To make matters worse, dcd let his kids run wild all over our yard and did not keep an eye on them ONCE. So, that left me watching them and making sure they weren't going to get hurt.
It wasn't until my husband asked me if I was ready to go to town (excuse to get dcd to leave) that he got the hint.
Oh, and I had to round up his kids because he was just yelling at them to get in the car, but of course they didn't listen.
Do parents really think that we don't have anything else to do once their child goes home?? Our days don't end at the last pick-up!
I have a parent like this. Checks his child bookbag and home folder. Then checks both his hands to see if he for his stamps. Then makes him say good bye to every child by name and wants all the kids to respond, individually. It’s insane. I’ve said bye a thousand times, ignored, called the kids over to me to act like we’re about to do a lesson. He just doesn’t get it. Please go.
