    We are scheduled to leave for Florida on Sunday. Of course we are supposed to get a "clipper" overnight Saturday into Sunday. Snow more near where we are leaving from. Dear God, I just want to get out of the snow!!!

            Gee Son of mine- I've been open 9 years & you lived here for the first 7 1/2 of those. Naptime has been the same time every one of those days. So I'm sorry if my greeting wasn't too darn warm & fuzzy when you walked in talking on your cellphone 20 min into Naptime. No- I'm not annoyed in the least you woke up both babies & re energized the 2 y/o who hates naps & now didn't go to sleep at all.

              Dear dcb,

              No, I will not give you food every hour on the hour. If you really are as hungry as you say, then when the next meal/snack time arrives, you will eat more than 3 bites before saying that you are full. If you do that, you will not be hungry an hour later. I know that you don't get food every hour at pre-K, so why do you ask for it here?

              TGIF. I'm done.

                ....it lead to termination.

                They will be notified next week. (I have to find "just the right" words to use in my letter so I notice hasn't been given just yet.)

                I can manage an occasional naughty word now and then.....

                ......but I can NOT manage a parent (or two) who feel reprimanding their potty mouthed child is stifling his creative expression and denying him his right to convey his feelings.

                I'm pretty sure Jesus would agree with me here.

                  I mentioned a consignment sale I do twice a year to a dcm...her response "Oh I couldn't do that. I WORk full time and have him (referring to DCB)". Yeah...because I don't work or have two kids, right. Its just that I work typically 50 hours a week and have 2 kids as opposed to one but you know, I'm not doing as much. Ugh it annoys me to no end that parents think I'm not working.

                    Oh, I hope you got out! I'd love to fly down to FL but I'm afraid I'd never want to come back!

It's going to be a very long and hungry day! :dislike:
                      That must have been a long day for you! I hope all is okay.

                        Idk how much longer I can tolerate the behavior of this child. He's HORRIBLE. If his mom wasn't so great and trying so hard, he would've been gone already. I'm trying to hold out until May when my new infant starts, just so I don't lose the income. But sometimes money isn't worth your sanity.

                          I took yesterday off/scheduled since January. A dcm came in this morning and the following conversation ensued
                          dcm "What did you have to do yesterday?"
                          me "What do you mean?"
                          dcm "well you were closed...."
                          me "Oh, nothing. My kids and dh had the day off so I thought it would be nice to spend the extra day together."
                          dcm "Must be nice!"
                          me "That's how I feel about your Fridays."

                          It slipped out before I realized what I was saying- child attends FT even though Mom works M-TH. She has EVERY FRIDAY to herself. I get that she shops, cleans, does laundry and catch up things, but not all day, and not every Friday. Her dh also takes Fridays off and they spend the day together or do their own thing. REALLY LADY!!?
