[quote=Anonymous]As a very longtime HM (11 years), these are major red flags.  The no helmet thing after a few days of arrival, coming from a country that doesn't do helmets like we do?  A cultural mistake that an explanation and modeling can address.  No helmet after THREE MONTHS of training?  No, no, and no again.  Dropping off your child to OT on the first time without you having outlined your expectations and modeled them for her?  An innocent mistake that can be explained.  Her dropping your child at OT after months of someone going with her, showing her what to do, talking to her about her role in the appointment, and addressing with her why you picked her?  Seems flagrant to me.

She was crying because the costco card got taken and she was embarrassed about it, or because she knew she screwed up?  Either way, I would have a sit down with the LCC  and spell out that this is a huge reset, and she needs to be ON HER GAME or else she isn't the right AP for you.

You're (and she is) lucky your son wasn't more seriously hurt, riding a scooter without a helmet! [/quote]
