Thanks CB... but I've just been having some contact lately, "trying to be friends", but even in friendship it seems like I am the one doing all the work. I am just getting worn down being the fall back, the guy to bail her out, come to the rescue, offer her some stability...... it's no secret that I care about her, hating her would be so much easier.... thanks for the hug

I am so pissed atm............ My daughter is being so careless with her things. Today's loss of her new towel brings the grand total to: 2 towels, 1 bathing suit, 2 water guns, her YMCA bag and a pair of goggles. Besides not letting her swim (which is bad only because I want her to learn to swim) I don't know what else to do. I talked to the lady and she said in one breath that she is too young to be expected to remember those things, and when I pointed out this was the second loss and her teacher should then be helping her remember that she said well she is awfully busy.......... Yeah okay then wtf do I pay for if you aren't going to supervise my child??

Okay so I pay all that money for 20 mins of swimming? That isn't the point. I know what they do for the kids and how much the kids love it and such but what I dont' understand is how can you have a group of 5 year olds in one small spot and not notice if they leave thier stuff? Unless you are too busy chatting with your fellow staffers..................... btw it is an all day summer day camp we are talkin about here. Sorry I forgot to mention

ah, i thought you were talking about swimming classes. sorry. i get a little defensive when i hear what might be teacher bashing. (not saying you were doing it -- just people in general are FAR too quick to expect teachers to be babysitters and guardians in addition to doing their job.)
have you tried writing her name in large block letters in permanent ink on all of her belongings? that ought to at least help her items be recovered when she does lose them. it is amazing what children are capable of losing.

lol, no problem Jules. Actually, I've had to fight to get places to tell me the problems they are having (if any with my kids)......my son's first daycare for example, and finally she said, "we don't know what to do with parents like you. Most of them come in making excuses and mad because their kid got in trouble and here you are saying how can I back you up if I don't know". The bag she lost has her name on it, and Im hoping that it gets back to her. She was pissed as all get out when she went today with nothing and wasn't going to be able to swim I did find out her regular teacher wasn't there Friday or yesterday and she promised to do what she could to look for it. I know that she will, she is awesome!! The little teeny bopper there yesterday acted all huffy when she had to help look for the stuff.

LOL, yeah probably the best way to handle it. I have such a tenuous grip on my health lately, I can't even seem to have an ounce of patience with anything. *SIGH*

I finished my work in 1 hour. I can't connect to the server at the other building. They won't put any money into this god forsaken old cesspool of a building so it has no updated software so I cannot work on my blog.
MSN does not work and now YIM stopped working. I give up! I am going to read!

I wish I didn't feel as if your intentions were something other than what I want them to be. I'll never know b/c I'll never ask.
