      dcb4 that I have had since birth come in kicking/screaming and mom wanted me to deal with it...NOPE, I will not peel him off of you....she says " he is mad because his school-age sister is home"....Your problem NOT MINE, lady! She said "I have to go to work"....YEP you do, but your husband didn't and he is home. She ended up carrying him and putting him on the couch and left him there where he still is!!!!!!! NO I did not reply with what I have stated here but I sure was thinking it::::::::

      There is lots of ice and snow here which we are NOT used to. NO kids came yesterday and only 3 today so after being off Pres. Day, it has been a slow week!

        It's amazing that these parents can not figure out how much it hurts to know that Mom or Dad is at home and don't want them there!

          At least you got to open AnnaLee.. we got so much Ice just north of you, that I have been without power since Monday ( all the parents had called off that day thankfully), however it looks like I have to stay closed as I won't get power back until at least tomorrow and i have lost most the food in the fridge - I'm sitting in a hotel loosing income and it ****s, however no way in hell will I sleep in a house reading 23 when outside is suppose to be -20 in the morning I did that for 2 nights hoping, but now I am worried about pipes freezing and busting on top of food loss. My insurance agent hasn't opened either due to power outages, so I may not be able to file a claim til next week; by then we will know damages

            Our county had 4000 without power between sun and tues...but all have it now I think. It is snowing hard here right now on top of the ice. We will be out of school all week. I love snow but do not like ice!

              Yep, I have come a long way in not letting it bother me when parents bring their kids when they are off by setting up my contract to alleviate most issues BUT I will NOT succomb to pulling children off their parents because of it. I made mom deal with the entire issue. She DID NOT like it either. I could have dealt with it because he would NOT have kicked me but his actions were the consequences of her decision!!!!

                Newly 2 yo dcb needs constant redirection lately. If I have to say "no take" or "go play" one more time I'll scream...

                  Or when the promise to 'come early' to do something fun when they're off and never show, or show 15 minutes early.

                  They're people- they have feelings!

                    So true. Unfortunately, "Mom time, Dad time, 'our' time" is so much more important that kid time to some parents. I am all for parents getting some of "their" time, even on a daycare day every once in a while, but for God's sake, DON'T tell your 4-year old that Mommy or Daddy is staying home while the kid goes to daycare!

                      So dcm your not willing to risk your job by taking off or going in late but it's okay for me to risk mine by giving dcb3 a medication to control his cough when you know I'm not allowed to give him anything without a doctor's note and the medication is for 6 and over! Nope come get him.

                        Parents seem to try to slip the meds in the diaper bag and mention it as they are walking out the door. My response is "if he needs the meds I'll let you know so you can pick up. Thanks! Have a great day!"

                            Dear Boss,
                            I know you hate your job. I know you can't wait till your wife is done with med school so you can move out of the state and become the spanish teacher you really want to be. I know you are not "qualified" for this and literally count the days till you leave. But for the love of Zeus can you please ACT like you care? Act like this place isn't your jail cell. Seriously, like fake it if you have to. You come in looking like a stressed out Eeyore, heaven forbid I have to tell or ask you something. I try not to be a pest but I seem to be the only one here who cares at this point. I take my small little job very seriously and I think i'm good at it but I can never tell. I'm older than you and it really shows sometimes. I wish you would stand up to parents, stop hiding and moping around. Stop making this all feel like a burden. Its bringing bad mojo into my classroom and frankly bumming me out too.

                            /Vent,
                            ME

                              Doorbell rings this morning , I open it and see dcb standing there alone . I look up and see the adult parked in the road she waves and gets in the car and drives off .
                              My driveway is at least 100ft long and she sent him down by himself .

                              Why would an adult think this is o.k. ?

                                I had a dcm owe me money (didn't pay Friday, owed money + fee on Monday). Drop her child on the porch and RUN down the walkway to her car. THANK GOD the bus was late and SA dck saw him, because he was going to play in the snow and was NOT coming in the house!!! I called her and all of her contacts on repeat until I got ahold of her and DEMANDED she come pay me or come get him (policy). She was soooo embarrassed. Dck also told his grandparents at pickup what dcm did. Dcgrandma was like
