Last 30 Days Feels Like 10,000

[daycare]

U g g is a bad word ???? Lol

[hope]

If she shows up early tomorrow, term on the spot at the door. Don't take her kid. If she makes a snotty remark at drop off, turn her right back out the door and tell her she is termed. Nasty reply to your email, tell her not to bother showing tomorrow. If she texts you during the day with a snide remark, tell her to pick up immediately and term.

DCM picked up on time today and did not say a word.

I ended up moving my planter in front of the door bell allowing zero access to it. A sign hangs above it that says
Don't touch it.

Let's see how it rolls after this.

[NightOwl]

No reply to the email?? How rude... Does that count toward being rude and immediately termed?

I'm excited to see what the morning brings. I'm living vicariously through you. ::

Ya know what gets me? Well aside from how obnoxious this dcm seems to be...what gets me is the fact she's clearly not happy with you, your rules, whatever, yet she continues to bring her child there.

[KidGrind]

Some of you may recall my DCM that was complaining about my 1.5 mile move. Trying to claim it was taking her 20+minutes to get to my house now, so she needed more flexibility in her drop off and pick up schedule.

Other things went down that got us to where we are now. I gave her notice 2 weeks ago and this month is their last month here.

Every single day since me giving notice has been pure you know what. EVERYDAY it's something else, doing little things to just get under me skin...

I am not a big drinker, but this woman is going to drive me to drink, heck she might even get me to eat chocolate.

This morning she arrives 20minutes before her start time, first one here. Normally I do have another child that starts earlier, but they are out of town for the week.

I saw her arrive, but carried on with my ways in the back of my house like normal. I was still getting dressed too, so I was not going to go answer the door in my current state.

Finally, 15 minutes later sick of hearing her knocking, I open the door saying wow you guys are super early today.

DCM says in a surprised tone, oh are we earlier. I give her the look.

When I moved into this house, I covered my doorbell with a note that says DO NOT RING. I did this for my sanity.

DCM tells me you need to reconsider implementing the bell for adults only. I bite my lip and walk away. DCM leaves.

I go out to sweep the porch and DCM took off my doorbell cover/sign.

I am soooo mad. She has been pulling little annoying stuff like this every day since I gave notice.

She's not breaking any policies, but she is doing little things here and there to just really be a pain in the back side.

You ladies are so clever and witty....what would you do if this were happening to you?

Removing the sign would be breaking policy, it is demonstrating a lack of respect.

“Jane I need you to return the sign you removed from my property. If you refuse or unable to comply, I will be unable to keep caring for Johnny. I don’t do disrespect professionally and never in regards to my home. I am sure you understand.”

BIG SMILE.

THIS. If she feels like your program, you, the other kids, WHATEVER, are not a good environment for her child, why would she keep bringing him? We all know you don't, but if you ****ed as a provider, what mom would continue to take her kid to a bad (or what SHE perceives as bad) provider?

[AmyKidsCo]

If I could afford it, I would term immediately. Not worth the hassle and stress.

Even if we couldn't really afford it, I'd still seriously consider terming because it's not worth the stress.

If she decides to complain to licensing, friends, etc about being kicked out, she'll look like an idiot when she is forced to admit that she got a refund despite her petty behavior...

If I could pay other annoying people in my life to leave me alone, I'd be a broke but happy woman.

My policies also say no refunds on pre-paid fees, but I'd refund her just so she's got no reason to complain when you term her early.

And I WISH there was a way to pay annoying people to stay away! ::

I already have their replacement signed up and ready to go.

Then I would DEFINITELY term right away. Refund and be sweet as pie so there's nothing to come back and bite you later.

She's not leaving because she feels that I am not a fit or offer great services. She's leaving because I refused to let her extend her services an additional hour each day without pay.

According to her she's never questioned my abilities as a teacher or a provider.

Another day done let's hope she's grown up a little since reading my email.

I hate passive/aggressive parents, that don't know how to control their own temper tantrums

At least you have the ball back in your court with the warning you emailed her, and you are being more than fair with her.

Please keep us posted

well dcd dropped off for the first time in the history of them being here. 1 year. I have never really met him before, but it was short sweet and simple. He asked what time does he need to be picked up and I said any time before 5:30.

I find it funny.........::::

I cant stand when adults throw tantrums. Especially when they are throwing them at tantrum identification professionals...... thats like saying a cook can't identify the difference between salt and sugar......

Yeah I am going to notice that you are acting less mature than your 2.5 year old......

Well this is good. He probably knows better than anyone else just how crazy his wife really is, so I would be super nice to the husband so when he goes home, he will be like- well she seems nice to me!

This lady sounds like a total nut case!
