Oh The Crazy

[Rockgirl]

Big time. Texts until 11:00 pm last night and starting at 6:30 am this morning. She only gets a meeting because I think dcd is *probably* reasonable. He has no clue about the crazy texts.

We have a smaller town, but still bigger, I guess. Gossip spreads like wildfire here. All I need is ger going on the towns Facebook page and saying something untrue about me, and my daycare is over. It's not an official fb page, but it has 20,000 members. People get a lot of info there. Where to find businesses, which ones to avoid...

I personally wouldn't give them a meeting. Even if dcd is reasonable, dcm clearly is not.

As for the fb page, are you allowed to post on it? If so, you can defend yourself....definitely don't keep a problem family just for fear of fb posts about you.

Good luck!

I have a chapter in my book dedicated to the Stay at home mom wannabe. This mom is classic text book.

If you have the book reread the chapter before the meeting.

OP Update

I met with dcm and dcd, and I had my husband present. They begged to stay, but we shuffled them out pretty quickly. Dcd really put things back on dcm. He was shocked at some of her texts to me. I feel pretty secure that she won't go around bad mouthing me too bad now that the husband knows her game. Good luck to him

There was a question about thr fb page, and could I post on there, too. Yes, I can, I would just rather avoid it if possible.

Nannyde I've been meaning to buy your book. Now I'm going to have to just to read that chapter.

Whoo hoo! Back to normal.

Yay for being back to normal! And good for dad for putting this back on mom. Isn't is funny how parents sometimes act when they think their spouse won't find out?

Good call! What a basket of nuts that one is!

I would love to be a SAHM, too but I never made my provider feel bad about things because of my own financial situation!

I dodged this bullet last year! A friend wanted care but was unwilling to pay my fee and sign my contract until my police report was up to date!! She was my FRIEND who has known me for a long time and we went to ECE college together! (this would be totally fair and understandable if she had not been a friend and to make it worse my report was out by only 2 months and the police were backlogged so I was holding her space for FREE....).

She also sent me a detailed list of crazy questions like what kind of insurance do I have, what is my exit plan during fires etc. Basically I knew this was going downhill fast so I used the excuse of her not wanting to pay me to dump her. We are no longer "friends" :: I was going to send her a copy of my police report just to be a jerk but I decided against it. I just didn't want her to think I dumped her because of my police report.
