Daycare Center and Family Home Forum>"Grandmom" Approached Me This Morning
laundrymom 12:28 PM 07-21-2016
Actually confronted me about my not training her grand daughter to potty.
Actually said the words
"
I told [i]moms name [u]that you needed [u]
To have her trained this week. Why can't you do your job?"

So did anyone hear the thundering echoing boom when my jaw hit the floor???
I said.
I guess she knows better than to say that to me.
And I shut the door in her face.just about DIED of shock. Then laughter.
I think she may have heard me through the door. Lol

Good for you! I'd totally term grandma. I'd tell mom that the child is welcome as long as grandma doesn't set foot on your property again, otherwise, adios. This is the grandma that has physical but not legal custody, correct?

I would have had to say "well maybe you should keep kiddo this week so YOU can train her". Sigh.

Wow! I admire your restraint! I'd have loved to have seen the expression on her face as the door closed on it.

Seems Grandma's are kind of opinionated and bold.
I've read a few other vents about "attack granny's" lately... lol!

Will you share with DCM/DCD?
If so, how do you think they'll react?

No potty interest. Not even when wet or soiled.
Just doesn't care.
And nope. I will if they bring it up but grand moms behavior is on grand mom. She is hopefully
Ashamed.

I would have told Grandma off. *I* don't potty train, but I will ASSIST IF child is ready. Oh heck no!

Then I would tell the parents that you don't appreciate Grandma getting in your face. It isn't the provider's job to potty train their child for them, and IF the parent has an issue THEY will come to you but I would NOT be dealing with grandmom again.

I have a love/hate with involved grandparents. I have had two grandparents banned from my home and a couple that I wish had custody.

Makes you wonder if that (issues like this) is why we seem to be seeing more estrangements with this group of grandparents. The whole "Silent Epidemic" agenda?

Hahaha!! Good. I would have been spitting nails if someone had talked to me like that.
Yep, dcprovider home with kids anyways, nothing else in the world to do between eating chocolate and watching soaps all day, dck should've been trained long before now according to grandma(because as we all know kids were always trained by 12 months of age)so grandma assumes dck would magically be potty trained.
Maybe they can do it this weekend. How old is dcg and why on earth did grandma expect this week was going to be THE week this all happens at dc?

I think so. Grandma, in this case, seems pissed that dck is not trained yet. She should address this with her child (dcm) if it bugs her that much. It almost seems like grandparents know that daycare providers are the ones raising these kids, so they take it up with you versus schooling their own kid. Very misdirected!

Three. And because FREE PRESCHOOL/daycare starts next Thursday if she's trained. They won't accept them in diapers.
And I have new kids starting so no room here.

Aha....well they best get on it then!! What were they doing for the past year?
Sounds like gma panicked but mom came through with a solution so all is good.

Grandma is probably panicking because she's going to be the one providing care if little one isn't trained.
