Why oh why do parents all of a sudden think it is okay to show up late. I am not your mother, own up and pay me on the spot, or don't do it!

I could scream! I have a child who is NEVER here on time. NEVER. And day to day, I plan on him being here, but never really know if he will for sure until AFTER he is supposed to be here. So, most times he is here SOMETIME between 8 and 9:30 in the morning. Today, he gets dropped off at 7:30. I have explained over and over and over that I need a consistant schedule! I need to know when he will be coming and I need them to be on time. I wasn't ready for him that early, but they had his older sister bring him to the door. It truly is the parents who cause the most stress. UGH!Comment

I also have a kiddo who is never here at the same time. They will text me... but it drives me crazy. They sent me a text today at 8 saying she just woke up so she will be here closer to 9.. my kiddos and other dcb are ready for snack at 9. She got here at 9:15. -_--Amanda.

Sigh, Just opened my daycare and it's not going so well. I did not realize how discouraging it would feel. Haven't had much inquiry for the daycare and when I did, people would be a fake, flake, or scammers. Thanks goodness I did my google search on all that inquiries. Just have one family that is okay, but they decided to go with another provider...sigh. I know I need to go through a lot of rejects before getting a good family but honestly this ****s right now. Just trying to keep my head up.Comment

no naps for an 8 month old!!!
I just started an 8 month old baby, that has never been away from Mom before. I just started her last week- She is very tough to get to sleep at all!!! The Mom came in this am and told me "it is totally fine with us, if you don't put her down at all" WHAT?????? Are you kidding me?? Now she asks me everyday, now did she fall asleep on her own, or do you rock her, etc..? I have told her I have tried everything rocking, walking around with her, etc... nothing works!! Today she asks at pick up, do you just let her cry it out? I said yes, but she only cried for like 5-10 min. She seemed like she wasn't thrilled with this- ughh!!!!! Let's see what she asks tomorrow and the next day and the next day, etc.. etc.... Already driving me insane and it's only her 3rd day here!!! She has been staying like 10-15 min. every am and pm, asking and asking me questions.She is a first time Mom, and asks everything under the sun!! The first day she asked now where does she sleep? I told her in a bedroom. What does she sleep in? How long does she sleep? She has 5 things she wants me to do for her before sleeping. Put a sleep sack on her, turn on music, give her a paci, give her a bottle right before napping, and give her the giraffe lovie blanket. The list goes on and on and on...... Where do you store her bottles, where do you store her milk? How do you heat up the milk? How do you feed the babies? Where do you feed them? What do you do with unused baby food? Do you heat it? Do you keep the unused food in the fridge? Do you put it in a bowl? Do you keep it in the plastic cont.? OMG!! This is all I can think of right now. There was more!!! WOW!!! I think tomorrow will be different, I will have her in her car seat ready to go and give her the rundown of the day, and get busy, or go in the house and say have a good night!!! UGHHH!!! Sorry, this should have been under the venting thread. I should add I have 4 children of my own and have provided in home daycare for over 10 yrs. now!!Comment

And one of those people don't even live in the same STATE as me!! WTH?????? :confused: I seriously don't know what is wrong with people. Can't they help me out?? Just a little?? Some "friends" I have...

Ugh!! DCM started a new shift and today was her 1st day so she made a HUGE deal about hopw she wanted to be early and get settled for her first day so she would drop DCB off at 6am (normal had been 830) instead of new normal 645ish. She reminded me all last week, I was getting annoyed in fact becuase she was reminding me so much. So this morning I get up at 530am (dragged myself out of bed more like) and get around so I'm ready @ 6. But when does mom show up? 630! Are you kidding me? I could have slept an extra half hour! It made me extra mad because she had been so concerned I'd forget all last week yet she's the one that wasn't on time!

Was she atleast apologetic about it at all?Comment

Still charged! I have the same policy for early drop off as no show/sick on regular scheduled days. Thank goodness too! That makes it a bit easier! Lol!
She didn't say a word about being late til I brought it up. Then she just said "well when my alarm went off I decided that was too early"Comment

Just Another Monday....
Hello All,
This is my first post in the forums here, and being Monday and all what better place to start than with a nice rant. 5 year old daycare boy was dropped off this morning, 6 am by dad, who forgot diaper bag with change of clothes. Dad said he would have mom drop off bag in 10 minutes. Hours pass, no diaper bag still. Boy pees pants (deliberately of course, as a punishment to me for putting him in time out...this is a regular occurence with this particular boy.) I put daycare boy in spare pull up, which he's way too old for, with no pants. Called dad and mom to let them know I need a change of clothes for their child. Mom FINALLY drops off diaper bag at 1 pm. And wouldn't you know it, no underwear in the bag, only a pair of absolutely filthy sweatpants! So now DCB is running around in a pull up and gross sweatpants for the remainder of the day.
The worst part is, the parents were not at all suprised by his accident, when I called to let them know I needed clothes they automatically assumed he had pooped his pants, not peed. Dad answers phone when I call and says, " Did ***** have diarrhea? I gave him laxatives with breakfast because he didn't poop yesterday. Hope he didn't make too big a mess for you!"
Really?! Geez, parents infuriate me more than the kids most of the time!
