Preschool Problems

We have class pictures today and guess what....Jenna gets gum in her hair last night!! I could have died. Luckily I have the Internet which gives me so many ideas. You can just google "how to get gum out of hair" and get so many answers. I used peanut butter and that did ok, but when I used cooking oil, it came right out. Thankfully I didn't have to cut it. I remember one time right before my class pictures, I cut one side of my hair!!!
Yesterday, I had to talk to a mom. I knew Melody was tired of talking to her, so I stepped in. I have this child who is so DIFFICULT to work with. Probably one of the worst I have had. I told mom how disrespectful this child was. She talked back to both of us all day and pushed us. I told mom and she said "oh, I know, she was like that all week at home...in fact, it got so bad my husband had to leave to get a break from it"......can you believe this woman? then she looks at me and says "we got a puppy this weekend, do you think this has anything to do with it". At this point I'm staring blankly and wanting to say so badly "lady, get a clue already". I told her the dog had nothing to do with it. The child is getting worse, and on top of it all, I think there is something "not right" with the child. Obviously mom and dad are not going to do anything about it, and I still have two months of school to go!! I'm praying hard that I don't get her back next year. That's ugly, I know, but I don't think I can handle her another year. The sad part is that it's really not her fault. It's the parents fault for not disciplining their child. It's very obvious because we will tell her not to do something and she'll gradually do it again, looking at us the entire time, thinking we won't follow through! Surprise!! Melody and I both follow through with what we say! This is why T/Th are so hard on me this year!!!
