my sweet baby girl is a jerkface

[Deleted]

i went to the lunch. as expected, she had a giant meltdown when it was time for me to leave. louder than all the other kids.

so i'm soothing her and promising her that after her nap i'll be getting back (biding time until the teachers were freed up from soothing the other freaked out kids to take her on).

finally, she just gets fed up with me and says, through tears and with intense scorn, "just go to work, YOU."

she then turned her face away from me.

[jaylea]

Yeeeeah.

That sucks when they do that.

Sorry man. I am sure she's back to having fun by now though.

[leon]

Sorry but this made me LOL

[coffeeismyfrienemy]

Whoa. Sounds like she's had enough of YOU

[mrsjuleshs]

They learn the guilt trip mighty young don't they?

[angelaa73]

Omg I would have burst into tears. I'm serious

[lemondrop]

I think it was odd for the lunch to be scheduled then. They should have done afternoon tea or something.

[hubes]

I love her.

She's going to get her lawyer voice young, that one.

[Deleted]

it's kind of funny now, but in the moment i was all mouth-agape. ha.

she's become a guilt tripping master. she also cried "don't LEAVE me mommy, please!"

[Kit]

I shouldn't be laughing but that was kinda cute.

[Mrs.Beagle]

I'm laughing, but I also don't have kids. And I'm an asshole.

I'm sure she has completely forgotten about it. After you walked out the door, she was all "I want Mommy! Look, a toy! Playtime! What was I sad about again?"

THANK YOU.

not to mention that several of the parents can't get away midday, but might be able to knock off an hour early on a friday.

dude

DUDE

i would have died.

you know she is going to make it up to you by being incredibly sweet this evening. they are bi polar like that.

[Vally]

heh, nice usage of the thumbs down icon

[manders]

Don't worry! My son use to do that to me all the time. I remember leaving DC and starting to cry worse then him (well, not really). Now he is 8 and usually he can't wait to get rid of me. He occasionally asks me to leave lol.

thank you. it expressed my sentiments.

man, this is rough stuff. i'm sure she's okay now and probably sleeping. but i wanted to die a little.

[peachykate]

Aw, I can just imagine her face as she is saying this to you.

I just got back from jackson's mother's day luncheon and I knew it was a frigging mistake to go. We ate lunch and then I helped him get his nap time area ready and he freaked out. The teacher was all "oh he does this everyday." Really, since we took the binky away he screams like a wild banshee? Well, not to this extent. It wasn't pretty and now I am wondering if he should have the binky back at daycare since he is such a nutso at nap time.

I won't be going back again anytime soon during the day.

[imoan]

Just think that one day HER daughter will do the same thing to her. So you can just smirk and nod while she's losing her mind... knowing what's in store for her.

DD's preschool's thing was at 10:00 this morning. And almost all of the moms work. V. weird. There were a few dads and grandmas there, filling in for the moms who couldn't make it. And there was much drama when all the working moms had to leave. I don't know why they don't just do it at the end of the day so the kids can leave with the parents. Wouldn't that make the most sense??

I'm pretty sure you have the most hilarious child on ML. Either that or you're just a very gifted story teller. (Or both, I suppose!)

I'm sure she'll be elated to see you later, don't worry!

[hubes]

You all have convinced me that going to hug my little boy good bye this afternoon is a terrible idea. Thanks for that.

Hah! I just edited to say that. (And to add to my post b/c I felt like a jerk... I just think your L stories are so funny, b/c you know she doesn't really mean it!)

what helps is if you say goodbye, endure the guilt-driven meltdown and then hide somewhere right outside her classroom.

watch her go back to play seconds after she was falling to pieces in front of you. she'll be fine and laughing, munching on inedible objects and whatnot and then when she least expects it, launch yourself out of hiding and call her on that shit. she's not that sad!

i did it to brae all the time.

okay, maybe not. but i did used to hide and then grumble silently that he was an evil child for making me feel like such scum.

[nicksmom]

That is tough. They do learn to guilt us early don't they?
