WELL!! Dad is the one who drops the dck off in the morning. The minute he walked in, he apologized. (I cc'd him on all the emails). He said she was being unreasonable and contradicting herself. She even contradicted herself to him. THEN HE SAID "I guess this is a good time as any to let you know that *child* and *mom* are going on vacation FOR TWO MONTHS IN OCTOBER! WHAT!!?? And you didn't think of telling me this when he started three weeks ago?!

I guess that solves my problem though lol although I wrote up the term letter, I am going to wait until a)I find a replacement or b) they leave - whichever one comes first. Dad is SUPER nice and very reasonable, and it's hard to hold any of this against him. I know that they are having some communication issues between the two of them, and maybe they're not happy. He did say he was quite excited for them to leave lol

Anyways, so I guess I'm not going to terminate today, but I did say that if anything else happens, I'm done. She is NOT to contact me via email or text - only by phone and if she attacks me again, it's done. I told him that I sympathize with how difficult it would be for them to find someone for the next month, so I will keep him, but I am not one to be taken advantage of and I will not stand being attacked. He understood and apologized profusely.

Ugh. I hate being so nice. I wish I could have just said F**k you, go away. But, in the back of my mind, all I can think about is my budget lol I'm a sad case, huh?
