Sorry, didn't read through, just want to rant under this subject heading. My lingering dcm that I've been gritching about has finally made me hit my limit.
Yesterday, Grandma dropped off and half of my kiddos were in preschool, the other half were downstairs playing. Dcg was bawling, so Grandma was going to take her in the classroom and disrupt preschool so dcg could play with her friend. UM, NO. She held her for a good long time until I finally forced her to go, and she seemed rather miffed. I texted dcm ten minutes later while dcg was happily playing with her friends and all was well.
This morning, she sent me a four page text about how I broke my promise to her little girl because we didn't go on our normal Tuesday outing to our local children's museum, and the only reason dcg(3) would get in the car to come to daycare that day is because she(mom) promised she could go there. Apparently dcg cried all night because she didn't get to go to the museum. (We do try to go every Tuesday, but preschool ran late and we had a lot going on, so sometimes we just don't make it. No other children have an issue with this).
Today when I got that horrid message from her, I was ready to term, but I asked her to please come in Thursday morning for a meeting. I intended to address the museum issue, as well as the lingering/crying issue. She basically told me no, and that if I had any issues I needed to call her because she was too busy to come all the way here. (She is unemployed).
I told her I would rather discuss things in person, and invited her to a wide range of hours that I could sit and discuss things with her. She responded by accusing another dck of bullying her daughter, and said dcg's father (divorced) wants to be in on the meeting, so she asked to set it after my normal hours, Friday evening at 6.
I haven't written her back. What would you do/say? She only comes on Tuesdays & Thursdays, so tomorrow morning is going to be super awkward if we set a meeting for Friday and she wants to confront me anyway in the morning. I'm leaning towards just handing her the term letter and telling her we have no need for a meeting at this point. Grr.

Sounds to me like someone thinks they run your business.
NO flipping way would I be okay with being spoken to or treated that way! Unless DCG pays your salary SHE does NOT get to dictate your day and what activities you participate in.
Honestly, if you can afford to, I'd term. This mom needs a good old dose of "NO!"Comment

Yep! That's what she's getting in the morning. Already have the letter printed. A huge weight has already been lifted off my shoulders, can't wait to feel what it's like to never see this crazy woman again! I've been annoyed by her for over a year, but she's just started to get super bossy and rude. Time to stop it before it gets worse.
Happy dance! happyfaceComment

Here here! Or is it hear hear! Who cares.
I agree with this post.
If I had read this book before finding this board, I would've thought Nannyde to be overly dramatic with her descriptions of dcparents. But after seeing posts on this forum talking about what crazies there are out there her book is spot on and advises you how to cope with them too.
I, for one, cannot wait for #2 book to be released!
I just want to add that the way she talks shows how much the children in her care are adored and well cared for. It's the parents, who are adults and should 'know better' that we all have to deal with. This book is realistic and informative and I might add extremely helpful, if you are blessed(cursed) with any of these kinds of parents.Comment
