[quote=Anonymous]Today is not a particularly challenging day for me (so far), but as the op, I thought I’d just get the ball rolling.

To procrastinate nap time, my charge likes to hang out in his mom’s office and play on her work computer (yes she works from home, yes it sucks!) for a while. So, one day, he was particularly ornery. He was begging to do this and that on her computer and she was letting him do whatever. I got completely ignored whenever I mentioned that we should get started on nap time. I was extremely frustrated.

When we finally got him into his room, he held onto her neck and told her he wasn’t letting her go ever. She indulged him for an additional five minutes, just laughing and allowing him to hang on her, until it was 15 minutes past the time he needed to be laying down. I was fuming. Then, since she helped screw up his timeline, he didn’t fall asleep. He had a very loud quiet time in which he yelled and begged me to come up there every few minutes. It was great.

After his hour of “quiet” time was up, he was straight back to her office to do more stuff. This time, she attempted to tell him no and that she had stuff to do. He smacked her in the face and she picked him up and took him downstairs (where we usually play). He started crying and growing a huge fit while she failed to talk to him or do anything productive. And do you know what she did? She let him back upstairs to do the thing he was throwing a fit about doing.

Absolutely ridiculous. I thought my eyes were going to roll out of my head by that point. So yeah, that’s the most recent insane day that I had. [/quote]
