[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're right, OP. Firing you via text message probably wasn't the best mode to go about letting you go. Getting fired stings. But hey - you weren't a good match for her and she probably saved you both a lot of agony in the long run because now you can find a position that's better suited for you.

Maybe she didn't like the constant reminders about her daughter. Who knows. And it's silly to expect everybody to adhere to your code of conduct. But the reality is that she has moved on, so why don't you? Or do you want to stamp your feet and shake your fists about it a bit more on DCUM? Perhaps it would be prudent to spend your time looking for a new job.[/quote]

OP here: Stamp my feet and shake my fists? Really? Please move on if you have nothing helpful to say. This just happened at 11am today....I will be looking for a new job but please don't talk out of your ass.[/quote]

Also, if you had actually read what I wrote prior, you would have seen that I said that SHE was the one who asked about her daughter EVERY DAY when she met me to relieve me. I did not bring it up on my own everyday. She was the one who wanted to know what had happened that day with her. [/quote]

Not the PP.......

[b]OP, I think when the mother asked about any "issues" she wasn't talking about typical 11-year-old issues. I mean, did you really need to tell MB that she snuck a snack? I'm sure you handled it. She hired you to handle typical antics. When she asked if there was any issues she was probably talking about siblings physically fighting, hitting you, etc. Not a rundown on every little thing her daughter did[/b]. That's a headace.

That aside, you did the right thing. You contacted her right away when you seen the ad. When you weren't satisfied with her response you let her (politely) know. Getting your feelings out is good and sometimes people just aren't matches. It has less to do with you as a person. She's still saying nice things to you which makes me think that she just doesn't think you mesh well with her families personality.[/quote]

OP here: she did want to know all of these things. She was having issues in school with listening and lying about her work to the teacher so the mom wanted to know about this every day. She wasn't asking about sibling fights, etc. As for the snack thing, the family was VERY stern about snacks and the kids had a list of snacks they were allowed to eat so when everyday she was trying to hide food in her clothes, that was an issue.
