Went To The Party. Total Cold Shoulder!

[EchoMom]

Oh, and there were only 4 babies/toddlers there INCLUDING my DS. It's not like he wasn't noticable! He even carried his own gift up to the birthday girl to give it to her and the mom didn't say a thing. Awful awful awful behavior. I'm so grateful my DS is young enough to be oblivous to that.

He had so much fun jumping in the bounce house by himself. He was out of his mind excited about it. An awesome first for him.

So excited I've got new kids lined up to join us at daycare already, just have to wait a few weeks for them to start.

And, another interview tomorrow night as well. I am SOOOO burned out with interviews, but gotta fill those spots!

So tomorrow I come face to face with the 2 termed families. Hoping it's drama free because I'm just not going to engage in anything like that! Just straight up business for them.

The family was rude, no doubt about that. It sounded like this was a party in their home.. it was in a party place? I don't personally expect the same level of "hostess" in those places. Food can be picked up by anyone without a special mention. It's there, you go eat. Should they have acknowledged you? ABSOLUTELY.

Your "last straw" had nothing to do with daycare, and you terminated via email without giving a reason. Those two things bother me. You could have addressed the issues with the party with a comment about how busy it was, it must have been tough to keep in contact with all of the guests and see what she said. Or be even more up front and tell her you were taken aback by her behavior. Terminations should be handed to the parent, and should include a reason, even when that reason is the fact that the working relationship has declined to the point that you no longer wish to continue it.

It is what it is. Hopefully it also points out why work and socializing shouldn't cross paths.
