I quit today!


boyohboyohboy wrote: just the babysitting job .. I had tried to stick it out because the kids really dont have anywhere else to go and it was mainly out of guilt..but this morning the dad brought the kids here all sugared up on oreo cookies for breakfast, and the kids were nuts, and the 5 yr old boy who has issues anyway, headbutted my baby out of anger and he fell back and hit his head on the chair..
I called the dad and said thats it. I am done today.
I am so relieved to be done..I cant stand it anymore.
dh seems unsure and is worried about the money loss, but I for one just want it to be done.
they have put our family thru so much.
so I am happy to report I am starting a new job today and also ending that horrible one..
thanks for bearing with me

CantWait replied: horray.gif horray.gif horray.gif IT'S ABOUT TIME. If the dad won't help with his children, you owe him NOTHING!!!!!!!!

The money loss will only be VERY temporary. Maybe try and cut back on some spending this month if it's possible.

MommyToAshley replied: Good for you!

Your husband doesn't realize that you are actually doing him a favor ... he probably would have changed his mind after just one day.

I was at that point once to when Jennie had the daycare when a kid left but we got through it and she was much happier because of it.

If you dread seeing a child everyday and they are causing a lot of stress then it isn't worth it

He needs to understand that you are the one watching them and it is for the sake of your sanity.

A&A'smommy replied: hug.gif hug.gif hug.gif They truly are terrible parents growl.gif but I definitely think you did the right thing!!!

luvmykids replied: I know you really, really, really wanted to help those kids but honestly they were just too much, especially since their parents don't seem to care. It's so sad but when it takes the toll it's taken on you guys, it's time to let it go and I think you'll all feel soooo much better hug.gif hug.gif hug.gif

Stacy...I am SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!! I give you a lot of credit for sticking it out this far. You should be proud of everything you did for that family, regardless if they realize everything you did or not. Good riddance to them! I feel bad for the kids, but seriously...you can only take so much. Take a deep breath...and tomorrow when you wake up and realize you don't have to see them anymore, you will feel like a whole new person!!! hug.gif

ETA: when your DH talks about being worried about money...just remind him that God provides. wink.gif He always has for us! hug.gif

One less thing for you to stress about taking on your new job hug.gif hug.gif hug.gif

youngmomofone replied: WOnderful!! Glad that you don't have to deal with those kids anymore!

boyohboyohboy replied: I had a great day at work, at least I didnt break down and cry, or call and check at the house!
when the dad came to pick up his kids, he didnt say one word to us! He never apologized for his son's behavior or asked if andrew was ok.
he totally doesnt care.
I cant tell you what a relief it was to just pack up all their stuff and see them off.
its done, and I dont have to see them again.

Calimama replied: Yay honestly, I'm thrilled for you! hug.gif hug.gif

Boo&BugsMom replied:
I bet you feel so happy right now!!! hug.gif I can't believe the dad never said anything!!! ohmy.gif ohmy.gif ohmy.gif On the other hand, I guess I can believe it. rolleyes.gif After everything we've heard thus far...geesh. mad.gif Just think...you will NEVER, EVER, have to deal with them again. thumb.gif A peace of mind and a safe home is worth way more than some cash every week. smile.gif
