Hello
Just needed to vent really and I apologise as this will be a long one! :blush: I've had ** since january and he's 6. I pick him up from school and have him till 6pm, I don't give him tea as mum didn't want me to(everybody else is eating tho!), in the holidays he comes mon, tues and thurs 8-6 and fri 8-3. Well, he was due in all week last week, but didn't turn up the friday, mum just texted later to say he wouldn't be coming and left it at that. Monday morning I get a letter of termination in the post. Mum has issues and he's not coming back. They are as follows:
1. mum asked me in the beginning of the year when my holiday was in summer, I said PROBABLY the same as last year, the last week in july and first week in august, o.k she said. (it just happened that it would have been my maternity leave coz our baby was due at beginning of summer hols, but we lost it in january) we decided not to have our holiday then so as not to remind us of that time and informed every parent at the beginning of april that it would be from 23rd august for a week. Mum wrote down on the back of the letter what she wanted to book ** in for. She is now saying that I changed my holiday without informing her and that she has had to find cover for **on a week that she has booked him in with me! She is accusing me of not organising my dates properly when it is her mistake!
2. My partner has just become my assistant and because he is male she is not happy and very angry that I did not ask her if he would be suitable for my assistant. she is worried as assistants can be left alone with the children( my partner is only being left with sleeping little ones if I have to do the school run!) and was i aware that he would need to be police checked! she was not happy that I have not discussed with her what qualifications he has. As we can increase my numbers, she has stated that my only thought is of money and not for the children
3. she is complaining that there is litter in my front garden (we live on a very busy main road and it gets blown in or people drop it in) and broken glass (there is NOT) and therefor my house is unsafe for children!
4. her son told her that I spend all day on the computer and leave them to their own devices! I do not and he has said exactly the same thing to me about his dinner lady( which I checked out as I know them and it was a complete lie!)
so she has terminated. not once did she come to me to discuss any of these things!:(
Sorry
