''Discipline'' the child when parents are there ?

[DisneyPrincess]

You know the worst part is that I was going to stay open later for her alone for the next 2 MONTHS since dad is in the Army (with extra cost of course) but when they signed up it was suppose to be 1 week outta 3 months typa-thing and last sumer it was also a month and a half... and I let it go. Putting up with that little girl's attitude outside my work hours... seriously !!

Plus the mother always has a harder time with her then dad does. She always comes here overwhelmed especially when dad is aways and she must deal with her daughter on her own : YOU WOULD THINK SHE WOULD OF ACCEPTED THE EXTRA HELP AND SUPPORT.

This morning she wanted a kiss before leaving and the daughter says : NO !!! How rude is that you accept to start your day with your child rejecting you :O Even if the child is mad for you going to work, thats no reason.

She made excuses that its before at 3 she doesnt know what is going on, she's expressing herself cause doesnt know how else, she's upset she cant stay home with mom ...... HUM I'VE HAD OTHER 3 y.o. and they were not THAT angry inside !!

In this thread there is a argument with parent feeling guilty or more lazy : I THINK ITS BOTH !

Well good luck to her, she will quickly find out that there is NO daycare spaces available anywhere but quite a drive from here !!

It was though approach for a friday morning, I shouldnt have brought it up and waited next week I guess, oh too late now. I will do a fresh start with new comers of course, this is sure a learning experience, just so chitty it affects our fincances, unless by chance I get phone calls A.S.A.P. !!
