parents annoy me!
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!- Flag

Several years ago I had an assistant. She was okay, but not great. I would not hire her back. She quit on me to go work in a doctors office, which she felt would give her more "professional" experience.She wound up getting fired because she couldn't handle to duties necessary for the job. I wasn't surprised because anytime it got a little dicey here, she would get squirrely.
My vent - She keeps using me for a reference. I wish she wouldn't because I can't think of a nice way to tell the person calling that I can't recommend her.:

Again with the skinny jeans on dcg2. She can pull down sweats, but can't pull them up. So freaking aggravating. Glad I have 4 days left with her. Mom can deal with her wardrobe and pottying then. I doubt she'll be in skinny jeans then. Mom's due with a baby any day now...- Flag

I have the sweetest, most docile little 3 yo dcg whom I love. My only complaint about her is every time anyone says anything to her, she responds, "Huh?" Every. Single. Time. I will have eye contact with her, speak slowly and clearly, and it's "huh?" I know its not her hearing, because lately I've been asking her, "what did I just say?" and she repeats back what I just said. I don't know if it has become a habit or what, but it's driving me and the rest of the kiddos crazy!!- Flag

Today is my Monday and I can't stand today and it needs to end soon!*stomping feet*.
My infant won't stop crying, the 2.5b yo keeps telling me "no", the other 1.5yo kid cries and goes limp when ever I wipe his nose or have to move him, dd is only half listening and dh is really getting on my nerves and he isn't even here...Today NEEDS TO END NOW!
Thank you.- Flag

I normally have 2 families drop off between 7:30-7:50. Then, the next family doesn't come until after 8 (between 8 and 8:15). This morning ALL of them were walking up to the door at 7:30. DD is home from preschool this week for spring break (she is normally gone Mon, Wed, and Fri from 8:30-12:30). I had to pull out Imaginext buildings out of the daycare after the first thirty-five minutes, and I was close to getting rid of the car bin shortly after that. I didn't even get to have my first sip of coffee until 8:54 - I normally have my cup all gone by 8. I have a feeling this week is going o be horrendous. Way to be positive, right?- Flag

Last Monday my 7am pulled into the driveway at 6:58 (didn't come in until 7). This Monday it's now 7:20 and they aren't here yet. My next one today isn't until 7:45. I could've slept in.- Flag

My DCK does the same thing. This morning at drop off, her parents remarked that she cried every time the mom did anything but hold her all morning. Read between the lines that that meant she just held her all morning. So guess who got to deal with that?
Set her down to help another kid get her coat and shoes off and apparently she was dying based on her screams. Sheesh.- Flag

Child is screaming like she's being beaten if she gets within two feet of the floor, or if I walk past her without picking her up, or look at her without picking her up.
Guess who's getting an early lunch and an early nap? Thank goodness for a weird day today....- Flag

Just charged my first late fee in the entire almost year I've been open. It was dcm of two dck's I've only had 4 weeks. Dcm was exactly 20 minutes late... she called at the 17 minute mark and said "sorry, there was an incident at my older sons school. I'll be there in 10 minutes". My reply was "ok see you then".
She got here and wanted to chit chat... Ugh... I interrupted her and said "I really need to get the other kids ready to go home since I didn't have a chance to. Don't forget the $20 late fee in the morning so that I can take the boys tomorrow!"
She looked at me like :confused: "late fee??"
"Yep, since pick up is 3:00 any time after that is $5 per child for every per 15 minute portion. $20. See you tomorrow!"
Ugh, yeah i don't work for free, lady.- Flag
