She came at 6:18. I told her that if it happens again I will take dcg with me and she can pick up where I am at the time. And if it happens one more time after that she will be immediately termed. I don't want to charge a late charge because there is no amount of money that would be worth me missing my kids activities.

A girl who used to be my best friend in high school messaged me at 10:30 last night while I was already in bed asleep, so I awoke to her message this morning. Pleading me to take her 2 SICK children because her other provider wasn't available today (or just wouldn't take them, maybe). The same "friend" who has contacted me on at least 3 separate occasions, telling me she is thinking of bringing her kids to me, only to then stop contacting me for at least a few months (one such occasion, we had agreed to start them on a certain date, and she just never showed! After 2 weeks of them never showing and me asking, she finally said she was going to keep them with their original provider). So after all of that, she then has the nerve to spring that request on me?
No, sorry. No amount of money is worth bringing 2 kids you just told me tested positive for the FLU. Never mind the fact I haven't even actually met them yet. Sure, I'm sorry you can't take off work and desperately need someone...but I can't get myself or my other DCK's sick and hurt my job!
Let alone how you've chosen to treat me personally. Ack. I don't get it.

Dcg age 2 has been having 4 to 5 BMs a day for the past 2 days. Her bottom has a bad rash from it. At pick up yesterday dcm said that she would take her to the doctor if it continued today but that she hasn't had any BMs at home. Well by 10am today dcg was on her third poopy diaper. I text mom and haven't heard back. I don't need her to pick up but I would like a response. I am reauesting she be seen by a doctor before she returns. Her bottom is too raw.
Dcg, almost 3, has been potty trained since before she turned 2. Dcm told me she had an accident at night. She has had 3 here today. I finally put her in a diaper. Text dcm and no response.
What is going on today??????Comment

Sounds like they're making it your problem. Are the poopy diapers loose or just more than normal? Sometimes if a kid has been constipated or hasn't gone in a couple days, and they're having normal BM's(not loose, runny) it could just be making up for it. Change in diet or more foods that would help them poop would be the case also.Comment

They are all loose. This dcg has never missed a day to poop. Lol. Today her skin felt warm. I took her temp but it was 98.2. But her skin still felt warm.
The other dcg that had all the accidents hasn't pooped in days. I questioned dcm at pick up. Told her maybe she was constipated and it was pushing on her bladder. She will be in a diaper here tomorrow and if she doesnt poop by tomorrow night and continues to have accidents needs to go to the doctor. Glad I can vent here.Comment

Oh my goodness...its not even 9 and everyone has the worst attitude today. Lots of rude, mean, behaviors (from my own kids too). I guess my one saving grace in this is my 5 month old is not screaming his little head off like he has the past few days (teeth, growth spurt, I don't even know...)
But wow. This is going to be a long day...Comment

4 year old at daycare WILL NOT LISTEN. He whines and turns away from me. And if he doesn't whine he laughs and gets all the other kids laughing and not helping to clean up or get ready to transition to the next room, and I'm starting to sound like a broken record. I'm at my wits end with this boy, and I know underneath his attitude he's a really nice kid. Sometimes by the end of the day I am nearly tearing my hear out.Comment

12 pages into a form requiring a bunch of useless, repetitive, and annoying information (that you get from me every 6 months) don't ask my "Primary and Secondary Language". It took every bit of willpower I had not write in "Profanity" and "Sarcasm".

Dcg was home because she was 'off'. Fair enough. Last night get an email that she is good to go after having been on meds for an infection since Saturday and having a great day at home. Guess who is being sent home today with a fever. Good thing we spent most of the day outside but she has had her hand in her mouth (and then over toys and everything else) all day. Yay! Just what I wanted to do: clean the whole playroom.

IDK about the rest of ya, I just got licensed so I can stay at home with my son who is almost 2. I live in Ks and apparently you can't babysit without being licensed..ugh
So now, I have 4 full time daycare kids and my son. 4,3,2,1, and 4 mo.
My youngest kiddo is still relatively new. Hes also breastfed at home which in theory is awesome. But hes bottle fed here. The mom has him on a schedule at home and proceeds to give me that schedule to do here. Fine, dandy, but the kid won't flippin eat hardly here. I've tried different positions etc..I tell mom this and she rolls her eyes...seriously...I ask if they ever bottle feed him at home. Dad does with no problems. GRRRR.... He manages to eat about 4.5 oz 2-3 times here. Drop off around 730am pick up 5. Then she brings him on her day off so she can clean her house. Fine, you pay by the week but a baby that young and breastfed shouldnt have to be here all day long...regardless if you pay or not. ALL HE DOES IS CRY. I cant do anything with any of the other kids unless hes asleep or he cries...Im so tempted to give 2 week notice!!
HELP? ADVICE?Comment

I literally just went through this. I told parents that if she is still not taking a bottle, after 3 hours I will call for someone to come feed, whether it is mom to nurse or dad to bottle feed. Baby doesn't have to leave but someone has to come within the hour to feed in order for baby to stay. That was on Friday, on Monday she was slugging back bottles like a champ
Sometime the parents just need to know how serious the situation is!
If that doesn't work then I agree with Black cat, I have termed over babies crying all day. It makes for a long and miserable for you, the baby and all the other kiddos! Good luck!!Comment

Why can't they have a bottle when they go to sleep? Especially if they are just starting out at a strange place with strange people... :confused:New dck started on Monday. I was thorough at my interview about naps. Talked to them about a month ago, again about naps. Emailed them on Friday to remind them of our nap schedule.
Guess who won't nap for me? She comes yesterday with a note of her nap times. Morning nap time doesn't correlate to ours and her afternoon nap is "hit or miss". Noting that she goes to sleep with a bottle, which I told them is not happening, during interviews.
This child had an ok day yesterday. Today is a clingy, crying tired mess.
Why would a parent do this to their child? It is so unfair to them. She is not enjoying herself. :confused:
Having a convo with dcm tonight.
