Parents being rude to your kids

No I didn't. I'm a bit of a softy. I went back and forth about it. I was REALLY pissed off! There was that, and other things that were bothering me, like him showing up two days in a row without shoes, dropping him and picking him up during nap times.
I spoke to my husband, and we both decided that we are more than able to survive finanically without the little boy. However, my son's birthday is coming up and I was counting on their money for that. I know it sounds silly, but I am making a big deal out of this birthday lol Also, my son LOVES the little boy. He cries when he leaves and he gets really excited when he comes. They play really well together, and they really love each other. It broke my heart to think that one day my son would wake up and be without the only friend he's ever had. I know, I'm a suck lol
So, I thought about writing a "final notice" letter, informing them of all the policies they've violated, but then I thought I should just terminate them. I went back and forth about it for a few days.
In the end, I re-issued my policies, asked that she read them, intitialize each page and return it by Friday, along with a written list of his hours while she's on vacation. I also texted her that day and told her that if the little boy didn't have shoes the following day, he would not be allowed to attend. On top of that, I sent the July newsletter out, with alot of "reminders", like eating breakfast prior to coming, no food allowed in the house unless they are willing to share, and that payment is still due on Monday even though it's a holiday.

Last night, she showed up with the policies signed, a the calendar with all his hours stated, and a check for the following two weeks. And she's been SUPER sucky. I think she realized she was being stupid and that she would be screwed without me. SO, I'm keeping them for the time being. I know I'm a big suck, but I think I put my foot down and I really hope she starts to take me seriously here on out.

So that is my LONG answer to your question lol

And I realize now that I have no right to complain about them after this. I have made the concious decision to keep them, even though I know they can be a pain in my ass, so I won't be complaining about them any longer - and hopefully I won't feel the need to either.

You can still complain/vent...there are always things we question or that annoy us even with the BEST of parents/kids...don't worry!
