I know we aren't going to "love" every child we take on. But I pretty much adore all of mine... except ONE. I don't know what to do. I've known her parents along time, and she is 8 years old. Everything she does just irritates me. I have a 7 Year old And they like to play, but I knOW she gets on her nerves too.
She lies, constantly. about the most random things. She's been here a year and can't seem to get the rules. Basic things like don't Leave your backpack on the kitchen floor, Unzipped with everything falling out, put your dish in the sink, close the baby gate, take your shoes off when you come in (even my 1-year olds do this!) ....she whines...won't eat anything I serve, cries if a 7 month old pulls onher hair or dothes, actually pushed down one of my 1 year olds and when I Asked her why she cried and said he was pushing her first ... she's just not into babies which is fine but not Condusive to being in daycare.
I'M the onlthe only one who works on HW with her, and she's really struggling and does not listen or use logic or follow basic instructions.
Not onlythat but I chargenext to nothing for her to come. She's here all day this week for spring Break which is a precursor to the Summer, HELP ME!
I won't be taking her next fall because I told her parents I will not offer school drop Off or pick up anymore. So, its just the summer.
But, do I just **** it up? Since its only until the end of Summer? Do I charge them regular rates? (contract is finished as of now)
If I do term, what do I say All I can think of is "Your Kid is Awful" ... I know that sounds awful, please forgive me.
Also, I feel like it complicates it that they are our neighbors and that even though she probably wouldn't admit it, she really idolizes my 7yo dd And tells everyone they are " BFFs" ...my dd does not feel this way at All... *sigh* Advice is welcome. And if this is like some personal issue I have tell me!
