15 month old is being extremely aggressive towards other kids all week. Taking toys, scratching when she doesn’t get her way, smacking and even pulled my hair TWICE. Texted mom about it on Monday. Her response was hmm that’s weird she doesn’t act like that at home.

Comes in this morning, pulled moms hair twice and scratched her sister. What was done about this?!? NOTHING!!!

Both girls I like this. I can’t deal with it.

"You get what you get and you don't get upset"
Oh my, how many times have I used this phrase this week!!!
*I* wanted the purple plate!!! *I* wanted the pink cup!!! Sorry kiddo, maybe next time. She cries for 10 minutes during lunch because she didn't get the pink cup. Dcg starts hugging her to make her feel better. It's bad enough that the parents coddle these twins so badly.
"she's fine" I say. Milk all tastes the same in whatever cup you get. So now I'm the big bad meanie.
I do NOT have time for these types of fusses.

Now now if you don't you will be told you are unfit for their child.
This is why I cannot wait to be done with this job.

I have. I have 3 that are over 1 now and 1 about to be 1. It is so hard to get them on a schedule. Parents are also a big factor.

I have 3 all 12 months and under right now ... they sleep better here than home because I refuse to coddle & hold. Of course during storms I have my fairy lights blinking so it helps a lot when it gets dark daytime (Solar inside - I put the sensor at the top of my windows). When my babes get older, they get mini flashlights to make them feel safe during thunderstorms

This would be a swift term.
I don't enroll babies that aren't familiar ad used to safe sleep. If the parent thinks they pulled a fast one, they'd be the one surprised when they are called for pick up every time the baby refuses nap during the day.

I had the day from hell yesterday with storms and all the night before. Then a parent picks up and gives me an immediate notice that her child won't be back. Gave me some half ass excuse she doesn't think it's a good environment for him. He is in school the majority of the time to begin with.i believe it's a cop out to get out of daycare because I'm closed sept14th for a wedding.

Do parents like holding their child 24/7? How do you get anything done? Why do you feel your baby needs to be held all the time? Do you ever wonder if this may be the reason your baby isnt developing motor skills- Why your 6 month old cant roll over..amongst other things?

I may stop enrolling infants..

Yep, babes go into bassinets or cribs... I don't have time to be rocking a child 2 hrs when the 3 others need my attention

When the parent tells you the baby sleeps in a crib and is safe sleep ready...but doesnt sleep at all! Then mom tells me “yeah she sleeps good at night, but during the day she only sleeps in our arms”
Gr!!

Yes dear parent I know this comes as a surprise but your child is well behaved after you leave. No they don't cry all day nor are they sad, pouting or demanding like they are when you're here. Do you really think I wouldn't tell you if they had a bad day...everyday? Believe me I would, and you'd be picking them up because I wouldn't deal with it. And if it continued.... I'd terminate. Oh yes I would. I love the little ones...but you dear parent are the most frustrating part of my day. Sorry for the rant

3 year old shows up with babydoll, small play purse and 3 lipsticks. Like really? In what world would it be appropriate to send her to daycare with lipstick? Glad it’s friday!

Yeah that is a nope.

Something is pooping in our sandbox.. there is no way it’s a cat as the specimens found on the daily are huge.

Two half days of preschool really? What is the point? I just don't get it.
