I really need to vent...

I was so furious today that I almost lost my cool. I was having a decent day. Sold some stuff for a fundraiser, Jared took a nice 3 hour nap, Chloe had a nice day at school. She listened when I told her to get ready for dance.
Dance class. Where toddlers aren't welcome even in the waiting room.
I've been a little put off by the owner of the studio lately, but tonight was the last straw. The first strike was a few half-funny comments about how spirited my son is.
The second was her asking me to take him outside when they are changing classes.
What the heck? Not a big deal in September, but what about later?


Tonight I kept him in the car with me. Luckily we have a vcr in the van. I had to write the tuition check, so I took him in at THE END of class. When my daughter came out, I had her watch my son while I went in to talk to the old bat.
I asked her how much I owed her, and she told me she had a class and turned away from me
.
I will NOT take my daughter back there. I am not going to pay this woman to be rude to me.
My daughter told me that the owner has been mean to some of the girls too. I had to explain to my 7 year old daughter that she may have to go a few months without dancing until I find somewhere else for her to go. Apparently I am not the first parent to feel this way lately...
