help help help help pleaseee?

First off I think that taking time off to spend with a baby is not unreasonable. It is usually a YEAR here, but only for one parent although the time can be split and honestly I think 4 months is ridiculously little let alone 2... To clarify, that is not all paid it is just what you are legally allowed to take and be guaranteed your job back. It is also not "the good life". You work with babies. How do you not realize it is exhausting for new mothers being woken up all the time and feeding every few hours?... Sure that time is precious, but it is also tiring and work which is why you get paid to take care of babies in the first place.

That said, you have a couple of really good points. She should have given work more notice and they should have given you notice if she was to work with you or take over a class from you. She should not get her schedule her way just because she wants it that way. Especially if it means a bunch of kids who get attached easily and have started responding to your particular brand of teaching and discipline have a different caretaker. If there are logistic problems of getting her baby to daycare or something then she should be sorting that out with her husband and your boss and possibly discussing it some with you out of courtesy, but that is her choice.

Mmk well I agree with you. This lady has been gone for 4 months and comes back just to take charge? Oh heck no! I can understand why she was out because she was having a baby but you worked very hard while she was gone and I think you earned the right to those hours. Either way its still the same amount of time that yall work. And besides she should be grateful that they even let her come back after being out for 4 months *jeez*.

"so she was gone for four months and i have been in the class busting my *** working while she was in her home country chilling and living the good life.."

Enjoying the good life you say ? You obviously have no children of your own. You obviously have not gone four months getting two hours of sleep at night, and broken sleep throughout the day. Othewise, you would not say that. I don't fault you other than you speak form non parenting ignorance. It is much easier to watch someone elses kid for eighthours than your own for 24/7. That being said, there is a little thing called, FMLA, Family Medical Leave Act, which guarantees that Mom comes back to her job without being penilized for taking leave.

Grow up and get over yourself.

first of all

have you talked to her?

from what youve said i agree completely

but you mustnt just go make descicions for her, without knowing the full truth

yes it may be simly that she is a lazy cow but it also might be that she had trouble with the pregnancy, or had other personal problems, or she might have been in trouble.

yu dont say how close you are to this women?

that also might mean alot

if you werent close then she wouldnt tell you anyway

but yes i do agree that she shouldve at least called to tell you the arrangements

just make sure you talk with her at least

and make her understand yoru point of view

but on the whole i agree with you

hope thishelps

u should stop being a ***** about it, seriously its not like shes gonna handle 20 5 year olds when she can barely bend her back... its not like she totally ditched her job handed u the dirty work for no reason, and it shouldnt matter since ur getting the same pay and the schedule is only an hour dif.

If they're moldy, it's unsanitary to use them on your body. If they're cotton balls, just throw them outside. I'm sure that a lot of wild animals would appreciate them as nesting material. If they're Q-tips, just put them straight into the trash. In the future, store your swabs in a dry place. I'm guessing that humidity got into your old swabs, which allowed the mold to grow. I hope I helped!

A i dont get this is it a answer or a story ??????? but i guess is those agreeing thingy soo i guess i agree with you is true i .....think but i think the reason why she took 4 months is because she pregnant it turn them beyond normal o_o but i still dont know what the question here?

I definitely see your point, and it seems like bullshit. But you have to remember that in many countries, people get at least 4 months paid maternal leave, so she probably thought it would be ok in the U.S.

im gonna say i hav to agree with you. the children are used to u and may not adjust well to the lady coming bak if she hasnt been with those kids b4. i think u should keep the time but i mean it was her time first. consider letting her hav it i guess...idk. i think it would b best if u kept the shift

thats pretty hard because shes been in maternity for a while so she might not be as open minded about thing but i do see you point...

i think she should be more open minded and let thing happen and not complain about her old schedule
