Topic: Do you think I am unreasonable? Posted: 25 February 2009 at 8:19pm |
I am usually one of the people that stay behind at Playcentre making sure everything has been cleaned up ect. I spent most of my time in centre sorting stuff out for others, helping where I can and sometimes not even spending time with my own child or other kids.
I did tell people after getting pregnant that I need to take it easy. Some members have been telling me last year that I need to delegate, that I sometimes need to learn to say no. So have been doing it. So the other bunch (lets call them the lazy ones, yes I am mad), started telling me they feel I am picking on them.
Stuff like showing visitors around. Asking someone else to do it, (this now after me being their early to set up before anyone else so I can help with the visitors so I can sit down with my own girl).
Now today I just had enough. We decided it is the mothershelp job to stay behind and make sure everything has been done. That way it is a shared load. Usually I still stay behind and help if I have the time but I am limited to certain things. I refuse to do toilets while pregnant as the janola makes me puke. But still do more than most moms.
Today this one person who's job it was to stay behind (which only has one child that is 4 months younger than my own) that mostly leave before finishing one job. Comes late so dont really set-up. One of the ones telling me I am picking on her by trying to encourage her to join in a bit more comes right in evaluation telling people they need to hurry up now as she wants to go home now and it is getting late. So someone else asked her has everything been done.
I told her I am going now. Had to go to the dr's. Cleaned 4 areas already and not my job to lock up. Her looking funnily at me telling me so she needs to finish off by herself. (I almost laughed. How many times have I been there with someone else until like 1 as people just left not having done anything). Told her yes. So she told me she doesnt have any keys. Told her she can borrow mine but I need her to drop it off again as I have some painters that want to come in on Saturday to do a quote.
Then she tells me she doesnt think she can drop it off. Just looked at her telling her I need her too. I dont have the time this week.
Had to show her how to lock up ect. Now I need those keys. She told me she will give them to me on Wednesday and I told her I need it earlier. I know she is not going to drop it off.
Grant told me he will call her telling her she needs to drop it off. I hurt my foot badly right after this whole thing and have trouble walking on it. But I know she is just going to throw a hissy fit. So guess I will have to go pick it up.
But have I really been unreasonable here asking her to drop it off?

God, can you vote her off the island? What is the point of doing Playcentre if you're not going to pitch in? I would have a meeting (or bring up at the next meeting) and make sure that everyone knows that they have a responsibility to the centre and the kids to help the co-op running smoothly. That includes packing up and returning the keys. Can you get another set cut?
Bummer about your foot!

nope not at all. She should drop them off.
don't pick them up she can take responsibility and drop them at your house
or find out the time to be there and open up for the painters herself and you can meet her there.
Or can you borrow some one elses keys? saying this person hasn't returned mine.
Sometimes you need to let the problem go and she needs to own it.
Good luck

Well just called her and asked her when she is dropping off and she was like can bring it on Wednesday so told her I need it as we have people coming in doing quotes ect.
She then said okay so I can drop it off at Playcentre and I am like yes if you tell me when as that wont be really safe leaving it there. So told her it is better if she does it at my home. She didnt sound very happy at all. Aaah well.
