If she agrees to take a class together and it helps then you might be able to stay. Yay!

If she takes the class together but nothing changes (or refuses to consider taking a class together) you can say you gave it your best try and move on guilt-free.

Which class would you recommend?


Pep, positive discipline, love and logic: at this point, almost anything would be better than what she is doing!!!

Personally, I just can't standby and watch a selfish parent ruining her child. My hard work would be completely wasted. Get a new job where your work is valued.

If mom is around a lot, and you don't like being there, look for another job.

You're not going to change anything in this family. Your choices are to stay and minimize the time around mom as much as possible, or go.

My MB is a truly lovely as well as accomplished woman. But she had a terrible, unstable and poverty-ridden childhood. She is lenient to a fault with her DD because her mother was so unduly strict with her. My MB was hungry as a child and never denies my charge anything - even asking her to wait for a moment. She will give her Goldfish crackers, for example, while her healthful meal is warming. MB drags out the good-bye until my charge is hysterical.

I don’t know what to do and am tired of always being the bad guy. This has been going on since her child was born (now 3). My charge is great with me and I have no complaints but so whiny and clingy when her mother is around.

WWYD?
