Yet another vent about parents!

So Saturday our studio was to have pictures taken at the park.
Late Friday evening the SO calls to tell me that she will not be there. Her husbands grandmother is not well at all & they are calling in the family b/c she probably won't last long. So she has to go out of town about 5 hrs. away!She told me & the Photographer how she wanted the pictures to look. The other teacher & I will be there so no problem right? WRONG!

I was the first one there. The kids were no problem but the parents kept saying "Did Ms.S.O. forget?" "wheres the photographer?" "we have to leave fo church camp in 45 mins"
"I'm Hot" (Really! so am I, welcome to July in Texas!)

But what really got me is when I told them she had a "Family emergency" & would not be there they got mad! I even had them go as far as saying "she didn't tell me" & "what kind of family emergency could SHE have" AHHHH !

HELLO!! Like she had time to sit down & call everybody & let them know. She called me as she was getting in the car to leave!
She has a life Too!!
They have no problem leaving their kids with us for hours at a time to teach,Backstage at recital & comps, but we're not capable to get them posed for a picture?? Please!

I truly hate to know what they said about me when I missed alot this year Due to my dad being in the hospital & then passing away! I'm sure wouldn't even be able to look the in the face!

I'll be sure to remind them of this when thier kid gets moved to the back row because they called on a Thursday before competition
& say they can't come because their Uncle had a root canal!

Sorry this was long, but I had to get it out!
