So I know I've beat this thread to death, but I need to vent...

As you know from the above posts, I'm having a rough go with my new girl. I know it's nothing new, just new for me. It's like having a colicky inconsolable baby - with 4 additional kids running around. Our crafts have been crappy this week, circle time is rushed to get everything done during her nap, and the older ones have been on their own doing independent play a lot more while I try to console this kid. Again nothing new, just to recap.

I got an email from dcm tonight... Complaining because she was hungry when she got home - cried all lunch and refused to eat, even when I went off my menu for one of their favs.

AND asking why I haven't done any crafts or messy play with her? DCM is well aware that she's having trouble transitioning, I've been upfront with them about everything. I almost wanted to write back "the answer to all of your questions are 'because she wouldn't stop crying.'"

I'm so mad! It's been a lot of work and I feel like I've been doing all I can, and I get sh*t on because their 1 year old isn't crafting?

Ughhhh. End rant. Now on to that wine we talked about earlier...
