Moms- I am at wits end over my boss! What would you do?

Question

First off, I know this is the wrong section, but I have a lot of contacts here.
I got a job as a teacher in a parochial school and it is a program where you teach and get your masters in education at the same time.  Classes for this start in June and are 8-5 every day, M-F.  My current boss know I have been trying and applying to this program since October.  A "snitch" in the office informed her that I got this job and my boss texted me, "so I heard you got a new f-in job- when do you start?" and being mad I had not told her.  This was on a Tuesday, I had just found out on a Thursday and it would have been the first time I had seen her.  I wanted to talk to her when I actually had more details of the program but since then she has "forgotten" to tell me when my clients call off, and has continued to blame me for things that were not communicated to me.

Should I quit?  I was planning on leaving in mid-May anyways for the program, my husband does well, but it would be until August until I get paid again.  I just dont know how much more abuse I can take but I do love the clients (work in SW agency)

What would you do?  BQ: Have you ever had an unreasonable boss- what did you do?

Hey, I did the same program in cali - Masters with credential!  Congratulations and good luck. 

I would rise above her behavior.  You are leaving anyway.  Try to be kind, do yoru best and remain loyal and reliable and mature.  If you can quit then do so but if you ned the job andlove yoru clients then she is not worth letting all that go.  

hang in there and know she is taking other issues out on you - there is a real problem she is not addressing.  You are her target and she may be envious.  Who knows?

Report it as abuse to a higher superior.  If you have a text message that is cursing at you or could be viewed as inappropriate for the work place, it is harassment.  You have the right to work in a harassment free environment, so either the company does something about it or you can sue them.  

And if you really don't want to go that route, your boss could be trying to get you fired.  If it were me and my husband and I could survive until I got paid again, I would simply quit.

A text message from your boss with cursing in it is inexcusable. Go over her head and report her for that. Do you have anything in your employee handbook requiring you to give more than 2 weeks' notice? If you don't, there's not reason for you to tell her yet anyways.
