I work 2 jobs from home and one job is really getting to me! Or rather a person is.
I had a bookkeeping business but I am bit bored with that and I am in the process of turning the company over to my sister in-law. This is a headache in itself!
To top things off I start training Monday for a new job that I will also be doing from home.
I am watching a 2yr old. This mother is taking advantage of me. I can't seem to get my point across to her that she needs to pick her son up on time. I would just charge her more but she is on a state program and they pay for child care. She is only ok'd for a certain time. She ALWAYS goes past the time she allowed. Today I have had it! I have my own son and have to get him to school in the mornings. She knows this! I have told her several times she may not drop her son off between 8:10 and 8:30. She told me today she was dropping her son off at 7:40 I said that was fine she didn't get her until 8:15 as I was walking out the door to take my son to school. I thought it was rude but just went about doing my usual routine. She calls me at 12:30 and ask if she can have lunch with some friends after she finishes her last final exam for school. I told her no I had to take my son to the DR. She seemed ticked off but I didn't care. I was not about to take her son with me. I told her she needs to pick her son BEFORE my son gets out of school. Well, that time comes and goes! I get back home with son at 3:20 and she is still not here! My son's DR appointment was at 3:30. I wait around for her and she finally shows. I had just checked my mail and got a notice that she is being dropped from the state program for child care because she missed an appointment with them. I handed her the notice and told her if it was not taken care of as of 10/24 I could no longer watch her son unless she was going to pay me. She was steamed!!! She blew down my street where kids were playing!! Now I was steamed! On my way to the DR.'s I called her and asked her if she could not fly down my street. We have already had one kid hit by a car because of you a teenager speeding in this area. She said fine but she didn't think she was speeding. I left it at that. When I got home the Family Resource lady had called me and told me that if the mother misses this next appointment she will be dropped from the program and I can go back on the list to keep another child. She also informs me that the mother will have a new school schedule as of 10/19. I have been told NOTHING about this!! I have my new job set up so my training is going to be done while she out of school for the next 2 weeks but I will have to go into the "office" once in awhile. How I can get through to this person that has no respect for other peoples time?
What is a nice way to say Hey, stop being a loser and come get your kid? Of course that is what I want to say but I need to find a way to be a bit nicer. I don't plan on watch her son much longer but I do need the extra money right now. The extra money supports my m/u addiction!
Is this a total lost cause? Am I doomed to deal with this until I drop her?
My husband wants me to drop but if I do that it means no MAC holiday anything. yes, I know it seems silly but I really enjoy my makeup treats. These are my only little treats I get so I covet them!
BTW sorry this is so long. I really needed to vent! My friends are no help they have nothing nice to say about her.
