It's been a Monday here. Everyone is beyond crabby, extra tired, and extra vocal about it all. Ugh.Leave a comment:

My PT day care boy didn't bring mittens last week, so I told the they needed to bring them (I have extras, he doesn't like them
)
Today he brings TWO pairs of mittens, but NO snow pants.
I have extras, but he tried to say he doesn't like them. Too bad, so sad.Leave a comment:

He is the one playing you but dcm needs to understand that no matter what you have to be paid. Dcm Need to feel some heat too. I had this problem before and dcm blamed everything on dcd. Finally told her they could fight all theywanted but I had to get paid. They left with no two week notice. The child should have been the dcm most important part of this issue and I felt if the dcm appreciated me she would have paid to keep the spot. Hope this works out for you and you get your money caught up.
Mom needs to know the child is about to get kicked out of your program. If Dad doesn't pay, she's losing day care too.Leave a comment:

On top of normal case of the Mondays: The three year old had 4 hours of sleep last night. She's a delight today, let me tell ya. The 8 month old has been on vacation for two weeks and is just returning, and the one year old is getting dropped of right in the middle of what would normally be her morning nap time.

I am so fed up right now
Working in childcare can be so rough. The worst part are the licensing people, they are a pain the the you no what. for the last three years, i keep getting wrote up for the same thing. sometimes, am in compliance next, am not. ( for what i have proven, over and over, to be in compliance) my licensee person threatening basically retaliation on me. am pissed. am wondering if i should file a complaint once she does this investigation and me proven to be true.
she also asked me why was my house unkept. because am breaking things down and cleaning washing etx. I have folded clothes and hangers on my couch to put on hangers and hang up. am sweeping and vacuum my floor,etc.
( i didn't have children the two times this happened)
She says, what if children was coming, ummm i would have taken care of my house needs at a different time! sorry, am in home, i have to get things do when i can. so, sometimes i just break everything down and redo all at once so, it looks a mess. well what if someone just drop buy to look for a new home. Well, they will be outside. I dont just take random walk in unless, your child is in my care. I have been doing this for going on 8 years, (license) more than 15 total...
They expect a perfect schedule, i am in house, we usually end up taken kids who need a flexible schedule.. ( most of our children and families need that. schoolagers, schedule changes!) I do not understand why is it, people who NEVER WORKED IN CHILDCARE, HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE A LICENSEE. ( when you give families 60-80hrs a week, that is what happened)
sorry guys, i feel better already. i can really use some uplifting words right now.Leave a comment:

Thanks Annalee, sorry to hear it didn't work out for you. Some people don't appreciate the importance of finding dependable and good child care. They truly feel dc is easy to find and any old dc will do.He is the one playing you but dcm needs to understand that no matter what you have to be paid. Dcm Need to feel some heat too. I had this problem before and dcm blamed everything on dcd. Finally told her they could fight all theywanted but I had to get paid. They left with no two week notice. The child should have been the dcm most important part of this issue and I felt if the dcm appreciated me she would have paid to keep the spot. Hope this works out for you and you get your money caught up.
I think(hope) dcm will come through with the payment because she's been pretty emphatic all this time about not 'blowing the spot' for her ds. Dcm has taken to picking up dcb so dcd doesn't pick up late on his days to p/u. So I trust that she will pay, then work out the rest of it with dcd.

Dcm picked up dcb yesterday and I start to tell her the convo that transpired between dcd and myself. She starts smiling and nodding; I ask 'you've already talked with him?' Yep, and she read him the riot act. He said he was not going to pay me the 98, only the 36 he thought he owed. She told him to take that up with me but paying his ds's ccprovider should be his first priority. So if he tries to pull that crap with me on Monday, I will ask him if his refusal to pay on time(his week to pay is this coming week) and the rest of his account, is his way of giving me their 2 week notice. I told dcm if he doesn't come through with the $$ on Monday, she would have to start paying(as wise people from here have already suggested a few times) Dcm has already warned him about losing child care due to non payment.
I have to say, it's been......hmmm, nope, I've NEVER run into such an idiot as a dcp at all.
As was mentioned by another poster(lovemykidstoo ?), she'd hate to lose the money but sometimes, it comes down to more than that.

I have one who's similar. He's 8 months now, but has always been high maintenance. I call it "man cold syndrome" ... whatever is imperfect in his world is worse than anyone can imagine, far worse than has happened to anyone else, a very immediate problem, and must be fixed NOW by someone besides him. He's adorable, but he really needs to get over it.Leave a comment:

Today is crap, literally. The kids passed around a fairly "mild" stomach bug (if there is such a thing) early this week. I thought we were over it, but apparently I'm not. Stomach cramps are horrible today.
One of the kids left the water on in the downstairs bathroom yesterday and I didn't catch it. So it ran all night. Woke up this morning to the sound of our septic backing up into the laundry room. We fought this all last winter, but thought we were over it. The theory was that the lateral lines froze while the house was empty while on the market. I know the water being left on was a factor, but it should not have flooded a septic system made for a five bedroom house. And its been way too warm to cause the freezing problems we "thought" was the issue last year.
I am just done.Leave a comment:
