I let a mother go in order to come into compliance with the food programs numbe limits. I was within those limits as she was supposed to be on the certificate program by the time we started, but she decided not to participate when she found out she had to work. Smh. Why she thought the state would pay me for her to sit home all day I’ll never know.
Anyway I had already told all families we would be starting and she got free food anyway from WIC and food stamps. Plus she was the only parent without a job.
I explained and offered to watch him until the end of next week. She said send his stuff home this Friday instead. So I went ahead and got all of his stuff together that stays here and told her it was ready for her at pickup, and she could just send his day to day stuff the next couple of days.
Instead she picked him up at the last minute as always (drops him off first too, despite not working), immediately blocked me on Facebook and started badmouthing me. I started getting screenshots from people left and right. (Small town.)
Then her sister messaged on my app wanting me to refund her money. Umm, no. I did tell her that my social media policy was violated and her posts were forwarded to my attorney, and she would owe me money if they weren’t deleted.
I ended up having to make a post on my daycare page. Very professional. Nothing included that I’d like to say so I’m getting them off my chest here:
Where was her sisters concern when I was insisting the right diapers be sent? Worse, when she came in on Monday saying she’d run out of milk and had been feeding the baby Pedialyte as she handed me a just purchased can of formula. Why was she out? Because despite have no job she didn’t manage to make the WIC appointment. Just like she had told me that she had to call and reschedule his shots because she “just couldn’t do it” and was “too busy” that week. Doing what exactly?
This is the mom that was madder than all get out over having to pick her sick kid who turned out to have RSV and made multiple trips to the emergency room with her. He also got everyone else sick. Every single kid and family member in my home got it. It didn’t help that she took hours to come get him and insisted he wasn’t sick for two straight days after that until he RSV was diagnosed. Then on Facebook she became the poor worried mother. Ugh. Now she’s making things up about me sending everyone home if one kid was sick.
Not to mention the state paid me a visit about her child. Rightly so.
I can’t say any of that on social media. Or much of anything really. She can say whatever and I cannot without looking unprofessional and like a drama mama like her. It’s so frustrating!
She’s sooooo mad that she has to watch her own child!
