Food
Life would be simpler for us all if the staff would cowboy up and follow the USDA food schedule. But everyone in this place is conditioned to not withhold food. Did we all grow up starving? Even I didn’t have enough to eat, but still know this is a group home. Fix the meal listed. Fix only that meal. Tell them tough deal if they complain. Only those with a doctor’s note need special school. The only reason you won’t follow the healthy food menus is because either you don’t like the food, or don’t want to hear the girls complain.
Concerning bedtimes
Staff,
Please follow through on enforcing bedtimes for the clients.
Translation: when a client got in the most trouble they possibly could get into says they can’t sleep and they need to talk to you in private, it’s a red flag that you are the weakest, and easiest to manipulate. You are completely getting owned.
