Venting Thread

LICE!!!!! And the parents knew their daughter had them for 4 days before my dcg apparently left my house Thursday "crawling with lice". Only when I told them no-one here has had lice they owned up to their school aged dd had them but they thought dcg 2 had escaped them. Thanks for forking up my weekend and costing me $ 160.00 closing on Friday to start the cleaning process. Ugg I should charge them my income loss.

My vent is in the attachments.. SERIOUSLY Mother Nature it is APRIL. I am OVER this. We were predicted 8-12 last week but only ended up with 7 but STILL. This is our punishment for not having snow until practically the end of December.

Sharing your vent right now. Last night rain. Tonight forecast of 6" of snow. WTH.

Oh wow, I won't complain. I just saw your 18-30"!!!!! I'll take the 6, thank you. Making snowmen on Monday?

Just me here.. venting about snow.. in the middle of April.. I know I live in WI but I have never seen this much snow at once in my lifetime. I live in the middle of the lovely white part..

It's not hard to understand at all.
They just think it applies to everyone else and not them.

I told him no "pad" for nap because he kept announcing he wasn't napping he was playing on his "pad" Um, nope.

What part of "This day care does NOT take children who have outgrown nap" is too hard to understand?!
Seriously.

Yup. Makes no sense to me. Family didn't pay late fee yesterday. I sent an email reminding them that it was due and child would not be able to attend until it is paid. It's so stupid that parents put us in the position in the first place.

And then we it ends badly because they get bent out of shape because you enforce their rules its your fault.
I cannot say how many times things got off track because parents didn't want to follow rules they been following or because they wanted "Special".

Same here! Then we are the bad guys!
I had a parent forget to pick up yesterday!!!
So the story is single dad has his parents helping him raise his daughter while he is in school and working.
He meets a girlfriend and now she is responsible for drop offs and pickups. Grandma usually picks up(is never late ever and she is commuting an hour plus). Girlfriend is scheduled to pick up yesterday and FORGOT!!!!
Grandpa rushes over and gets her within 20 minutes when the girlfriend doesn't show up. I gave him a warning and said next time I will charge late fees. How do you forget someone's kid? They also showed up with her on Monday when she isn't supposed to normally be here. Give me a break man!

Tell me about It! It has either been freezing rain or snow every weekend in April so far, and this weekend is no different. We are currently experiencing 15 MPH winds along with the der, lightening, downloading rain and marble sized hail. Tonight it turns to snow, and tomorrow we alternate between freezing rain and snow into Sunday. Maybe by June it will be warm again 😔

More of an annoyance than a vent, but why does DCM always tell me how sweet, cute, lovable, etc. her DCG is. I spend 10 hours/day with her, I know she's sweet, but she's no different than any other 1 yr old. She'll just stand there for a few minutes and stare at her as she's playing, like she's mesmerized by how "perfect" her she is. Btw: it's her 4th child, not her 1st! Drives me crazy!

My nephew is the same way. His mom gave him Kool-Aid and Hawaiian Punch in his baby bottles, fed him McDonald's French Fries every day, candy and chocolate pudding. He refuses all other foods, and when he was 2 she took him to be evaluated and he was diagnosed with SPD. I 100% believe this to not be an accurate diagnosis because when he would come to us for weekend to week long visits he would start off refusing to eat but by the end of the weekend he was eating what was served to him. He realized we weren't going to give in and give him junk. Now at 5, years of his mother's lazy parenting have destroyed his eating habits, he has fillings or caps on every baby tooth in his mouth, and his mom still believes he has an autisim spectrum disorder instead of stepping up and parenting.

That is the WORST kind of parenting. I have a few friends like that. One of my girlfriends had to take her son to the local children’s hospital to be put out for dental work on his baby teeth. Like needed a root canal at the age of 5. He lives of Reese cups. My 8 and 4 year old have never had a cavity.

I have one of those kids too but it’s because the parents literally feed him junk and he won’t anything else. He lives off kool-aid, candy and gummy snacks.

Yep, she walked in with a bag of potato chips the other day. I threw them away.

I'm just in a pissy mood today.

I've posted about dcg (2 y 5 m) that lives on milk bottles at home. If I'm lucky, she will eat 1 strawberry or 1 grape the whole day, nothing to drink. I sit her at the table for b, l ,pm snack. She just sits there and stares at her plate. A year ago she was the best eater, ate everything. Now, nothing. I hate fixing her plate just to throw away.
