So the saga continues with the DCM I turned down for care. She had set up an interview with my partner dayhome but once my partner S knew it was the woman I turned down she was going to cancel it. She forgot to cancel so the DCM showed up at her house. S told her that as she has a business relationship with me she thought it would be a conflict of interest, sorry her time had been wasted but it's not going to work out.
Well DCM flipped out at her! Insulted both S and her home. So S said you know you're confirming a few things that M (me) said please leave. DCM's husband was egging her on at this point so a few more insults and rude comments were made and then she left.
But then she called me. Yelled at me about "spreading rumors and telling lies" (which I hadn't. I simply told S that DCM had spent close to 10 minutes telling me off the last time we spoke). I tried to speak over her and say that as we don't have a working relationship please do not call me again. When she finally heard me she informed me that she would be "calling the proper authorities so I can get what's coming to me". WTH? How did I end up with this crazy woman?
She seems vindictive enough to call CPS with some sort of claim, so I'm half expecting a visit or some sort of contact from Child Services. I don't have anything to worry about of course. I keep the house neat and tidy, anything unsafe is kept well away from children. I feed them well and provide lots of space for play... basically I follow the rules for registered dayhomes even though I'm not registered. But even still I don't want them to be called even if it is false. I've been racking my brain trying to think of what other authority she could contact. I can't think of anything she could say to the police and as I'm private I don't have an agency for her to report anything to. The only thing I can think of is Child Services. I've been stressing all weekend about this!
Any advice on how to deal with this could be greatly appreciated!
