(long) Vent: Loser of a mother!

[Mamma_Mia]

My dcg is like one of those you hear about and think it's like "bigfoot"....no ever sees them! haha

I should have known this was a bad arrangement from the begining when there were like 40 red flags but we needed the $$ and were not in the position to be selective. We were to move into our new house on Jan.4...but delayed it to the 14. On the 6th I got a call from this mom saying the previous homeowner passed my info along, She heard I was doing daycare and wanted to know if I could watch her daughter.....tomorro w!!! I told her that I don't have any furniture since I'm not living there yet but if she still wanted too, I would do it. She said yes....the next day it was "Hi nice to meet you, here is my kid, I'll be back at 4pm". With NO info!!!!!! Who the &%$* does that???? 2nd day I had a contract & forms for her and she looked at me like I was from mars. Too bad lady, I need to cover my own arse!

Dcg is a total sweetie, speaks so well and is very independent, potty trained, feeds herself etc. She's 2yrs old! and does things that I know some 4yr olds don't.....she even makes her bed after nap (she did it on her own). Mother drops her off at 8am when it's supposed to be at 7:30 and there is an excuse every morning. She's in dirty pajams and socks 2 sizes too small...even her change outfit is dirty! Her hair is a birds-nest from not being brushed, except for when I do it because she sees me fixing my daughter and asks for her hair too

So...she arrives at 8am with maybe a 1/2 peice of dry toast in her from the car ride - one time I asked if she ate since she was eyeing my daughter's food - mom replies "she found some hickory sticks in the car and had those"
Mom is home early many days (because I notice clothing change) and doesn't come to get her kid until 6PM!!! We agreed to that time because of her working in Toronto....not to chill out! Dcg goes to bed at 7:00pm....mom says she makes dinner so that leaves her 1hr with her child ALL day and I'm 100% sure she doesn't spend any time with her. Fridays mom dropps her off at nana's and the week starts again! I believe nana is the only parent dcg has! *not* that this defines someone but mom has a 11yr old son from man#1 dcg is from ex-hubby and is getting married to #3 this summer

Last week she sent me a text at midnight saying she'd be dropping off dcg after 9am.....fine. At 8am I got another text saying she was going to stay home with dad! Uhhhh I have a phone, call me and you still owe me for the day, 1hr notice isn't enough!!! She begged me to let this time go.....and like an idiot I did

Now I'm at a boiling point....this is the same mom who walks into my house with shoes on, wetting my floors even after I hinted. Today she sent a new sippy cup filled with grape juice (I didn't check since I told her only water was allowed) well the new cup isn't spill proof and I have grape juice ALL over my floors, carpet & beige couch!!!!!!

I would terminate BUT dcg is the only one I have right now....I have a part-timer starting tomorrow but she's my only full-time and I don't want to shoot myself in the foot with the $$.

ahhhhhhh!!!
