almost 7 years here in the USA, but I never got married in a Mosque. My parents don't accept my marriage because of this and my mother is not well right now. Her dying wish is to see me marry in my home.
We are breaking SOoooooooo many rules of the Mosque, but it is ran by family members so I think it will be ok.
I am not looking to forward to the flight, but it will be nice to be home.... It seems like I only go back when someone dies......Comment

OMG soooo true....... I do feel a lot better, even though I am sure I did not resolve anything with her lying.....Crazy people are always going to be crazy people. You can't change that, but you can make YOUR business a more tolerable environment for you to work in. So, good job.

I don't like lying either! I don't have much tolerance for it at all.
I would never wait to call a parent out on an issue. Time can make it seem less important. I do wait if I have to think something over and digest it. You caught her lying, call her out on it then and there. Sometimes you have to talk to parents like they are children in order for then to really get and understand what your saying. Break it right down.
Marge(whatever her name is) I don't like it when people are dishonest with me. Please don't play games like this with me. You don't need to do this.
Sickness- call her up and have her come and get the child in a timely manner.I would not let a child sleep for seven hours in my care, unless it was my own. Sick kids need to be home with parents and not exposing you, me and all the other kids and my place to illness. They need parental attention if they can't participate along with everyone else.
Hold onto your days off and cherish them. You work hard. Give yourself a break. Give your kids a break. Your choice, but I personally like having time to myself and my family and not having the responsibility of other children to care for. Those days are far and few between. The rest of the days we are full on.
Sorry, I did at first read into this that you were having a hard time talking to the parent.
I would not want to deal with anymore lies. I would not do special anymore for this client.
I find the excuse of the father just blowing his wife's ways off, as something I wouldn't want to be involved in. I would give it a last chance, and if changes did not happen quick I would term and find another family that would respect you more and not play these silly games with you. You will have to update us all as this plays out more

Ohhhhh could I tell you some crazy CRZY stories......
one that comes to mind...
When I first moved to north cali, I interviewed a family that had two twin girls. They were a little younger than I normally took, but I was trying to fill spots so I was trying to be open minded...
Well long story short The parents decided that they wanted to enroll but they were going to wait a month before doing so.
During the month, they asked if they could drop off here and there just to get the girls used to me....ok whatever, I agreed.
Out of know where DCD starts texting me asking DC related questions, mom did too, which quickly lead to dad asking NON daycare questions, like where do you work out, who trains you, blah blah blah. He was asking because he said he wanted to get a trainer for his wife.
Well one day he calls up and says can I drop off the girls for a few hours. Ok sure no problem. I take a few pictures of the girls playing and send it to him and mom via text message..
Next thing you know the mom calls and is screaming at me why are my kids at your house, why are you texting my husband...OMG WHAT!!! She is screaming so loud in the phone that I can't even understand what she is saying.
Moments later, she is at my front door to get her girls. She goes off on me wanting to know why I was texting her husband and why did I have her girls....etc etc etc...
I was scared to death....I had no clue what was going on. I guess DCD did not even tell DCm he was bringing the girls over here. She was a complete NUT job....
She went on to tell me all about how she just caught him having an affair with their Nanny and this is why they were really need in daycare..OMG what did you say come again????
I was so scared of this woman that I could not sleep at night. i was up all night thinking that this lady was going to come and smash my car with a bat or attack me in my sleep.....
OMG I have met some nutsooo people....lmboComment
