Thought I'd get over it, but I'm still steamed. She signed an agreement to abide by holidays and vacations and not try to bully, guilt, or coerce me into taking their children. I actually have that in my handbook to let parents know that when I take a day off, I really mean that I AM taking that day off.

I would like to photocopy that page and sew it to her kid's shirt while he naps so she can't miss it tonight.

Have you considered having a frank discussion with her?

I'd really want to sit down with her and let her know that SHE agreed to certain policies and rules when she enrolled and that when she pushes the boundaries and acts like she did, it is really a quick way to sour the relationship between parent and provider.

The feelings you are feeling are fantastic breeding grounds for resentment and bitterness to cultivate and grow and you really can't afford to let that happen or you will go crazy.

I would almost HAVE to talk with her just so it can be nipped in the bud and so that I can get my feelings out to her. I think it's important for people to process and deal with feelings like this rather than just waiting for them to pass.

Let her know that you were really offended and not at all happy about her attitude.

((((hugs)))) for dealing. :hug:
