I'd like to think that just once, parents would respect the hb we provide for them, and go along with what they signed onto. Especially when it's all written out for them, so there is no need for any guesswork on their part.

Subsidized mom taking advantage
Let me rant! You don't pay for child care and you have time off work and you want to bring your kids and of course right up to the last minute I'm open!! Not just one day either! Must be nice! When I stayed home with my kids I had to bring them with me. I didn't have free childcare!! Sure, I get paid but I also pay into that with my taxes. Least you could do is spend some time with your kids instead of dropping them off every day you have off! It's no wonder they whine for TV and juice all the time. Anything to shut them up! They come in crying because you rolled out of bed and threw clothes on (because I insist they are dressed) and then plop them in the car before they have time to wake up. Spend time with your kids people! Don't use free childcare except what it's for...to help you while you work!! That is all.Comment

Dr. prescribed a med that I have to take during the day and it makes me sleepy. I have been one grumpy, desperate-for-a-nap girl today. I can't do this and do my job effectively. I feel like I've been up all night. So I won't be taking these anymore. She'll just have to find an alternative.Comment

Cancelled plans with a good friend so I could do a last minute interview. Caller said she couldn't possibly meet tomorrow or Friday or over the weekend, it had to be today. I really need a 2-4 yo fulltimer and have been getting tons of infant calls, I am worried about not filling it soon. So I cancel the plans with my friend, then the potential client cancels last minute. She says she will call tomorrow to reschedule for Th or Fri. :confused: So now you can meet then? WTF so irritated.
AND dcb 4 punched my DS 3 in the crotch today. DS picked up the Lego he wanted, so he punched him. So pissed. This little boy has lots of behavior issues, his dad is in prison. They are moving in 3 weeks, so no point in terming. I need the money until they leave and I fill the spot. He has never physically lashed out before. Just terrible listening and terrible manner. I just want today to be over.

So sorry for the rough day... BTW, I never offer interviews on Monday or Fridays and definantly not weekends; I might need clients, but I have a life too and will not change my plans anymore just to get someone in the door.Cancelled plans with a good friend so I could do a last minute interview.

DCB 2 years 3 months is dropped off and is told (by me) he needs to take off his shoes before he joins in the activity. Which has been a rule since day one. He pouts so mom picks him says "Oh I know you just put them on" and proceeds to take them off and put them away for him.
Really?????
This just might be why I have been having trouble with him taking them off and putting them away himself when we come in from outside time.

Is it just me?
Is it just me or do others think it's terrible to let a toddler start the car? I have a parent that lets their toddler start the car everyday at pick up. I have no words!!Comment

I tell SA kids to pick up whatever they play with....no problem, give or take with 1-2 reminders.
I tell ADULTS to pick up after their class is done....I'm on my 6th reminder and they STILL can't do it.
I am nice enough to share my classroom with a Mommy & Me class and an Art class during non-aftercare hours. I cover any toys I don't want touched, if not all of them, with table clothes. Everything is clearly labeled and pretty brainless to clean. STILL these teachers leave my room a mess. I'm soooo sick of picking up after them. I take pride in my room. It's my money, time and energy to have it as it is. They have broken far more than enough toys.
My niceness stops now. Find another room.

Me: did dcg sleep ok last night? She has been really fussy all day and hasn't slept.
Dcm: slept through the night. Good, now she will go in early tonight to catch up. No worries!
Tomorrow I am calling for pick up if it is anything like today. I have an issue with this dcm every single day. All my other families are great. I have 9 more weeks to stick it out and then she is done. I don't have her children for the summer and I am not going to be taking them back next year.Comment

Sleep deprived 3 year old has been a nightmare all week. I gave the problem back to mom and she gave me a list of excuses. I don't care. It's her problem, not mine. I'm done!Comment

WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?! I gave my new contracts out and the one family I didn't expect issues from is the only one I've had them with? I'm open 7-530 I have a line for parents to write what time pickup will be, they wrote 6 uhhhh?? So i gave them a copy back and in red pen wrote next to that " I close at 530 pickup should be no later than 530" and new late payment in contract, apparently they didn't read this AT ALL!! DCD drops kids off" oh uh can I bring you a check tonight" I just noded sure id love an extra $10. Mom picked up and they obviously didn't discuss anything so no check, great another $10. Boy are they in for a rude awakening...AzchildcarepvdrComment

Good news/ bad news: Good news is my wife is going to be around the house more the next few days. Bad news is it's because she just jacked up her leg (possible torn calf muscle) so she's off work for at least a week. Which means she be home a LOT MORE the next few days.
At least she can keep my MIL entertained and off my butt for a little bit.
