Venting Thread

[Blackcat31]

5 month old has only slept for 15minutes this morning all the rest has been screaming/crying. He is past tired. Rocking, bouncing, singing, bottles, nothing. The minute he is almost asleep, he rolls over and gets on his knees and cries It could be yet another long day.

2.5 year old is sneezing and dripping snot on EVERYTHING I need to somehow attach a kleenex and snot catcher to him. He knows how to cover and how to ask or get his own kleenex, but he won't do it.

3.5 year old is crying on and off and playing the "feel sorry for me" card when asked to do something she doesn't want to. Ah, I don't think so honey. You are just fine-I've seen it.

I guess the other dck and I will have some fun playing playdough

I thought I heard someone screaming this morning....

Hang in there....Friday IS coming!

I know i have vented before, but ill vent some more. I am so tired of my SIL not giving me any kind of notice when she isnt going to bring my niece to daycare. Kind of makes it hard to plan things or get started if im waiting around for someone to not show up. I know shes lazy and probalby slept in and decided to just not bother bringing her, but this is my income here not to mention my kids love playing with her too. UR!
One of the reasons behind starting daycare with DHS was so she could come and hopefully i could get my MIL to spend more time with my kids, that hasnt happened at all

Dear dcb,

You need your sleep. You fought nap for a solid HOUR. Slept for an hour. And now you're awake an hour early.

GO TO SLEEP.

That is all.

After having to call parents to come get sick kids on Friday, having parents call on Sunday morning to ask if they can come back Monday morning, and if the kids will be able to stay all day as it's not easy for them to leave work to pick them up
Um yeah, because apparently it's easier for the rest of us (me and other kids) to deal with sick, whiney kids

Friday, Friday, Fridayhappyface

PMS and not walking away when the horse is dead::

[daycarediva]

thank you all!

Talk with dcm went well, of course she said she thought I had a backup (whom I had never use for scheduled days off in over two years?) she was given notice, because I refuse to allow myself to be treated that way. I'll be broke, but life is good!

How did she treat you badly? What did she do/say? I hope you feel better.

I called and left a message on her cell about 3 1/2 hours before dcg was scheduled to be dropped off. Then I called and left a message on her home phone. I asked that she call me back and let me know she received my phone call. Never called back, showed up at drop off acting like she had NO CLUE what I was talking about. She was screaming outside my house (loud enough to make DCG cry) about how unprofessional I was. Um, sorry I didn't repeatedly call you (at 5 am no less) until you answered the phone. Are you serious? She stomped off to her car VERY angry, then sent me several nasty texts later in the day about how unprofessional I was and that she always thought I was reliable and how I was probably faking it (!!!!!) and that she wasn't paying for the day (even though she is contractually obligated to do so) yada yada, I called her back and told her that she could drop off her check in FULL Friday/the next day and that it would be the last check she had to write to me. I also gave her a written notice that she signed saying that she was verbally abusive, and gave m licensar a heads up, just in case.

You think you know someone!!

Holy crap. That is beyond words ridiculous!!! So did she drop off the check for the full amount? Good for you for sticking up for yourself.

I have a 2 year old who has been here for a year. She requires a "written invitation" for every step of our day. Everyone else knows the cues of "snack time" "craft time" etc. and come running to their spots. She stays in the playroom doorway waiting for me to go and get her. I mentioned this to her mother who replied that she was proud to be raising an independent thinker. I, alternatively see it as an issue since it is EVERYDAY the same routine.

She also is severely underweight (has yet to triple her birth weight), very uncoordinated and holds a bolus of food in tightly clenched teeth without swallowing it. She will either start to cry when I tell her to open her mouth so I can sweep it out before putting her down for her nap or she will jam her hand into her mouth causing herself to vomit. Again I see issues and mum says she is just a high needs child.

I have anxiety issues with letting families go but I am at the point where I am feeling like I am ramming my head against a wall of denial.
