    Misdirected Email

    Does anybody know or can anyone guess what the acronym B.O.W. could possibly stand for? I got an email today from a DCM that was clearly not intended for me, but I'm sure was about me. It was not a nice email, and she referred to me as BOW, which is obviously her nickname for me. I can't think of what it could stand for. Any ideas?

    Generally I've seen it as "bitch on wheels" but I dont know if that is a common acronym or not so I could be very wrong but that's how I've seen it used most.

    Yikes! What a terrible thing to say (if that is what DCM meant) and wow! that is was accidentally sent to you by mistake :confused:

      I think we need to see a copy of the email for further clarification ::

      I do think it mean Bitch on wheels. Does that make sense? Ridiculously rude.

        Yes! Context would help but "bitch on wheels" would be my guess as well.

        How terribly rude. I'm sorry

          You go Tasha happyface

          That means she fears and respects you, she just does not want to admit it. You own space in her head, rent free.... ::::

            I've also seen it as "battle of wills"

            Context would help with deciphering what she meant.

            What are you going to say to her in response?

                Sorry bout that.

                OP: I'd keep silent about it. AWKWARD silent. Make her bring it up if she must. Let it fester in her head while you forget it even happened.

                    That's what I did too (that is the first thing that popped up)because I couldnt imagine someone seriously referring to their provider in the "other way" that I posted. ::

                      OMG, that didn't even occur to me. Of course that's what
                      she meant! I am really angry.

                        Last summer I was the OP of a long thread that really bit me hard because the DCM recognized that she was the subject of my thread, so I'm worried about posting this other DCM's email.
                        On the other hand, she's the one being nasty, so I shouldn't worry about that, right?

                            her email...

                            I'll paraphrase her note to me.
                            She wrote that ''BOW charged me a late fee because I was 7 minutes late. SEVEN minutes!"
                            She also said that I was smug and that I enjoyed charging her, and that it's one thing after another with me, including ''the underwear and pacifier.''

                            I'm really seething. I did charge her a late fee, but only because this is the 3rd time she's been late in the last 5
                            weeks, and because I was closed yesterday and opened
                            up for her after she begged me! She also wants to
                            send her kid in underwear, when he's not nearly ready.
                            I never even knew the pacifier was an issue. She's
                            going to be here in 30 minutes and I have no idea
                            what to say to her, but I am really steamed.

                              I am not sure I would say anything. I wouldn't change how I do things either though. In fact I would be sure to charge her EVERY time she is late. What is the deal with the paci? I am assuming the issue is you won't let child run around with it. The thing is parents very seldom realize that it gets to a point where the parent needs a child to have these things much more than the child needs it.

                              I can understand being angry, I would start interviewing. When you fill the spot and term her, she will ask why. I would then say "well turns out you think I am a B on wheels, so you must not want me to provide care for you anymore".
