Rightly offended? . . . or just tired and pregnant?

[Lee-Bee]

problem is that I live in a apartment with one family room. the kids sleep in the bedrooms and there is essentially no where for me to go to rest. I'm not gonna lie . . .I NAP!

This child (god love her) would not leave me alone no matter what. she is my difficult kid. I've been playing with idea of letting them go for several behavioural issues but there is only a few months until she starts school and is gone.

I donno, I mean if I was the family and had someone caring for my child I would try to make that person happy. I get having to pick a child up for appointments that you can't control etc., but waiting an extra 30min to go to the cottage doesn't seem worth all this fussing. Pretty sure none of my families would be asking this and if they did they would understand and respect when I asked them to wait until the end of nap. You're working hard, you're pregnant (I assume they know) you aren't asking that much of them.

I don't think the issue is you with holding the child or you being inflexible. You are merely trying to withhold the expectations you set in your contract and asking the family to respect that. The big issue here is their behavior and their response to your enforcing the contract. That doesn't sit well with me. Like I said I would have tried to accommodate (but have the space and means to do so) BUT if I had said no, like you did then I fully expect them to act appropriately. These parents are not. That is a problem.
