Evie sighed as she sat on her bed with Dragon Tales playing on the tv while she was rocking Mal who was silently crying and chewing on her teether while watching the show. It had been about a day or two since Mal had started teething and she was still just in so much pain. Evie looked over at Uma who was smirking and she had been doing that for the past few days and every time Evie asked her why she was doing that she would just smirk more and say you'll see. It was honestly worrying her.
Just as Evie was calming the toddler there was a knock at the door and before Evie could get up to answer it Uma was already at the door with the biggest smirk on her face making Evie feel uneasy about who was at the door as Uma was never that excited to open the door unless it was her crew and today Gil and Harry were out of town with Carlos, Jay, and Ben having a boy's trip.
Evie froze when she saw through the door camera that she had and saw there was a camera crew and the "child expert" from that show Royal Nanny that Uma loved making her watch so she could point out everything that Evie does wrong with Mal. Evie knew from Uma's smirk that Uma had actually called that show on her. "Uma what is wrong with you!" Evie screamed out making Uma laugh as she loved seeing Evie's confused and obviously upset face.
"I told you that you would see what I was talking about soon!" Uma told Evie with a smirk again and Evie just got more upset. "You called a nanny expert on me! I don't need this and I don't want her in my house! Just don't answer the door!" Evie told Uma in a whisper as she didn't want to be rude, but she didn't want some "child expert" in her dorm telling her how to parent when she didn't even need it.
Uma just smirked as she looked at Evie. "Too bad princess I already called them and they accepted they obviously feel like you need help if they actually responded and maybe it will help that creature stop being so clingy," Uma told Evie as she was enjoying this so much. Evie just rolled her eyes as she looked at Uma who was opening the door and greeting everyone as she was excited to be humiliating Evie. "I'm telling you right now that I will not listen to a word she says because I don't need this and so it's a total waste of time," Evie told Uma as she picked up Mal and sat back down on her bed bouncing the toddler a little.
Uma just laughed as she allowed the people inside and the nanny smiled when she saw Evie as she went to greet her. "Hi you must be Evie I'm presuming and I'm assuming the little cutie in purple is Mal, so today we are just here to observe so please just go about your normal day," the nanny expert told Evie who just put on a fake smile as she looked over at the lady. "Yes I am and I am very sorry that we have wasted your time, but I really don't need help and I didn't call you. My annoying roommate over there did just to mess with me," Evie told the nanny who just gave Evie a look as she had seen footage that Uma had sent in and in her opinion Evie definitely needed help.
She was a sixteen year old girl raising a toddler on her own while still going to school. Not only that but from what she had seen Evie was completely overly protective and coddling which to her was causing problems for Mal as the toddler was extremely clingy and refused to even play with other children.
"I understand that you may not want help, but from what I have seen I feel as though you need the help. I've seen some things that you do that are actually quite concerning when it comes to her. For instance what you are doing now. She's two she is perfectly capable of walking around without being held like a baby. Now I want you to place her down and we can get started," the nanny expert told Evie who just sighed but refused to listen as she already didn't like this lady.
Uma just smirked as she knew this was killing Evie. "Come on princess you heard the lady put the creature down," Uma jokingly told Evie and the nanny gave Uma a dissparoving look as she didn't like the way Uma was treating both Evie and the small toddler.
"Uma she is not a creature. For the last time she is a toddler not a pet!" Evie told Uma who just rolled her eyes again. "Same thing! Now put it down already!" Uma screamed out to Evie who just sighed as she placed Mal down and the toddler immediately started crying again as she ran over to Evie.
"Mommy! Upie! Upie mommy! I wan uppie! Mommy upie!" The small toddler cried out as she began to throw a tantrum wanting Evie to hold her as she was still teething and wanted Evie to comfort her.
The nanny then looked at Evie who she could see was about to break. "Don't pick her up. I want you to keep a little distance from her as she needs to learn to not depend on you for everything. If you keep picking her up when she cries she will never learn," the nanny told Evie hoping to teach her, but Evie just looked at the lady like she was insane.
"You want me to just let her cry for me! There is no way I'm doing that!" Evie told the lady as she picked up the crying toddler and immediately soothed her causing the nanny to shake her head in disapproval as Evie had just completely ignored her and did the opposite. She knew that she was dealing with teenagers, but Evie had completely disrespected her and Uma had such an attitude when it came to the toddler which wasn't good.
Normally she wouldn't do teach days on the first day, but Evie was refusing to listen to her and she could already clearly see the problem. "No! Don't do that! You are creating separation anxiety in that child and you need to control it before it becomes an even bigger issue," the child expert told Evie who rolled her eyes.
Uma just smirked as she loved watching Evie get lectured as Evie normally lectured her and she liked seeing it from the other side. "That's what I've been saying! That creature doesn't stop crying when Evie leaves and I've once seen it cry so much that it made itself throw up! And I can't get it to to interact with other creatures her age," Uma told the nanny while smirking and watching as the nanny gave Evie another disapproving look as she didn't like hearing that and it seemed like Evie was refusing to listen to any advice or help that she had.
"You see that is a problem! A child her age should be socializing with other children and creating a personality for themselves, but what you are doing is regressing her to a baby. And the physically getting sick when being away from you needs to be fixed! A child should never be that attached to a parent or guardian like that! And you not being willing to accept help is a problem! You are a sixteen year old girl who thinks she knows everything about parenting when your child is literal proof that you don't! And you can fight me all you want, but if you don't start changing that child will suffer the consequences!" The nanny expert screamed out as she was angry. Evie needed help and she was refusing it.
Evie just laughed as she looked at the expert. "Oh please I know more than you do about my own child! And I never called you! I don't need you at all Mal is fine! If you want to lecture someone on how they treat kids I recommend Uma who keeps on calling Mal a pet and a creature!" Evie told the nanny with an attitude as she didn't like that someone was criticizing her parenting.
Uma just laughed as she looked at Evie. "Nah she's here for you not me!" Uma told Evie, but was interrupted by the nanny.
"Actually I am here for both of you as you may not realize it but you two are both living together with her and you are both involved in her life. You two are both raising this child whether you realize it or not and you need to learn how to treat each other with respect otherwise that child will grow up thinking it's normal to treat others like that. And the name calling needs to go! She is a child that needs nurturing and you are giving her the opposite. And you have the opposite problem: you are giving her too much nurturing that she isn't able to to establish a personality away from you! Now we have a lot of work to do! I will be back in the morning," the nanny expert told the two teens as she quickly left before they could put in their opinions again.
Once the lady left Evie just looked at Uma. "Way to go! I hope you're happy," Evie sarcastically told Uma as she began to pack up a bag. "Um what are you doing?" Uma asked Evie who just rolled her eyes as she continued to pack up a bag.
"I'm taking Mal and getting out of here before that annoying lady comes back and tells me how to parent my own child! Mal sweetie let's go," Evie told Uma and the toddler as she picked up the two year old.
"Princess you can't just take off! Where do you plan on even going!" Uma screamed out as she couldn't believe Evie was really just going to take off just so she didn't have to listen to an expert that could help her with her parenting.
"I don't know yet, but anywhere is better than here!" Evie screamed out as she was about to leave when Uma pulled her back. "Oh no you don't! You are not just taking off again because it's easier than facing reality!" Uma screamed out making Evie huff as she pulled her arm out of Uma's grip.
"There is no reality! I do not need help with my parenting! But you're right I won't leave because I'm going to prove to that annoying lady that I am a very good parent and better than she is!" Evie told Uma, making Uma groan. "Evie that's not the point…" Uma told Evie, but she interrupted her.
"It is definitely the point and you brought this on yourself! I hope you realize that I'm not the only one she's going to be trying to fix tomorrow! Now if you will excuse me Mal and I are going to the park because I'm a good parent that takes my child out for fresh air!" Evie called out as she picked up the toddler and left for the park.
Uma just rolled her eyes as she sat down on her bed watching TV. "Oh Evie is in for a rude awakening tomorrow," Uma told herself out loud as she threw herself down on her bed and turned on the tv waiting for Evie and Mal to get back from the park.
