Terminating for the first time.......sad and also a bit relieved. Part 2.......

Shut the.... front door.... are you kidding me???????
Like Reggio, my jaw actually- physically- DROPPED while reading this. Burying your head in the sand like a camel is possibly the worst thing this mother can do to curb the behaviour from this child.
Truthfully, I wouldn't have lasted as long as you did. And I, for damn sure, would not have put up with her calling me names and disrespecting me so blatantly in front of the mother (with zero repurcussions, no less!). You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. But I am also entitled to the respect I deserve.
This is in NO WAY considered "age appropriate". I have a 10 year old and an 8 year old, and you better believe that if they did ANY of those things, there would be some consequences. How does a child learn "This is the crap I gotta deal with?" or "I don't have time for this crap?". From home, that's how.
Gawwwd I am just disgusted and saddened. But also relieved, because whether you decide to terminate immediately or give the full 2 weeks, either way, you have an end in sight now!!
Here's to moving on!
