Yes, but we had three people no call/no show on Friday so we're already down and there were two other people who called in elsewhere in the center. The biggest issue though, is that there are a lot of behavior issues in my room (it's gotten a lot better and is still improving), and quite a lot of the staff are not able to keep the class under control. There are backups (other than having me work 10 1/2 hours) for that room, but I'd rather have the overtime. I have an expensive hobby to pay for. Although they did have to use the backup opener for a while I could get there. I live 45 minutes away if traffic is good.

Rude DCM:
PLEASE stop sweeping into our room in the middle of things making a huge ruckus every morning. I did say that DCG is missing out on a lot because she doesn't show up til 10 am and its true. I don't know why it's that hard for you to get her out of the house by 9 am but that's not my problem.
It IS, however, my problem that you opened the door, saw 18 other kids seated quietly on the carpet facing me and then proceeded to yell at DCG for something that was totally your fault, loudly interrupt me to ask common-sense questions, slam things around at her cubby, rehash the fact that your husband AGAIN took DCG's glasses home and make me take time to tell you so AGAIN, yell goodbye loudly to DCG and then slam the door.
I'm going to start the loudest, most obnoxious song I can with the kids every morning when I see your buggy eyes at the doorway. :dislike:Comment

STOP COUGHING IN MY FACE!!!!
(From kids who are old enough to know better and have been taught and shown how to use their elbow or hands repeatedly. I expect it from the littles and have appropriate deflecting tactics :
: they don't work as well with the older kids)

DCM is ALWAYS complaining about not seeing enough of dcb...And yet, dcm has every second Friday off (working the Saturday instead) and still chooses to send him to me. So instead of having two days with her son, she chooses just to have one. Love having him here, but really can't stand dcm's hypocrisy.Comment

I just had to clean poop off my ceiling...yes, my ceiling. DCB is on day three of undies here, and had a really, really messy accident. Apparently in the process of taking off his pants, some flung up there. I feel like bleaching my whole house right now.Comment

Yesterday DCG wasn't here and it was so nice.
She's back today and already the drama has started.
She's only here until June but I'm tempted to try to replace *now*

Funny how one small little human can impact the entire group/atmosphere that way.... :confused:
I have one of those too... I always thing "its not so bad" and then they are absent, and I am always surprised at the difference in the others.....and my attitude as well.Comment

I keep getting quiet a few calls daily inquiring about my old in-home daycare (which never really took off, so I found work elsewhere, thus closing) and its really making me question what I want to do at this point.
YMCA PROS:
- Close to home (8 min away)
- I bring my daughter to work & she's part of the program for free.
- I love the kids like they are my own. I have an insane bond with some of them.
- Free to do whatever I want, how I want.
- I get most no-school holidays off.
- My schedule leaves me open to be home during the day to get stuff around the house done, spend time with the dog and pursue personal hobbies.
CONS: :dislike:
- Waking up and have to be at work ungodly early everyday (6:30am).
- Getting paid a measly $8/hr.
- All of management is a complete mess, extremely unprofessional and the cause of 99% of the overall problems. Inconsistent, childish and often unavailable.
- Horrible employee morale, due to above. High turnover rate. "Why bother?" is the motto.
- No funding, so any & all materials, snacks or new toys comes out of my money. Often left having to beg for donations.
- Odd schedule. (6:30-9am then 3-6pm) makes days off balanced. Exhausted from being up early, try to get things done in that small window, so by evening Iรขโฌโขm crashing, leaving me miserable at family time.
- Management won't hire more help. Haven't had a day off in forever cause no one is there to cover.
- Incredibly frustrating disorganization. Consistently asked to do other jobs but are rarely helped in own program.
I have my resume on my desktop and have seen at least 3 local places hiring assistants or aides, but I chicken out. I want to work somewhere professional and organized. It would be nice to be paid a decent amount and not have to worry about buying supplies or putting up with 20's something pointless dramas, bad management and negligent parents. Too bad I completely removed all traces of my own daycare here or I would try again. The grass sure looks greener on the other side lately.....
So yeah...../ventComment

Friday, Nov.20, I place order on Walmart.com thru phone to have the item expedited. I call back Saturday to see if the order was expedited because I need it by Thanksgiving. They say YES and should arrive by Tuesday, Nov. 23. and my money has already come out of my checking account which usually doesn't happen until order arrives at local store so I thought it WAS expedited. So... still no arrival so I call Walmart.com and they say the item was NOT expedited...I say how can it be expedited on two previous phone calls and not show up expedited today...Well then I get the run-around and I am now LIVID! I really wanted this table tennis/ping pong table for my family to enjoy during Thanksgiving. Next time I will go to Academy sports....should have this time! GRRRR!!!!!

I've had hundreds of kids over the years and I've encountered this dozens of times so I don't know why I'm not used to it...
But I'm not used to it.
Why don't people want to spend time and take care of their kids?? One of my dcgs is so unkempt and emotionally neglected. She has a two-year-old brother and another on the way, and she's basically raising herself. I shudder to think what will happen once her baby brother is born.
She's got health issues, speech issues, cognitive issues. It was 28รยฐ this morning - all she was wearing was a size 2T thin jacket - she's easily 50 lbs. She doesn't own a coat. Her hair hadn't been combed since I combed it on Monday. Her mother works from home - but she's here 11+ hours daily.
These people are in no way poor...just clueless.Comment
