I must admit, I thought that the kids and parents you describe as hard to manage was an exaggeration. But, today I had an interview with a mom and her 3 year old boy. Wow!
He was rude, aggressive and just plain bad. She made excuses for his behaviour. I had to giggle to myself as I was going through this that I really need to apologize to you all for being an unbeliever.
As the interview went on, I knew there was no way I was taking him. I put up all kinds of red flags with mom on purpose so that she would decide not to place him with me.
She said he doesn't nap.... I right out said then it won't work..... ALL my kids nap. She asked if he could quietly just read a book. I couldn't have been more blunt.. Nope, I need an hour to recharge. I thought that would be the end of it. She said, ok then you can nap him.
He pulled his pants down in the yard to pee..... I told mom that's not allowed, and that if Licensing saw that I would be shut down immediately. I turned around again and he's punching my dcg, I started running to her. Every time I looked at him he was misbehaving and being mean to the other kids. I out and out told mom he was not allowed to touch my dog or cat. She said, why not does the dog nip the kids? I answered that no he doesn't and I want to keep it that way. I don't think I could have been more blunt about his behaviour. I have never met a kid like this EVER.
Everything he did, I had to correct. I had had it with that kid. I'm pretty sure mom thinks I'm a cow. Whatever! that was want I wanted her to think anyways. So, I told her I would give him a two week trial. But, I think I'll just call her tonight and tell her no. I'll blame the napping issue.
