I have a daycare gmom here who started out as a friend at church way before her grandkids became clients. But all S knows how to do is talk about the kids with me. Now I would say she is just a totally in love gmom who whips out her kids pics at the blink of an eye to show the world. Only she only does it with me. She will hold convos with everyone else around me....but me. I could be talking with someone else about something and she will whip her head around and inject in some way something that one of the kids did or said that could be totally unrelated to the conversation. I hear about how E is going poop at home. How C is so bright and doing XYZ. About what they ate. Did I notice....want to see....does she do...... AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
Sigh
It makes me sad and frustrated and to the point I want to talk away in the other direction so I do not have to speak with her. Only issue is we are both in choir together and there is times I cannot get away.
"Dear Gmom
I am sooooooo much more than a provider. I was your friend. I like to read and go to the movies and take long walks. I have children of my own. I enjoy painting and drawing. I can be a wallflower at times but I love putting the music on loud and dancing around my livingroom too. I enjoy ballroom dancing and I have a habit of talking to myself when I think no one else is around. I am funny, I cry at everything, I am quirky....I am a sister, daughter, mother, friend. I am so much more than a daycare provider and although I love your gkids I do not want to hear about when they fart, hit each other, watched a movie, went grocery shopping, ate a cookie, etc etc etc. Sometimes, just once in a while, I like to be ME."
Do you guys ever feel this way? Like sometimes people cannot see you beyond your business?
