I have a just turned 5yo dcb with only 1.5 weeks left in care so this is really just a vent because it is almost over........when he gets here he knocks and knocks and knocks, I have made several comments to dad about it being unnecessary, etc. etc. I started off nicely saying things like "Wow, Dcb i would have never known who was here but since you were knocking continually i knew it had to be you". I have continued to make more direct comments to father and son with dcd always ending with " I tell him to stop but he just doesn't listen to me" REALLY!? Oh my, what shall we ever do if our kid won't listen i guess we will just let them do as they please.
Today, they show up while 10m old is napping AND i had my nap signs out, knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock, i see baby lift her head (has only been asleep half an hour) puts head back down, knock knock knock knock knock knock, baby lifts head again, i open the door fuming mad and firmly say "dcb, the baby WAS sleeping but you just woke her up" *baby chimes in with loud cries* I start to go to pick up baby and dcd says "he was knocking quietly" so i replied with "he was knocking continually" baby is crying and dcd says to baby from across the room in pack and play "oh, its not that bad" so i pick up baby and calm her with " oh, my poor baby, those rude people woke you up knocking on the door" childish, i know, but what does it take to get through to these parents, i was just sooo mad.
