How do you handle this? (Once again, really long)

Oh good grief, another micromanager Mom, which of course means she doesn't trust anybody with her child or think that anyone will do as good a job as she can. So why doesn't she stay home and care for her own child? I'm getting tired of these Moms. It is your business, your rules, your activities, your fun with the children and so very, very much WORK! Parents who don't appreciate how hard it is to keep 5 children in routines, patterns, learning, playing, all the things we do with them to teach them and have fun with them really don't get our job.

The parents I accept in my daycare know that we have fun and that means getting dirty. I forget bibs half the time because I'm so busy. We play in mud and with playdo and finger paints and being messy with food is fun. My daycare is F.U.N.! Thankfully, I've never had a parent complain about messes and I remind them every autumn that when they buy winter items they should be dark coloured because sometimes there is mud under the snow. I would not put up with this kind of attitude from a parent.

Dont feel bad about the freak control of keeping the kid clean, I think most of us have been there a time or two! I hada crazy Mom who was just like that, wouldnt have known that when I first met her though! I came to the conclusion thats how she "got" her nice, softspoken husband also...disception!!! (sp) After having her son with me for a while, she started turning "freak" (things didnt end well) ! she would say crazy stuff like, please keep ALL his "out fits" together, one day I changed his pants because they got dirty at lunch but didnt bother changing the shirt because it was clean, well, ...she keeps ALL "outfits" matching and doesnt mix them!! la tee da!! what a freak! she also brought me inside shoes, "these are hush puppies, his grampa bought them for like 50$ they are really expensive, please dont have him wear these outside" she bought a pair of sh**! shoes! at walmart for his to walk outside in, and provided me with oxiclean spray to spray and scrup the hush puppies if I forgot and brought those ones out. She also NEVER let me keep anything, even though it IS my contract to keep a cubby with extra clothes, diapers and wipes. CONTROL FREAK!!! She is the Mom who insisted his wipes couldnt be communal like all the other kids because his wipes are "special" she traveled 4 hours south to buy them. She asked me not to put any salt or butter on ANY of his food because SHE retains salt and "he may also". FREAK! the kicker was when SHE decided to pay monthly instead of every two weeks (because it worked better for her!) and when her month pay was due she became about 4 days delinquent so I called her with a notice and a 25$ late fee, she SCREAMED at me, swore at me in my home and said "I thought we were friends" I said, "no, we are not, this is a business relationship!" she told me she would take her kid somewhere else.....I said, WEW! O.K.! not gonna argue there, what a relief, love it when the asses decide to go on their own, so much easier for me. I have NEVER bent over so far to please a parent before, sometimes a psycho is a psycho is a psycho is a psycho! and theres nothing you can do about it, cut your loses with this one, and soon.!!!!!!!!! by the way two years later and I find out from other daycare parents (who work with her) she is STILL trying to get them to leave my care!!!!!!!! crazy FREAK!
