    22 mo has been crying/screaming for 20 min because I won't let her tear down the preschoolers block tower. DCB3 told me his feelings hurt because she keeps screaming, as he's covering his ears. Thank goodness she's only here for half day today!

      Come on Parents, get it together! When dressing your child for the day, please consider the weather before making your clothing selection! I understand that the mornings are a bit cool when you leave the house, but fleece sweat pants on an 80° day is not appropriate. If you the adult don't want to wear sweat pants outside, please don't send your child in them to run and play outside.

        I had to fire my assistant for calling off yet again. She had nerve to question me and get attitude which made me not feel guilty one bit.

          In a similar vein, we live in upstate NY. This time of year can be wild, one day 80, the next in the 50's. Please don't allow your child to wear shorts and t's on those days just because "it was 80 yesterday!"

                Seriously Stupid Rant from Me.

                Totally made a super cute footprint art today with a 3 month old baby. Handed it to mom at pick up and all that she said was "okay". Well f******** you toooo! She hardly ever response to the photos that I send her throughout the day. And they are not paying my full current tuition rate. Mind you, momma drives a big truck and daddy drives a little race care looking honda thing, so there's money there. A@@hats. They will be termed by the end of the summer, I just needed to fill the spot and I just need this one family to sign and this family is GONE! SEE YA!

                Rant Finished.

                  Yep.. my favorite is long sleeved onsie and no pants or socks or anything. Seriously, your kid needs pants/shorts/ and a short sleeved shirt. It's warm out but not half naked warm.

                  Same kid as previous post.

                    Last week I had to send two minor injury reports to parents within one minute, because they happened at opposite ends of the room and I’m not Stretch Armstrong. And this is why I have approximately 30 linear feet of baby gates in my daycare.

                      Potty training is hell. Parents who believe their child is ready and bring them to daycare in underpants after 1 week of training at home (supposedly accident free — guess what, other parent already outed you, admitting she did have accidents last week) are the devil.

                      Believe it or not, no, I don’t want them to fail. But I’m also not scraping poop out of underwear because your child has shown zero initiative to use the potty here. Yes, they have access. No, I don’t want to hear excuses. No, it’s not negotiable. You signed that contract. If they can use the potty, they can do it wearing a pull up, too, without the mess.

                        4 1/2 year old boy who thinks he shouldn't have to do anything he doesn't want to do.

                        A 2 yo who hardly napped.

                        Same family and I'm not keeping them past this summer.

                          It has been a day full of tattling. After numerous reminders, they are now "reminding" their friends what they are doing wrong VERY loudly, multiple times in a row, while looking at me. I guess it's not technically tattling

                            And when I do correct someone, everyone else has to come look at who's "getting in trouble" and why. They all want to one-up each other. The joys of school-agers!

                              DCM at pickup: we’d like to do away with afternoon naps because DCG (just turned 3) is staying up too late in the evenings and we need time to relax.

                              🤣🤣🤣

                              Sorry, nap is non negotiable. Usually nap time is when I have a second to breath while I’m watching your child for 9 hours a day and when your child goes home, I have my own to deal with.

                              No thanks!
