Could someone please tell me why a 14 month old, who is still learning to walk, needs to start learning about colors :confused:

My neighbor who works on cars just started up a VERY loud, VERY rough sounding car, gunned it a few minutes, then roared off. He's done it before in the morning, and the 1 yr olds are terrified of the sound... Guess who just woke up after just 45 minutes?

Gosh, I miss the chaos of doing Before & After school care. Although stressful at times, it gave me something to get out of my pjs for. Now I cannot for the life of me get another client(s). No matter how hard I advertise {without spending money I don't have}. Or how meticulous I go over my business cards, FB page & website, I'm dead in the water. Every "Duggar" mother in this area has the same idea, just add multiple kids of their own and 15+ whatever experience. It's so frustrating. I miss hearing "Ms. Lisa!!" and I miss a house full of chaos.

At pick up today I asked a dad about the annual update packet I gave him several weeks ago. He says "Oh, does that need to be filled out?"

: "Oh the packet I never read that's shoved between my kids art work, some mail from last month and a couple insurance documents on the side of my desk? You mean you didn't just print out these forms for me to ignore since it pertains to the care and wellbeing of my child?"

Exactly what I wanted to say to him!Comment

Remind me why I don't do Friday interviews ...
I know I need spots filled ( really hurting for $), I know it sounds good, but damn it... it's Friday night and you as a Parent, yes the one who needed care this Sunday, blew off the meet and greet set less than 24 hours ago at your request (verified 4 hrs later by email). Yeah, I have it on my website, Tue-Thu only first meetings, and only after 7pm... and yes you have my phone #.
It's a Big safety issue for me & my babies. Thank goodness I request you call within an hour before our interview to get my exact address (I give general location only when we chat)... I am sticking to my Tue-Thu meet & greet, screw blowing my night off.
BTW, This makes 5 out of the last 6 families no show/no call in less than 10 days... the one family that showed is Drop-in onlyComment

Why do I always feel like I'm preparing for battle? Whether it be with the kids (rarely, thankfully) or the parents, I'm feeling more & more like every little thing will be a huge issue....Comment

Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh! I can't catch a break today! First my next-door neighbor's LOUD lawn service came, then my kitty-corner-back neighbors had a tree service come with their LOUD machines (2+ hours and still going) and now the first neighbor has guys hammering, drilling and etc on their house. Seriously people!!!Comment

It's Tuesday but around here it feels like a Monday. 6 yr old dcg comes in an emotional mess crying and dad has no idea why says she woke up that way. Gave her 30 minutes to calm down, she ate breakfast then proceeded to start back up again and then vomited all over. Mom wasn't thrilled when I called for pick up. I'm so tired of this families issues.Comment

6 yo dcb fibs all the dang time. About stupid little things. I have told him for the past 3 years if he always fibs no one will ever EVER believe him. Well, nobody believes him and he wonders why. The other day he was telling the older kids he doesn't use a booster seat in the car anymore. Swore up and down. So when they arrived the other day, dcm took the seats out of her car and put them in her trunk. So I asked dcb about it and he just kinda smirked. It's just stupid stuff. But he lies about everysingledamnthing. And the fun part is his 3 yo sister is doing the same thing now. I come right out and tell him all the time, that I cannot believe what he says.
This summer I have 2 dcgs who I've had several years. The mom is very sweet. But to the point where she does everything for them. They want to bring stuff from home(which I do allow but that's another topic)but refuse to lug it in(or out). I asked the older dcg yesterday to please help us clean up from a painting project, she's 7, she walked into the playroom and ignored my request. Then when I went in to corral her, she gets all glum and pouty. Really???? Do you not do ANYTHING at your house? But she's the 1st kid to complain about being bored.Comment

Monday morning after a 4 day weekend. DCB 7 yr comes in declaring "I watched fireworks four days in a row!" This being a child who often goes to bed by 7:30 and is a bear and has night terrors when over-tired. Awesome. This should be fun. His 3 yr old brother comes in ten minutes later (different dads), with Mom saying "he should nap really good. He didn't really take a nap all weekend". This from a child who takes really long solid naps, is also a bear without sleep, and was really sick all last week.
Fan Freaking Tastic.Comment

Dd is special needs and I hire a tutor to come to my home once a week to help with her studies. This is costly and Dh and I give up a lot so that dd can have this. Unfortunately the tutor is only available during my daycare hours and every single week I have the same dcg scream the whole time the tutor is here. Dcg can be having a great day, she may even be napping, but for one reason or another she always ends up screaming. Last week I took her outside when she started up bc she was the only kid here. Her screaming was so bad that a few neighbors came out to see what was going on. I thought the police were going to be called!Comment
