What’s that even mean? Lol

Everyone was picked up early today except I have 2 left and both their parents are off today 😑

I think she didnt want to commit to picking up at a certain time, so "just to be on the safe side", she said she would pick up at closing time

Funny how sometimes the last kids in care are the ones who don't need it

Dcb is going to be the last one picked up and probably right at closing time "to be on the safe side."

Dcm doesn't even work. Grrr.

DCG 4.5 was out yesterday due to ear pain. She was dropped off Monday and mom said she’s been complaining since Saturday that her ear hurts. I said well she probably needs to see a doctor for an ear infection or swimmers ear. She complained about it all day and told dad at pick up that DCG was really upset and should see a doctor. Somewhere between Tuesday night and weds morning they made a trip to the ER for a ruptured eardrum. It seriously annoys me that they waited until her ear drum ruptured to seek medical care. They have insurance (it’s been mentioned before dad has great insurance benefits but hates his job) so the fact that they were just this lazy is mind boggling to me.

The moment when a DCM unironically tells you how much working 5 days in a row ****s.

[Cat Herder]

I only have one today, same deal. DCM, when she notices no one else was on the sign-in sheet says "Oh, she's going to love having you all to herself. How fun!!"

No, DCM, today will be miserable because she will still be expected to play independently in centers, go outside for large muscle activity, take a nap and clean up toys after herself.

How do they not get that? ::

One guess who is now back in backward footed PJ's. So nasty.

Just need to vent. Normally I would take today off since yesterday was a holiday. We went to Europe in May/June for 2 weeks and the planning for that was overwhelming so i forgot to schedule today off when sending out my summer schedule. I already knew the majority of the children would be gone so I sent a text to the remaining 2 families apologizing for being so late in my planning and saying most of the children would not be here, offering to take today unpaid for everyone but said, since this was late notice, I would work if absolutely needed (but would also have to charge everyone if I’m open). Of course the 2 families said they absolutely needed me. Of course it’s my first arrivals and last pick ups. Of course they dropped off and aren’t working. I know I shouldn’t be annoyed, that I should have expected this, and should have just taken the day off. I’m experienced enough to know this is always how it goes but I’m still trying really hard not to grit my teeth.

You should text them and say that due to low numbers and the fact that no one is using you for work purposes today you will be closing after nap. You're the boss. You can do that!

Why do i have to cry when im frusterated or mad. Why cant i just be mad its impossible for me to talk when i am mad or frustrated because i will just start crying. I put in a claim for my furniture warrenty and because i used the wrong wording, it was denied. This is why people need to physically look at things. im not a craftsman idk what the wording is for couch parts. When i tried to explain that, its didnt matter. Such scams

Employee put in her notice to quit and we have noticed that within the last few weeks she has posted stuff that's really offended a lot of us and she got confronted today about something that she posted about and denied it and we Found out that someone has gone and told things that were not to be told. Some of the girls are younger than me and think that they don't have to do their job and f they get told something they get mad

Is it a full moon?

DCM1: I’ll be here at 12:30 to pick up DCG.
I text DCM at 12:30, are you still coming?
Her reply, yes sorry I got side tracked. I won’t be there until 1:30. Ok please be quiet coming in since it’s nap time. Comes barging I’m waking up the twins. Ok thanks mom.

DCM2: comes barging in at 2:00 pm to drop of DCB when he always here by 9:30. I assumed he wasn’t coming since I didn’t get a response. He screams and throws a fit, of course waking up the twins yet again and she turns around and takes him home.

Seriously people. Respect my rules. I can’t make this stuff up.

What is even the point of dropping off at 2pm? This isn't a babysitter drop in service when you need to run errands for a few hours! I had 2 families who did this to me often and they did me in!

18 months on a personal debt payment plan, set to be paid off, again (kids college/cars, medical), in 6 months. So close.

You guessed it. Back to month 1. I did not go backward, yet, but lost my progress.

I had to replace the fridge, stove, washer, dryer, coffee/end tables, three rugs and two mattresses this year. I did manage to sell my truck to offset some damage.

BUT, now we need a new roof and 3 massive trees must come down (will require professionals). My DH can fund half of the roof, but that still leaves me back underwater for who knows how long. Grr.. Plans.

Off now for some sweets and an attitude adjustment. I know so many have it so much worse. We have been in this house 13 years, it was coming.

I hear you. I knew with my mom's estate I could retire and we could breathe a little easier.

Oh, no. My husband's truck has been in the shop several times and he keeps whining about needing new tires. We bought a new Subaru to cut the mileage and gas on his truck. He doesn't want to drive it. He picked it out.

I put my mom's car in my name, registration, and insurance so my sister can drive it. One week later the transmission goes out. Not worth repairing.

We decided to keep Mom's condo in PS. We lost power in one room. DH and SIL spent hours trying to find cause. Hire electricians, spent 4 hours, couldn't find it. They come back with a tracer and find a broken wire inside a wire nut on a ceiling fan that was installed 35 years ago.

Dh takes my van in for an oil change. Next day I smell oil burning and assume they spilt oil. No, rear main seal went out. DH picks up his truck and drops off my van to the mechanic.

SIL comes home from work after a 14 hour day yesterday and takes a shower. He slipped and fell, putting his knee through the fiberglass tub. At least he didn't fall through the glass enclosure.

I just see $$$$ flying out the window.

Good thing, we sold my mom's house for $37.5K over asking price and we're closing escrow 28 days after we put it on the market.

2 year old. One of only two kids here today. Everyone else out on vacation or with GP's. Walking in circles with toy cell phone yelling "You better show. I'm tired of this bullship. You late, you fired. Now! Now! No! Now!"

Time to put the phones away for a bit. Gave her a doll and book, she ripped it's leg off and sat on the book. Lego's it is.

Her Dad owns a construction company.
