:thumbdown:Let's see...I'll try to makeit short!
We were going to have it at the local Museum but there was a mix-up and the aticle that we had counted on for most of the marketing didn't get put into the paper!! So, we had to move the class as we couldn't afford the rent! I had suggested several places but she HAD to have it at her apartment!
So...it's the morning of the class and...
I arrive at her house to find the kitchen dirty! There is stuff piled on her dinning room table where we are suppose to have the display, the ingredients for the recipes are still in grocery bags where she had left them Thursday(I offered to put them away but she said she would do it), her countertops are dirty and the products that we are using for the recipes are nowhere in sight!
So, I go right in and start getting things together. Does she help? No. She gets the phone and sits down on the couch! I thought that was bad until I begin to hear bits and pieces of the conversation! She has loaned out one of the products that we need (over a week ago) and she is going to have to go get it. Our class starts in just over an hour!!
So, she doesn't just hop in her van and go! She puts her makeup on and brushes her teeth and does God knows what in her bedroom for about 10 min. and then she leaves!!
I set everything up (which meant digging through her cabinets to find things), have all the recipes organized, the kids stations set up and everything ready to go and she shows up 5 minutes AFTER the class was to start!!
Then she takes the lead on one of the four recipes that we prepared and sits and does nothing on the others but talk to the parents about her upstairs neighbors fighting and cussing all of the time and about the PC products(after we agreed that this was about the kids not the products!). Did I mention that the parents came to participate WITH the kids and she was keeping them from that?
Then I open the microwave to put one of the recipes in and all I can say is :yuck:!! I quickly pulled the door where, I hope, noone could see the inside and put the recipes in myself!
Since the class ended she has sent me 9 messages(not counting the replies to my replies) about all of the things that I did wrong! How I took over...she wasn't there when we started and hadn't made, and wouldn't try, three of the four recipes!! She also told me how I had told the children that they could ALL use the kitchen sink to wash their dishes and she was going to let half of them use the BATHROOM sink. :yuck::yuck::cry::thumbdown::yuck:
So, we have a class coming up the 26th and i really don't want to have it over there for personal and professional reasons.
She has sent out a message to some of her contacts that we will not be letting any more kids enroll(we aren't up to our enrollment goal and I paid for the materials up front). So, what do you think of spliting the class and relocating half of the class (again)? Not ideal but I don't want to turn kids away or CRAM them in!!
