SAME!!!! Had my FALL party last week; told dh to bring home candy just in case but most trick-or-treaters go to my mom's next door; she's nicer than me LOL I'm just 'kidded' out by 4:30 each day.....but I deal with the business aspect of my job, too, but my mom does the cooking and consoling/playing/fun part. SO.....I'm raady to CHILL the minute daycare is OVER plus I have a dentist appt late this evening too. OUCH! -
I'm not feeling Halloween today. I have a headache, I didn't sleep good, and I don't feel like doing anything. I'm glad I'm closing early today. -
Lol so you know they needed to cancel?
I have sent out reminders via email but I didn't have time to send one yesterday. I just recently started getting phone numbers and texting to schedule phone calls and tours. -
It’s frustrating! I started sending “confirmation” texts the day of that they could reply YES or NO to confirm the meeting. It’s helped tremendously so I don’t waste my time.
They look like this:
“Please confirm your appointment with ABC Childcare on Tuesday, October 31, 2023 at 5:30 PM. Reply YES to confirm or NO to cancel”
My SIL also owns a daycare in the town over from me. There was one fine this family reached out to her and me for a tour. They did the tour with her first and she found out they lived in her area. Naturally, they had signed up with her. The day came for the tour. They never canceled with me. So I sent them the “automated” text and they canceled. I love doing it this way! -
I have to stop being so nice. I did not want to meet with the family for a few reasons but partly because they wanted 50 hours a week when DCM was not working. But I agreed to talk with them, then they forgot and I only talked to DCM while she was parked in a random parking lot. She then asked for a virtual tour of my place because she did not want to drive out to my home. Okay fine, I will do it but not for a few days, I have a full schedule so I squeezed them in.
Yep, when I logged in they did not log in, so I had to text again, to find out that they found someplace else. I swear, sometimes I wish I could charge a no-show fee like doctors' offices. How hard is it to message and cancel?Leave a comment:

I've had a full-house yesterday and today and tomorrow as well....not the norm for me so I'm famished already! I was famished just thinking about it happening!!!! -
Yeah, I used to do the folder thing or have them schedule a time to come complete the forms but most want me to send the documents via email. I have since created forms on jotform for about me, kidkare, and permission slips but the 2 state forms I have to send them as attachments. -
I give parents a folder with all of the forms printed out for them and put post-it notes on everything with specific instructions on what to do. For example, on my Parent Handbook, the post-it note reads. "Please read and initial each page to indicate you've read, understood and agree to follow the policies outlined in the handbook. Return the handbook with your child's enrollment forms." I always have to ask for the handbook and half the time, the parent hasn't initialed the pages. It's frustrating. -
Tuesdays are my busiest day and I'm always glad when it's over

That happened to me yesterday. From the minute they walked into the classroom at 8:00 in the morning they were all cranky and seemed to have left listening ears at home. Just one of those days when I had to go home, pour me a large glass of Pinot Grigio and start thinking about my vacation. I love my job and the kids but yesterday was just one of those days. -
Sorry I am partial over concerned, dcd admitted they went on a vacation, so mom was okay.
The poop however was not breastmilk only poop, it was thick, smooth (not seedy) and ranked like a dead skunk. Her butt was beat red and she cried the whole time she pooped.
I suggested it was a tummy ache, that she was fed a solid that she reacted to because bad breastmilk would still be seedy. They were shocked because Grandma was told not to feed her any solids. I also suggested they talk to the doctor.
But at this point it doesn't matter because this was her last
week. -
I’m confused as to what is your concern? Could dcm have been in the hospital? The crying when pooping could be from a tummy ache since it’s coming from a bottle versus a boob. -
Really how hard is this?
I created a template email for enrollment that I just copied and pasted into my email. I attach any forms that are not linkable. Lately, I have not gotten all the forms completed and I have to remind/ ask them to complete everything.

So as the day went on yesterday, I couldn't shake the feeling that I needed to do something but felt CPS was not the right call. So I referred the baby (7months tomorrow) to the local school district for an evaluation. She isn't where she should be developmentally Hopefully Dcm will be open to it.
It is also bugging me that she cried and did not grunt when she pooped on Monday.
She's just going to be one of those kids that make me wonder if I could have done more.

Now for the 4-year-old, who is in Kinship care, she was terribly mean to DS and he retaliated. DCGma tells me at pick up that DCG saw her mom for the first time over the weekend. People tell me these things at or before drop-off, this info helps me with caring for your child.Leave a comment:
