    A Bitter Parent...

    I posted lengthily in the past about my horrible family that I finally terminated, and how happy we've all been since they've been gone.

    The mom ended up starting a smear campaign against my daycare, and successfully mass distributed an email telling lies about me and my services. It was awful and I was very distressed and embarrassed.

    In the end, I received dozens of emails and Facebook messages, most from complete strangers, supporting me and assuring me that she comes across as bitter and kinda crazy, and I actually have TWO interviews for my last spot because of her publicity.

    HA! Nice try, bitter mom.

    That is all...

    That is awful... I'm sorry you have to go through this. But as people have showed you with their support loose nuts give themselves up easily...

    Awesome! All publicity is good publicity right? Great job handling yourself with dignity and respect.

    Haha!! Thanks ladies. How funny would it be if I sent her a thank you note? That's a fabulous idea. I won't do it, but man...would I love to.

    I drew up this huge document refuting all the lies she told about me in her document, but decided against posting anything anywhere. Damage was already done, and really, she's not worth my time.

    Sooo glad this story has a happy ending because that dcparent sounds nuts and could have done you a lot of damage if not for the great people who saw through her. You could sue her for pete sake!

    Wow, what a witch! Kudos to you for handling yourself with class in the face of such untrue slanderous nonsense like that. I'm also glad the story has a happy ending, and that even strangers could see through her bitterness and lies. I think this Mom's energies would be much better spent working on the issues of her violent kid! Denial and transferring blame where it does not belong isn't gonna get her very far.

    OMG, I would totally send a very polite thank you note! Worth your time or not worth your time, you know it would eat her alive knowing her smear campaign actually helped you get clients and made her look nuts in the process. Fortunately, Crow and Humble Pie go very well together....she's got a lot of both to eat

    Glad it worked out in your favour!

    Keep your head held high and don't stoop to her level, you are way too classy for that! Good to hear her true colours showed.
