Venting Thread

[BumbleBee]

Dear 9 yo dck,

I realize you've been gone for 2 weeks, but I should not have to look you dead in the eye and say:

"When I tell you to do something I expect it to be done without arguement or complaint. I also expect it to be done the first time."

We seem to be on the upswing now but wow the morning was rough.

A little OT but I need to vent

Wow, it was a rough couple of days for my almost 4yo DCB and I am hoping tomorrow is better or I will have to send him home AGAIN. My assistant was supposed to take her CPR certification class tonight but when she got there, there is apparently no class tonight....glad I already paid for an imaginary class Now I have to cancel my 2 yo doctor apt AGAIN because I am the only cpr certified person here AND 7 of my light bulbs have burnt out in the last 24 hours and I have no more and no money to buy any and I keep using the mad smiley because there isn't a crying one.

DCM this morning: "Oh and we decided to go camping on the 5th so we won't be here"

:confused:

So I guess she didn't read the list of closed days for this year I sent home in Jan, July's invoice, the bulletin board, or reminder letter I send home last week... all said I'm CLOSED 4th and 5th.

That's annoying, but at least she isn't going to show up at your door when your closed::

I agree but this family is wishy washy and I won't be surprised if suddenly it becomes "see you Friday, we're not going camping after all" (even though I replied "I'm closed anyway," no acknowledgement from her to this statement) as they've done this the last 3 times they were going camping

[JoseyJo]

I think I would have just said "Good! I'm closed that day anyway!" and grinned really big ::

Ok, seriously?! Can something please go right?! I was finally going to get to take my ds to the doctor today and my sub texts me at 4 am that she can't make it today!!!
Can I just go back to bed for the next two weeks? Because this is how I feel lately

I believe I have caught someones "teething" otherwise know as strep throat. Lovely timing too. My baby's 3rd birthday is this week and we have family and friends coming to celebrate that and the 4th.

Just hope my friend who is pregnant with twins does not get "teething".

So I have figured out that there will always be that one parent.
She has yet to give a weeks schedule in advance even though I have asked for one verbally and sent a note home with dcg, she brings dcg at 1:00 or a little before and expects her to take a nap at 1:30 with the other kids. Even though this child gets up at 10:30 or later. She complains that dcg talks to much. :confused: Daycare is paid by a fostering agency which was paying for all of dcg daycare now things have changed and fosters have to kick in some or at least that is my understanding. Dreading dcm response to that letter.

Other then that...loving it!

[Jack Sprat]

Yes!!!!

I hate dresses on toddlers and crawlers! DCG (18mo) has been tripping all over hers today and getting frustrated and hurt because of it. She can't get on the slide, climber, bench, up stairs at library...

I finally had to tuck the front into her diaper (no pants and no extras) but she's got some fun scrapes on her forehead and back from getting caught in her dress and falling

[Sunshine74]

Someone please remind me to never work July 5th ever again. Kids coming in grumpy because they were up late and got up normal time, other ones coming in late because they slept in and then didn't nap. There was way too much crying, especially at lunch time.

Ugh. If my husband wasn't out of work right now I would have taken the day off.

Vent #1. Why in the name of all that is Holy, would you put a onesie on a fully potty trained 3yr old who couldn't unsnap it causing her to pee all over the bathroom and part of the carpet because she freaked out and ran out of the bathroom. And she had no extra clothes. Guess who had to leave work early.

Vent #2. Once again, DO NOT leave your infant/child alone in a classroom when you're dropping off first thing in the morning. If we are in the kitchen or another room setting up, we might not hear you come in. If you don't see one of us, call out and we will come running. I shouldn't have to tell you this is dangerous and can get us into all types of trouble. You will complain about missing socks, hair bows, the toys they aren't supposed to bring anyway but you think nothing of leaving your kid alone in building without letting anyone know. Sorry so long but the second one really pisses me off.

bathroom privacy

i had my L.O stop in for a routine inspection a few weeks ago and when she showed up i was in the washroom. she said she knocked on the door 2 times (which i never heard) and then she said she looked though the window to see me coming out of the washroom and that the children playing in the play area of my LFC.

Apparently this was and is a problem for her. she suggested to me that i take the children into the bathroom with me when i have to use the washroom. I could understand this if i had an infant but the children that were present were 6YO, 4YO & 2YO. I do not think it is appropriate for me to be taking children into the washroom with me as all of my DCK are boys and I am female + us females have female business that we need to take care of once a month if you know what I mean.

Anyone else had this problem? do you take your children into the washroom with you (other than infants / babies)????? I have talked to ALL of my DCP and they agree with me that this is a bit unreasonable.
