I have a little boy that Ive been watching for almost a year now. Ive gotten to know them well and the mom and I get along great. The weird thing is some days it seems like she comes in in a bad mood and Im never sure if its something Ive done or not.
For example, she normally gets here at around 1:30-2:00, which is toward the end of nap time. Whenever I open the door and tell her that they are asleep, she kinda rolls her eyes like she doesnt like having to pick him up when he is asleep. Well, she's the one that chooses to come at that time; not me! Some days she comes and its later, like 2:30 or 3pm, and they've been up and had snack and are playing.
Today she showed up during nap time and when she came in to get him I told her that they'd only been napping for about an hour because we were playing and doing things that kept them up later. She never commented to me at all but went straight to her son and started trying to wake him up. They played in finger paints today and I took their shirts off because the smocks i usually use were not cleaned. When naptime came around, they didnt want to put their shirts back on so I didnt argue it. I pick my battles! She likes to talk to her 2 year old while she's trying to wake him up but it seems like she's really talking to me. Ever get parents like that? Anyway, she said something about him being cold because she thought he was shivering. My house is sitting at 75 degrees and Im always cold and I wasnt so he was fine. Obviously I would have put shirts on them had I felt that they were going to be cold. Then she said something after she got him up and was getting his shoes on about how she tries to come when he's not sleeping but its hit or miss....Ummm, coming between 12-2pm is right smack in the middle of naptime! How can she try to avoid naptime when she shows up right in the middle of it?
And we did a craft today and I gave it to her and she took it without even commenting on it or anything. She looked at me funny too. I dont know. I hate parents sometimes because I know they can have on days and off days but I just think its rude to not say anything to me the entire time she's in my house picking up her son.
But other times, she talks to me great and normal and tells me about her week and all that, like its nothing. I guess there's nothing to do but blow it off but its just weird....and I dont like defending myself, even if I dont say anything outloud to her at the time. I dont like feeling like Ive done something wrong.
