In my new contract I actually have parents sign stating that they have back up care in the event of an emergency.

So my response would be "What happened to your back up care?" ::

Hope your baby feels better soon!

Oh my goodness, I am going to add this to my yearly days off letters that they sign and send back, and to my contract when I update it. Thank you so much!

My baby's eyes look SO much better today, but his attitude is not so fun. Fingers crossed tomorrow goes smoothly!

And I called it. The only parent who is stuck in bad weather when others work further away and picked up at 450. She is going to be at least 20 minutes late, maybe even later.

That's alright, I had my 5pm one picked up at 550 and I had dinner plans at 6pm. Guess what got cancelled? At least I have free birthday food coupons, so I still don't have to pay for a meal, but there was no way to make the reserved table when the pick up was so late - My friends and I are trying again this weekend when I am actually home - Last weekend I was in WV & MD for my 3 day .

Pink Champagne, a strawberries and cream cupcake ( Free from GiGi's) and a fresh made Poke bowl from my Sushi gal. Tomorrow night I have my choice of free burgers or dinner from 6 places ( not to mention the $35 gift card my son gave me)

Today is my birthday and it has been extra hard. All of the babies want to cry all day long. Parents lie about how they eat and sleep. My two year old kept me up half the night. Now i have an interview coming at the end of today. I just want this day over super fast!!

Happy Birthday... Hugs

We should celebrate together because it's my birthday too LOL; I just had a family pull @ lunch because mom got fired this morning (last week she gave 2 weeks notice to work that she was quitting due to being bullied by the bosses daughter). I also totally feel like garbage because of the rainy weather, so I get it.

We can have an online celebration with all our friends happyfacehappyfacehappyface

Happy Birthday to both of you.

Hope you have a hefty late fee! Charge her. Use the extra $$$ on something just for you!

There is always 1 family...my own 11 month old has pink eye in both eyes, diagnosed at 2 this afternoon. He needs tomorrow off from daycare so that he can have a full 24 hours on antibiotic eye ointment. Anyone know knows pink eye knows it spreads so easily, I also need this extra day to sanitize toys. 1 familly is trying to pull a major guilt trip about not wanting to lose their holiday pay by not working the day following a holiday. Well, you can miss one day now or multiple days to care for your own children with pink eye after exposure to mine. Ugh, some people do not think sometimes!

He could have pooped on the car ride home!

Ugh he most likely pooped on the way home. Now if he had a bloated poop diaper I could see being upset. I am not sure how you keep a kid from pooping on the way home.

I've had a sub that's been with me for two years now, is a parent to one of my DCK's and is a regular coming on Tuesdays so I can use that day as my errand day. She has become a huge blessing to me and really to all my daycare families in that if I am unavailable she is here to keep the daycare open.

Another DCM that has been with me over a year sent me a text today that her boy had come home and had poop in his pants. Checked with sub, she changed him after nap so he must have done it while kids were outside or in DCD's car. I'm not sure why DCM was so frustrated as I've had her boy over a year and he's never been sent home with dirty pants before or had a rash due to negligence.

Anyways what I'm venting about is not her frustration, but that in her text she referred to my sub as "that girl" as in "will you please let that girl know that she should have checked his pull-up" grrr....for one "that girl" has a name and she should know it after a year of her caring for your child one day a week every week. Secondly, I did check in with "that girl" and she did check everyone after nap as always and boy was clean. I almost feel disrespected in that she disrespected my trusted friend/sub like that. Idk, maybe I'm just being too sensitive, but shouldn't you at least know the name of the person caring for your child
