I have sent home 2 'reminder' notes that I am closed Good Friday and Easter Monday... Dcm sends a note that dcg will not be here on Monday. Great, cause I'm closed. Dcd picks up and says see you Monday. Um, no, you won't. He has a minor freak out wondering what they are going to do, at which point I tell him that dcm sent a note anyways that dcg wouldn't be here b/c dcm doesn't have to work. He then proceeds to argue with himself whether or not she actually works, then says "must be nice to have the day off" in a snarky tone.

I could have said "yes it is. I have watched your kid for 55 hours a week while you have sat at home doing nothing. I think I deserve a break once in a while."

Instead, I froze my facial features (they always give me away ) turned and walked away.

And this same family is now late for payment this morning. And no, I will not send reminders. I will call the daily late fees, and possible turn away on Tuesday morning, an apology for being such a.... fill in the blank.

omg. this is going to be a rough day. i woke up soooooo "sensory sensitive" that I'm feeling crazed and it's only my own kids so far. Auditory and tactile inputs are like nails on a chalkboard. I'm literally cringing, wincing, jumping from any sound, any sensation. I would be VERY happy in a sensory deprivation chamber right now.

I get like this when I have a migraine sometimes but I don't have a headache at all. I'm baffled and this is really really uncomfortable.

I have a few things I'm going to try, including my standard migraine cure (chocolate, 20oz coke, double dose of ibuprofen) but mostly I think it's going to be a heck of a long day. And I don't like this! I don't like feeling so....crazed...about every sound, every touch.

Ugh... Feel better soon!! That's icky! I've been back to using Excedrine migraine for mine. I haven't had a full blown migraine in awhile (knock on wood) since I've started taking it at my first symptom.

Ugh... I have an interview today that's been scheduled and reschedule like 5 times and it's not even for FT care! First she wanted just one day, but now it's just for backup care. I thought for sure a Friday would be better than a Monday but now I'm rethinking that! Blah!! Dh told me not to "try too hard" and stress myself out and it's true. I tidied up like usual but I'm not doing my usual song and dance. Here it is, take it or leave it! LOL

6 yr old sa boy is here today because of spring break . You would think a kid this old would know enough to at least tell me when he poops ( the big D )on the bathroom floor . NOPE he leaves it there .

On the bright side he will not be coming tomorrow since he has D .

That would be a 'come get you brat,,,I mean kid' call for sure!::

Up at 530am for kids slotted to arrive at 545am, and they were a no show no call.

This is so rude! I had a DCF that did this crap all the time until I finally put my foot down with them. I hate no calls, no shows but the butt crack of dawn ones are the worst!

When DCM picked up 2 yr old dcg she started acting up (like always) well DCM got up to leave put something of dcg in her bag and of course dcg girlnsarted throwing a fit AND BIT DCM ON HER FACE AND THEN SLAPPED MOM!!!! Whoa I've never seen a kid do that! Really all I did was laugh cause well this I what happens when the princess of the house has no discipline. DCM just told her no we don't do that in a small weak quiet voice ugggggg

2.5 DCB hit teeny tiny 22-month DCG in the head with a toy, on purpose, and left a welt and even broke the skin.

His mom's reaction at pick-up? "I'm just surprised he hasn't done something like that at your place already." No comment made to DCB about his behavior. No "is DCG ok?" ugh!!

why do so many parents let their kids do nearly anything they want..
i have an over then 2.5 year old who has always been a pain to sleep...wonder why! she goes to bed around 10..maybe 11...on the couch...cause that is where she likes to fall asleep...wakes up around 6...unless its a bad night and she is up at 3:30-4 am..or was up form 3-5 (they let her get up and color..or play toys?!?) and fell back asleep. NO average child does that unless it is permitted!
And they want me to reduce naps or put up a fight at nap??!?! she avg 8hrs sleep/night...that is not enough to take away nap...maybe i just need to let her fall asleep on the floor when she feels like it!

I have the same family! Dcb who is 1.5 is always up in the middle of the night and they let him eat, play, etc... Ridiculous! Then once, dcb slept with dad and mom slept somewhere else. Dcd drops off and tells me that dcm woke up in the middle of the night because she heard hammering on the wall, it was dcb hammering with his play hammer! Dcd had no idea dcb woke up and was playing in the house!
