And I am officially done.
I griped last week about the part time baby I have and them changing the scheduled days and adding on time. It angered me even more when the grandmom called me and left a message TELLING me the baby was coming last week. Now we no longer ask. We TELL.
Gmom is a friend of ours and I guess she thinks it is ok to be the one calling me. The issue is that she tells me one thing and mom tells me another and the child is either showing late or early and messing up my schedule or messing up the childs routine. It has been building but the TELLING me part just pushed me over the edge. I was generous (aka stupid) and didn't complain last week because the Gmom was called into work (she is a nurse) on an emergancy and didn't have someone to watch the baby who she normally had that day. Not an excuse but at least she wasn't getting her nails done or going out to lunch like most of the other days have been!
Well....today was the topper. Gmom or mom doesn't call me. Neither email me. The Gmom TEXTS MY HUSBAND! Again TELLS him the baby is coming tomorrow!
They are required to give me their schedule a month in advance as the child is part time. This last month they have not kept one single weeks schedule. Not one. And has caused me to miss some field trips because of the lack of communication where I waited for them and they got the times wrong, etc. It isn't fair to me and isn't fair to my kids. And to make matters more fun, the DCGs brother will be coming for the summer so I will be hit with TWO like this!
I am missing a child or two this week due to some on vacation and was planning a field trip to the park.......not now. (I don't take this child out. She is the screamer). I hate to be mean and I am sure the Gmom will take it personally because she is a friend but enough is enough.
So here it is 9:30 at night and I have this child showing in less than 12 hours and I just found out. Schedule changes are to made by Sunday and no less than 24 hours. Correct me if I am wrong but isn't this MONDAY?
I. Am. Done!
Mom is getting notice tomorrow.......schedule is to be made at start of month as agreed upon. I can no longer accept changes. I am full and cannot accommodate. And I will no longer accept change requests/schedules from anyone but the parents (this will be what will make Gmom mad). But lets be real! This is not her position. Gmom says she isn't responsible and forgets to tell me. If the mother cannot assume responsibility then it will be the mother who will deal with me. It isnt the gmoms position.
I had SA child for three years. No problems. But I dealt with dad all the time. Schedules have changed and now I deal with Gmom and mom (who are clearly not on the same page and blame eachother) and I have never had so many headaches and stress as I have had this month!
My husband said she told him she texted him because I don't answer the phone. Why should I? She isn't the parent! And my DCPs don't call my cell! That is my personal phone! And they don't call me on a holiday while I am spending time with my family! Nor do they call my husband! I think someone needs a reality check if you ask me!
Maybe they need to go down to the local center and pay $240 for infant care for the two days they want and enjoy cause I am at my last end of rope!
So much for a lovely relaxing weekend. Shot that to XXXX!
