Venting Thread

[rhymia1]

I started three siblings two weeks ago. No prior DC experience. Oldest is almost 4 and spolied! The twins(2) are cute, but very upset/sad all.day.long
They won't eat my food (only eat pasta,breads and crackers at home )Cry and gag through quiet time unless the tv is on (and even then one of the twins cries off and on) The other kids in my day care are starting to get upset, and take on the behaviors they are seeing Ugh. It's been awful. I can deal with certain things, but unhappy kids I think are beyond me

I really am starting to not like Mondays. The newest family is awesome, but I'm pretty sure they hold baby all weekend. He will not sleep or eat very well on Mondays and his poor eyes are so red and swollen from being tired

I hate Mondays as well! Seems every family is looking to extend their hours on Mondays as if spending the weekend with their child was tough or something :confused:

I have 10 different families and 8 of them asked to extend their pick up time today by atleast an hour. They pay for it but still......

I have a few that have started coming 11 hours-my total opening time. The thing is, they are legitamalty working!!!! Working 55+ hours a week is all I seem to do anymore.

I told my husband I need a personal assistant because I'm not able to keep up with my calendar of family obligations and work. Being a CEO is getting harder and harder-

I worked 74 hours last week. That doesn't include off hours cleaning and prep. All of my families are actually working as well. They are volunteering for OT and picking up PT jobs as well.

This crap makes me lose my mind on fb. A stay at home mom on fb with two kids 3yrs and younger posted this:

"It's never any easier the 2nd time around. Poor *1.5yr old childs name* screamed and cried when I dropped her off at school. Normally she is fine when we drop off *3 yr old child's name* cuz she gets to leave w/mommy. Not this time. Mommy is sad. But the upside is I have the whole day kid free. What should I do??"

And in the comments she posted:

"Yup 9-3 it's mommy time!! Got tons of around the house projects to do. Oh and nap. Lol"

DAYCARE ISN'T AROUND SO YOU CAN NAP!!!

God this stuff makes me so mad. She doesn't work and when she had just her 1st kid her husband asked her to go back to work. So before her first kid turned one she worked on getting pregnant so she wouldn't have to go to work. She'd brag about how she was $50k in debt from college 10yrs ago but she wanted to be a stay at home mom so bad so shed just file extensions to not pay off student loans. She got pregnant and didn't go to any interviews she had scheduled. WISH I WAS LYING.

I stopped being her in real life friend after that.

This crap just makes me angry.

So sick of it

Reg but logged out.. So annoyed with everyone today. Kid 1 shows up in shorts, flip flops, and a t shirt... It's 58 degrees out! Sibs 2 and 3 show up with a fistful of toys from home, and two huge blankets- the ones I sent home yesterday bc they were sitting in a closet at my house for over a year unused. Kid 4 arrives okay, but is so shy and clingy to me that she whines all day. We go out to play and she jus stands there and whines the whole time outside.

I'm sick of saying the same things 1000 times. Stop trying to play in my garden- you are 3! It's not a hard concept.

I'm sick of crappy parenting. Parent your kids. Teach them skills. I don't understand why a 3.5 year old cant get dressed, slip on their own shoes, or do anything on their own. Lazy lazy parents.

I'm sick of waking up at 6am so I am ready for you by 7, only to have you show up at 9 without a call. When I confronted you, you said you need me at 7:30 every day, and then you show up at 8:15. You are rude.

I'm sick Of you always trying to short me my money. I'm tired of having to collect it. Pay your bill on time. Just once.

I'm sick of daycare kids getting my family sick, then I have to close, lose a day of pay, and pay a copayment to the doctor.

I'm sick of you drugging your kids up in the morning and dropping them off.

I have great parents with annoying kids, crappy parents with amazing kids, and crappy parents with annoying kids. Can't I get one 100% good family just once? I'm so sick of this job. I daydream about what I would do if I didn't have to do this anymore. Ugh! Gotta get my kids all in school and I'm going back to working with civilized people. I'm so sick of being taken for granted and taken advantage of.

What is the deal with the zippers on kids' coats these days? Every single one of my kids has an impossible-to-zip zipper on their fall jacket . How in the world am I supposed to teach them how to zip it themselves if I can't even do it? Grrr.

DCM and Dcd are not together and he lived in a different state. He is here visiting DCB for the week so I dony have dcb at all this week and they are not paying for his spot as DCM said DCD is not giving her any money for times that DCB is not here when he is with dad. When she originally came to interview it was not in my contract that she had to but when she enrolled 4 months later the contract was changed and evidently she didn't read before signing it but I let it go because we are moving soon but need the income until we leave.

Anyways, DCM texts me at 7:38 this morning asking if I.will watch dcb for two hours this morning so Dcd can go to the gym. Um, no! I'm off all week and I happen to be in bed sick until my DH goes to work later because although I didn't catch the bad cold my ds had I did catch the one your child had so I am spending my time off miserable.

OMGosh!!! Two year olds are going to do me in!!! I honestly think it's my least favorite age, 2 and 3. And it's the age I have the most of! Ugh! They are so unreasonable and seem so out of control! Ugh! They really have been at it the last few weeks! I need a change of some kind I think! Not sure what to do!

I really, really want this week to end. I can't believe it's only Tuesday.

[rhymia1]

It's been raining all morning, one of the kids has been crying all morning. Another has been whining all morning. One will not stop wrestling. I've tried to do the usual indoor physical activities but they are getting so crazy kids are getting hurt.

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
