So I think this may be the straw that breaks the camel's back. We shall see...
I received a text message Friday after his mom picked him up after lunch. (I've requested from her not to text me at least 3 separate times and to call instead because she alone has put me over my texting rates a few months (116 texts just from her in June)... she still even sends me random text messages to ask how his day is going or let me know she's on her way to pick him up. (Don't waste your time texting me! Just come!) I've stopped responding since I've asked her not to multiple times. I am going to be posting a sign that I'm charging extra for those who text.
Her 21 month old (who is the same one I have been considering terming because of him chewing my home up) had as of Friday begun climbing out of his crib. He has not done this here yet. She's sent me 2 more messages this weekend that he's climbed out of the pack and play about 20 times and his "big boy bed" about the same number of times. I think this kid is going to drive me to the brink of insanity if he begins doing this here because I already cannot trust him with his chewing, destroying and eating everything that is not food related. His nap area is in a pack and play in my office upstairs. He is a light sleeper so I keep him sleeping alone with a fan running in there, otherwise the other kids cut his naps short. I now cannot trust that he won't even climb over my gates.
Not good... not good at all... I realize his parents can help it but don't know what to do other than to term if this is how this is going to go.
I did buy the superyard and i've been using it sparingly so far. Only when I'm not in the room and I do use it for some of the babies on occasion but I can't keep him upstairs now because not only will he climb out of the pack and play but he might climb over the gate at the stairs or my gates going out of the playroom...
I was considering putting him in the superyard for naptime since it's in the playroom where I stay during their naps and I can watch him but then I'm frustrated because when the other kids get up I will have to bring them down and they will wake him up. That or when parents pick up early it will disrupt his nap. SO FRUSTRATED. I've been trying so hard to make this work out but I feel like I'm going to go crazy with this kid.
