Last night a DCM texted me around 7:30 that DCB was crying inconsolably and wanted to know if "something happened at DC today"... DCM lives with her mom and Nana asked her to ask me. DCM just figured he was overly tired but Nana wanted her to check.
A) if he gets hurt and needs any treatment other than hugs and kisses here I send him home with a boo-boo report and B) even if it just required hugs and kisses, I still tell whoever picks him up.
It really kind of offended me that of all things that could have taken place, she thinks it happened here?? This DCB is one I've talked of many times, he's delayed in several areas, has dietary issues, absent father, multiple adults living at home, only child, etc. He does GREAT here and always has. He's my best eater, my best sleeper... sure he has his other issues but overall he has a blast here. He is always happy to come here (unless Nana drops him off and lingers) and happy when he leaves. His therapists and case managers all say he's SO different here, that he's happy and engaging, not clingy and crying like at home. So like usual, he goes home and cries and it's suddenly something I neglected to tell them or even worse, hid from them?
I just don't know what she expected me to say aside from no, I would have told you at pickup if something happened. I told her he took a little bit shorter of a nap because the kids are home early on Wednesdays but not a significant amount of time that isn't normal for our early-out days. He didn't cry at all, he had lots of fun, ate well, slept well... nothing unusual. But now it just has me feeling offended that they even would ask me such a thing after 14 mos of him being here.
