That;s exactly what it's like for me too. They never ask for my help. They never even tell me what goes on at home. The little boy BARELY eats ANYTHING and it took them almost 2 months for them to admit he doesn't eat at home. Instead of asking for help, or asking me to work with them, they just deal with alone. I mean, I have plenty of suggestions to help them, and I would offer it to them normally, but they get SO defensive. She was pregnant when they got the position, so I think that to them, this is just a temporary thing that they just have to survive through. I don't think they expected it to be like...A DAYCARE! lol Whatever. They're gone in October, so if I can't find the heart to let them go (I'm a little attached to the boy) beforehand, then at least they're gone then. Some days though, I want to let them go just because I know it will "screw" them over. haha Oh dear. I send home little report cards and announcements and such, and every now and then I'll be like: this is just a reminder that....blah blah blah. Most of the time they fix things, but dad seems like he's a bit of a "rebel" and doesn't like being told what to do so I feel like he fights it a bit. Which is SUPER annoying, but whatever. I'm getting better at being forward and assertive with them.
