[QUOTE="Star*, post: 94439, member: 4964"] I went through this with a few in home workers - and ya know WHAT? I called their bosses and said "It's xx xx o'clock, can you tell me why I didn't get a phone call canceling our appointment?" This does 2 things - 1.) It lets the person know that THIS particular worker may be a potential problem. ie: getting calls from other parents about canceled appts. 2.) It lets the worker know you aren't going to be available for his lame emails. When you do meet this person I HIGHLY suggest that you set up the RULES with him just like you do your kids. And if he/she can't comply DON'T give in - it wouldn't work out in the long run. I appreciate the fact that someone would want to come and take time with my son but here are a few facts: 1.) most do NOT have to pass anything other than a LOCAL back ground check. Not State or federal 2.) MOST are doing it for the money and they are getting paid by a grant mostly and are paid for their time, travel, and paperwork. They aren't doing it because they love the job. 3.) Some of them that I have met are worse than my difficult child and amazingly in your face about what THEY can do for your kid in a matter of days (BOLOGNA). 4.) Not everyone is a match - I said the last person they sent out #4 - was some jive talking 70's Huggy Bear wanna be with his shirt unbuttoned down to his navel, striped pants and shoes to match. Fine - I thought he was going for shock and awe with the kid until he started talking. OH MY GOSH - I (being blunt) told him that the only "script" he was gonna "flip" was his paperwork to work with my son. They tried one more person after than and well - difficult child thought he was great we liked him too (didn't matter) but then he had problems being the baby daddy and his girlz new boyfriend and took difficult child to the bad end of town to sort out his business - when he got back with difficult child we weren't home and he lied about what time he dropped him off. I called his boss, told them and he was fired for "other" reasons. So just be picky - and make sure it matches. I can still see that man walking up to our front door in those striped pants, I swear to you he looked like Little Richard - and his greeting to me "Hey Moms whas happening? I'm here to flip the script with yo' little man." DF said he would give $50.00 to have a picture of my face right then. Hang tough - Star [/QUOTE]
