I've been up for 2 hours, expected my 1st arrival at 7:15. It's now 8:25 with NO kids here yet. 3 are scheduled. NOT HAPPY

Just had a dcm drop off dck with a nebulizer and she said "he hasn't eaten or had his breathing treatment, but he needs both, and maybe a nap"
REALLY???? He is almost 3, we don't do morning nap, breakfast has been over for 30 minutes and why didn't you do his breathing treatment at home?Comment

He would have been turned away at the door here.
The only time I'd allow a child that needs a nebulizer into care was if it were due to an on going condition (asthma etc).
Needing one due to cold/congestion etc is grounds for exclusion.
.....and since he was tired/cranky AND hungry....he was unprepared for the day and therefore would have been excluded.
Sorry you are having to deal with that.

I've already given this family 2 weeks, next friday is their last day. I shouldn't have taken him today, but I feel sorry for him.He would have been turned away at the door here.

You'd think dcm would've gotten the hint that it is too cold for sandals (which I don't allow anyway) and no coat outside when I told her on Friday that dck needs more than just that for the day...dcm responded that dck wouldn't wear anything. I told her I didn't care what dck thought of wearing a coat...I require one. And then at pickup I again verbally reminded her point blank that I do not want a repeat of the situation we had at drop off so I expect dck to come with shoes/boots and a coat since it will be cold Monday.
But nooooooo...dcm shows up again with no coat for the day...and it was sleeting outside. I thought she would have common sense to look out the window and go "gee, that sleet looks awfully cold".
So I again had to tell her it was not going to cut it and this time she is getting the very specific list that I usually send home once a year before the first snowfall...she got it before but apparently since the calendar says it is spring, she must think the list no longer applies.
Ugh.Comment

Arrrrgh!
I have FOUR new kids this week-all were taken into CPS custody a week ago. They act as though they have never seen a fruit or vegetable. The 3 year old CRIED when I put his veggies on his plate at lunch today. They keep telling me they are full and then beg and plead and cry for candy. Other than this issue, they're great kids, but this food thing, on day 3, is already SO old.
EDIT: And....the 5 yo just asked me for juice. I gave him a glass of water with a splash of juice on top. He told me that I forgot the sugar. You HAVE to put sugar in juice!Comment

I'm taking a week vacation next month to have surgery (tonsils are going buh-bye). I posted it 2 weeks ago, so giving nearly a two month notice. Today, I had to amend it by adding a day, telling them it was out of my control because my doctor had to change the surgery day. ONE EXTRA DAY, and I haven't had vacation time of more than two days in a year!!!
What do I get as a response from my parents who just went on a vacation in February without their child.... a stomping foot and "ohhhhhh, neither my husband or I have any PTO".
Have a back up plan people. Jeez. It's not like I'm not giving you enough notice for crying out loud.
This... on top of another parent trying to bring in a kid this morning who just puked all over my carpet and sent home yesterday. (Um.... yeah, not happening, turn around mister and go home).
And a 4 year old peeing in the bed at nap time.
I'm having a great week.Comment

Ipod
That iPod you let your 2 year old bring, let along have, poses a problem in my house. We are not eating breakfast watching it and I do NOT enjoy the fit I get when I remove it and put it up. I also don't appreciate the crying fits between kids when they all think it's mine and I want it. Leave it at home!!!Comment

Ah morning. The dad dropped off my first daycare kids an hour later than usual. They usually get dropped off by mom. They texted me five minutes before they were supposed to show up saying they would be later. So….could have slept another hour. I’m not a morning person, and I’m annoyed. He acted very cheerful. People. I don’t get up when it’s dark out for fun dude. If it happens again I’ll have to say something. The older brother cried for daddy a bunch when he left. I’m pretty sure he thought he was going to hang with daddy today.Comment

Can kindergarten start tomorrow?! PLEASE?!?!
I also feel very bad for whoever gets my one dcb next year. The older he gets, the harder he is to manage, the worse his behavior is, and the more obvious his issues are.
PHEW It's been a rough week!Comment

So DCB has been out sick all week, just came back today. Still not 100% but good enough to be here. He's been sleeping for 3 hours, mom asked how he was doing and I said tired and let her know how long he had been sleeping. She wanted me to wake him up so he could "get back on a schedule." Yeah sorry DCM, I don't wake babies. He needs that sleep to get over this compleltly. Plus my kids have it now and well let's just say we are no where near a regular schedule today. I'm fine with it. Next week we'll get back on a schedule, today, I'm letting kids rest and sleep as much as they want. Pick him up and get him back on a schedule yourself if you feel that's best for him. I'm not doing it for you
*sigh* I'm going to hear about this at pick up. And again when he "refuses to sleep" tonight
(good thing I have no obligation to respond to texts after business hours he he)
