Our new AP arrived two weeks ago and it doesn't seem to be going very well. I thought initially it was me (been suffering from concussion since she arrived so not at my best) but now my youngest has said he hates her and wants her to leave.
I find her incredibly irritating - where ever I go in the house she follows me and talks non stop... last night after having spent 3 hours at the hospital getting a CT scan she started on at me before I had even got my coat off... mostly about me writing a cheque for her english course which I am really annoyed about. During her interview this was discussed and left as she would pay for it... the other night I went to bed early and she persuaded DP that we would pay for it which I feel is sneaky so now don't trust her.
That aside, she left the youngest (6) alone in house because he didn't want to go for a walk - she thought this would be ok as she left him her mobile number ??? and seemed surprised I said this was unacceptable. She makes no effort to do things he likes because she wants to do girlie things with my daughter. All this very worrying given she is a qualified teacher.
Tonight I have had my son sobbing which was then followed by AP sobbing. I know the adjustment can take time but previously have loved the APs and enjoyed their company. How long should I give it as I am worried my judgement is off due to bump to the head :-)
