I have had dcb3 and dcg 9m since October, DCM has good intentions yet no follow through. I was able to be pretty lenient with her in the beginning since I was running a small center with employees to open and close and there were usually kids there anyways. I recently moved back home and no longer have that liberty.
DCB is supposed to be going to a special ed preschool because of a speech delay. (this is the only time he gets speech therapy) he is behind and really needs it, dcm cannot get him there to save her life, she is supposed to bring me baby and then take dcb to school (only two days a week). So last week she tells me she needs an earlier drop off because she is always late, and thinks this will help her get dcb to school. He hasn't gone in 3 weeks. She very rarely drops off on time she is always late getting here as well, so not sure how it is going to help.
Well day one of new schedule she shows up half hour after old later drop off time. DCB in tow, no preschool, was running late. I emphasis to her the importance of speech and that he will not catch up is she does not follow through, suggested a speech therapist out of the school district where he could be picked up here and taken and brought back. She said he didn't qualify for transportation.
So Monday she came and said the school bus would pick him up here at 7:20 so she will drop off here at 7 and tells me to have dcb eat as soon as he arrives to get on the bus. UMMMM no, I told her he needs to eat before he comes 20 min (if she gets here on time ) is not enough time to get him fed and on the bus. Today she texts and says running late be there around 8. I had another little girl here that usually isn't so I didn't get up just for her but still annoying. Why can't she follow through?
She has also started asking for later hours.
Monday afternoon she texts and asks me to keep kids an hour later one day next week, I tell her no I have other commitments. She comes in yesterday and asks me to keep them until 7 today or tomorrow, no I have parent teacher conference. Well how about one day next week, if you do the math your kids will be here for 12 hours, no I can't do that I start and 6:30 and don't want to work a 13 hour day. No I can't.
She works and goes to school these extra hours are for her to catch up on homework. She told me the other day that she has later classes 3 days a week. If she would follow through with the earlier drop off (which doesn't bother me if she FOLLOWS THROUGH) then she would have 2 hours those 3 days a week to study in the morning. This mom is driving me nuts I feel like she wants to push her parenting responsibilities onto me because she can't follow through.
I just want to term because she is driving me batty! I think I need to have that as one of my reasons for termination, If parent annoys me, it could lead to termination!
