I was given notice from my 9y before and after schoolie on tuesday morning, she'll be here until the 9th Feb when the schools go on half term. The reason her mum gave was I wasn't catering enough for her age group and she was unhappy, which to be perfectly honest is nonsense. Yes I only have her and one other after schooler but I include them is deciding what we do and this girl never adds any suggestions and wants constant attention, but even my friend and mum have commented how happy she seems, especially running around playing with my two. So, I'm feeling a bit crap about it all and think either it's the mum who doesn't like me or mindee is just telling mum nonsense and she's chosen to believe her (she's done similar with her teacher at school, attention seeking maybe?). And I'm finding it really hard at drop off and pick up times to not say something, how do you get through these periods? Just smile and nod?
It's made worse by like tonight, since we came home at 3.30pm we've made gingerbread men, choc chip fairy cakes, then new play doh and played with that for ages (which she was really enjoying) then it gets to 5mins before her mum is due and she goes through to the living room and lies on the sofa playing her ds looking bored!
