I can't understand people sometimes. Why do they feel they have to make other people's lives miserable to make themselves feel better? I arrived home last night to find my wife in tears after yet another confrontation with the lady that provides before and after-school care for the children. The woman had spoke to her a few days earlier, accusing our daughter of french-kissing boys at the school. She hadn't seen it herself, and wouldn't provide any evidence that this had happened, nor would she say who it was (although my wife could hazard a guess) that had made this claim. Micky denies that she did anything, and we believe her.

So to investigate, we spoke with her teacher at school who said she would check into it. She contacted me yesterday to say that she'd found the persons responsible and they had been starting false rumors. She was going to punish these boys. My wife spoke with the care lady again just to let her know what had happened, and this woman continued attacking her about Micky kissing boys. She went on an on about it, and basically implied that were not raising our children properly. She also suggested that she would kick our children out of care if she wasn't satisfied that we had punished Micky for her alleged wrong-doing.

She didn't do anything!! What the hell is wrong with some people. I think this woman has an agenda. She has always been rude to us, and I figure she either has an issue that we're Kiwis, or perhaps we're not rich/good enough for her clicky little group at the school. Unfortunately, if she kicks the kids out then Rob might have to quit her job, which is financially going to burden us. All because a rude, small-minded woman can't admit she was wrong and let it go. Not to mention the effect her attitude has on the children. I've never once arrived at care and seen Micky misbehaving - usually she's looking after the small children. Everybody is upset and stressed because of this person. If she can't cope with children and show love and understanding, then she's in the wrong job!
