Advice with how to move forward.
So I have a difficult parents that really gets on my nerves at times. thinks we sit on our butts all days that that i shouldnt get a break while they nap.
Anyways, yesterday she drops dkc off, hands me heir bag and off she goes.
12:30 just as lunch is wrapping up I get a text " Just wanted to let you know that there is a craft set I thought you might enjoy doing".
Said ok, but nap time in in a few minutes so we would have to wait until tomorrow ( today) to do it. After getting the kids into bed, I go and get out said craft. I'm like wholly crap it's one of these 300 peice gingerbread sets which have to be hot glued into place.
So I go to text mom that this might be a bit difficult to do here because 1 it is a solo set so only one child could take it home, and 2 it is labeled as being age appropriate for a 8 year old. Her child is 2, and can barely hold a fricking spoon.
Here back from mom " Oh, I understand its for an older child my though was that you could do it during nap so dck can bring it to grandparents house since I don't have time for arts and crafts. Please make sure its in a shoe box so it wont get ruined on the drive over."
At that point I was just like no, I'm not going to sit and take an hour or more of my day to do a craft that if you want done with your child, take the time to do it with your child.
More showed up 10 minutes late, granted it was a snow day here, and was like so how did the craft go. I handed her the bag, with kit unopened, and said as nicely as I could, "I appreciate the though, and I would love to spend the afternoon crafting( which is true), and asked if she would like to provide a cooking and cleaning service to come to free up my time?'
She just game me a huff and said something about how disappointed the grandparents are going to be.
Child is off on holidays for the rest of the week, so I wont see thttp://www.daycarebear.ca/forum/images/smilies/RpS/RpS_wink.gifhem until Monday. Would you address it further?
