[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 598569, member: 4264"] Perhaps she may be "slightly" less offended by you stating it is affecting your JOB. Explain firmly that this is not about how you feel about her involvement with your daughters education. You are thankful that she cares. HOWEVER, you are employed at this school and this position is what puts food on the table, roof over your head, medical benefits etc. Tell her that its not okay EVER from here on out to contact anybody at the school, nor can she call you at work or show up there, it is your EMPLOYER. Also tell her that you will not be texting during work hours as you want to mollify your employer and ensure they have no excuse to let you go. Put it all on the fact that this is your work, not at all about her "meddling". She won't like it either way you dish out the clear line in the sand. It will probably sit better (better being relative) to use the employer story. She is obviously so far over stepping that I'd claw my eyes out if I was in your shoes. She likely means very well, but having worked in education herself she should darn well understand that this type of thing from a non custodial relative is more than just an annoyance to employees at the school. She should also understand professionalism in the work place, no personal calls or texts or visits unless serious emergency. I'd go the lack of professionalism in the work place route and fear for your position. I would make it clear, it's not negotiable. [/QUOTE]
