I Feel Snarky

[CraftyMom]

My parents' are usually good. But this week, man!

1. I termed a child for hitting. Happening since September. Parents kept saying "i know, I know". Of course as soon as I term its "oh well this other kid is hitting, blah blah blah"

2. parents bring in pt boy in underwear. has never went pee on the potty. and he is eating fruit chewies....that are going all over my floor.....less than five feet from the now crawling infant.

3. ex parent begs me for care. don't have it. begs again. don't have it. ask for tax statement. you will get it this week. two days later, i really need the tax statement. Remember all those weekly receipts I gave you? That is your proof.

4. parent says "woops i forgot the check because they only let me work two days this week" bring it tonight or there are late fees. still hasn't shown up.

All different kids. Have the planets aligned in a way I am unaware of? I know this is more of a vent. but it is Friday night, I have no plans and I want to relax but I can't stop thinking about the parents. Forget everything else, get out of my head so I can enjoy my weekend!

It seems like for me everything will be smooth with the parents for a while then all of sudden bam! Issues with all of them at the same time! Or resolve one issue with a parent and then another arises with someone else ugh! It would be easier if I didn't have to talk to parents most days

I'm going to have a serious talk with 1 dcmom today at pickup. She brings 2 kids at 5:45 (my earliest drop off) and I'm ok with them bringing a small blanket each because they lay down and go back to sleep for a while. But the other day they brought full size blankets for each kid. I don't have the room to store them. I told dcmom that the blankets were too big and inconvenient and to bring smaller blankets in. This morning again 2 full sized blankets. So today dcmom is being told no more blankets. I will provide a small blanket for each child to use when they come in early. I know dcmom with pitch a fit because she wraps the kids in these blankets in the car for the drive here instead of putting their coats on them. Too bad

She still can. Just take them back with her once she deposits the kids inside.

Or offer her storage. For a fee of course.

Great idea! I've had similar situations. I'll have to remember this, sometimes the answer is right in front of us and we don't see it
