Cancelled visits and transportation woes

Yet again the transportation was messed up for the girls for school yesterday. They were over an hour early making the girls an hour early for school. You just can't drop kids off and pick them up when you please! This is why I was soooo against this idea in the first place. Add to that you just can't expect a third party to be able to handle all of these changes.

Also, 43 minutes prior to a scheduled visit pick-up time the case aide texts me to change the visit. We can't do a morning, can we make it this afternoon? Well NO you can not continue to make changes last minute like this. It does not work this way. Visits are at scheduled times. If you are unable to continue to make that time... it is considered a missed visit on your part. This is not summer where we can change things last minute. Then she says well we have to have alternate plans for transportation for missed visits. Then don't miss visits. The reason for the changes are what? Work? You should have known your work schedule two weeks ago when you made this change! They have this expectation that they can change whenever they want, the problem is they have been able to get away with it for so long.

Today's issue triggers a major chain reaction though. For one thing, in order to save on gas my husband likes to take my car on days that I don't have anywhere to go. I can not transport all the way from my house to their school with his truck. If there is an emergency and I have to pick a sick kid up from school, then yeah I could take it... because it's one and not three. Of course I would be pissed, because it's half an hour away from here, and not 1 block over! But anyway, each change then effects every other thing for the day.

I am going to have to have a conversation with the case manager when she comes back. My two weeks notice will be placed at that time. Hopefully it will be that they will just go home after their court date the end of the month. But it won't happen like that and it will probably continue and continue. We just can not function with this school schedule and with these transportation issues, as well as all of these changes in visits.

Besides the inconvenience, the stress on the girls adds so much more crazy to this. They thrive on structure and routine, sounds to me like the parents, especially the Mom, haven't figured that out yet.
