ANOTHER REASON WHY I DON'T TRUST PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!

I don't get it. Not at all. How is it that I can give instructions to someone, over and over and they STILL won't do it??!! I don't know if it is deliberate and they are just lazy, or if they are just soooo forgetful. The most recent example is this. I have to work. I have absolutely NO choice whatsoever. Because of work, I have to leave Elliot with a babysitter. Most the people who watch Elliot during the week, I completely trust. But there is another that has made this whole trusting thing extremely difficult. Elliot is almost 1 and is eating quite a bit of solid foods and much more than just formula through the day. In fact, I usually only give him about 3 bottles of formula a day. One in the morning (he refuses to eat breakfast until after he has had a bottle, weirdo!), sometimes one in the afternoon when he takes his nap, and one just before bed. Sometimes, he'll wake up in the middle of the night and be really hungry so sometimes he'll get one then. All the rest of the day he eats meals and some snacks. At least when I am with him for a full day, which sadly, is only Saturday's and Sunday's. Every day I pack enough food for him for each meal he will be there for, plus some snacks, and sometimes a little extra food just in case. Never has this particular person fed him anywhere near enough of what I sent, in fact, they will hardly feed him any of it!! I will also pack enough formula for 3 bottles, 6 oz each. But he never drinks that much during the time I am at work. I just like to pack extra just in case (I'm that way with clothes and diapers for him too). Yes, I know, sometimes kids get picky and weird with their food and eating habits. but it is only with this person that it is this bad. At least everybody else tries to get him to eat and take naps. What do I have to do to get people to listen and follow through? Aargh!. I know this post will probably offend this someone (if they ever read this). But honestly, I DON'T CARE!!!!!!!!!!! When it comes to the protection and well being of my son I will do whatever I feel like I need to. And if that means offending someone, than so be it. Besides, they are the ones who are probably feeling guilty and choose to be offended anyway! I hate feeling this way and not being able to trust anyone. Believe me, if I could stay home and take care of my son, I would jump soooooooooo high and soooooooo fast at that opportunity. But for now, I have no choice and must find a way to deal with all that involves. No matter how much I despise it. Maybe its time to find another option for babysitting and not have this person do it anymore. However, there are some things that may make that a lot more complicated than it may seem. But if it is what is best for my son, than I will do it. I just don't know where else to go for someone to watch him. Okay, enough venting for now.
