Stupidest Cancelled Interview Excuse Ever!

[daycarediva]

Had a great phone interview with a great family, set up an in person interview tonight. Mom was so excited and just knew it was going to be a great fit, etc.

Today, Mom sends me a super vague email cancelling the interview tonight. I didn't reply back, really didn't know what to say. :confused:

Couple of hours later I get a photo text of a facebook screenshot from my current dcm. Apparantly she is an acquaintance/hs classmate of the interview Mom. Interview Mom apparently internet stalked me, found my photo (me with my group of kids, very PC!) and linked my BUSINESS PHOTO AND another photo of me at a training that I was tagged in by another provider and said on her personal facebook that she would NEVER allow her husband around me, so she wasn't bringing her kid here! asking if other people would bring their children to a 'pretty babysitter' and made references to some baby sitting/escort movie (???)

What kind of insecure, crazy person is this? I feel like I dodged a bullet, but I also want to do something snarky in the email reply to her. I was considering adding the photo she posted as an attachment.

Oh my gosh!!! She put your photos on her personal facebook page and then asked people if they would send their kids to you or someone who was pretty like you?

I feel like that is a major, major, major invasion of privacy, and it is by far extremely creepy.

I would report the photo to facebook so that it is taken down.

I am honestly speechless for you. Wow.

[EntropyControlSpecialist]

That is horrifying.

I gotta say, I'd call her on it.

She has some MAJOR issues. So glad she made the decision easy for you to not have to deal with her.

I would do a reply like this:

Dear lady,

I'm sorry we were unable to interview. I hope you have good luck finding an ugly daycare provider. In the future, please do not take pictures that belong to me and post them in public places, out of my control.

Thank you.

ETA: Ok, I wouldn't really say this, because I don't like confrontation. But I feel like this lady warrants SOME type of response. And wouldn't it be funny to see her face when she reads that

[hoopinglady]

definitely dodged a bullet.

can you imagine never letting your husband around attractive people? that is just sad.

Holy wow.

I guess I'd probably just leave it alone, though it would irritate me. As long as she didn't slander you and only accused you of being pretty. ha.

The curse of being hot!

I personally, have never had that happen.

[MrsSteinel'sHouse]

Wow!! That is just about all I can say! WoW!

must not trust her hubby much, huh?!

good one. totally, send this. i doubt there would be a confrontation.

Current (and strikingly beautiful dcm that I let in my home 2x a day and who chats with my husband :: ) reported the photos to facebook, since I had NO IDEA how to do such a thing and defended me on the status about losing an amazing provider because her child loves it here, for being petty.

My first thought was that I feel sorry for her, I'm not mad (shocked, for sure). But she must have a terrible relationship with her husband to trust him so little.

Add this to the list of DUMB A** CRAP I have heard from doing daycare!

[MsLaura529]

I was just going to ask you what other people said in response to her??

I'm glad your current dcm stuck up for you.

[daycarediva]

Also, I'm annoyed that she called me a BABYSITTER. I need a tshirt that says "NOT A BABYSITTER"

I think I will say something in the email, I will be polite about it but I want her to be aware that I'm aware.

Some laughed at it, pretty sure they thought it was a joke. Some agreed with her and some called her immature. Definite mixed response. My dcm is going to update me later and show me it all on her phone.

[Scout]

Well, I have to admit when I first saw your pic I said, "wow, Daycarediva is a hottie!"::...be glad you dodged that one!

[mema]

Wow!

Glad current DCM stood up for you! Kudos to her!
