Getting bogus phone calls during the day is annoying enough. BUT the phone rang 4 times during the night, 800-***-0000. FOUR TIMES I was shaken awake. No amount of coffee this a.m. will help.

Ugh!!! Why do parents just do what they want? DCB age 3 starting potty training at home this weekend. Great, about time he will not sit on the potty for me, so other than encouragement I haven't tried, because what's the point? They haven't worked with him at home. Anyways, DCM tells me twice last week they are doing it this weekend. I tell her great, bring him in pull ups or get the plastic underwear cover for here and I'm all aboard. Twice I remind her he needs to wear these. Friday at pick up I tell her DCB is out of diapers if she wants to send pull ups or plastic pants great. I remind her of handbook policy that children need to go two weeks accident free here before I let them go underwear only.
So now it's Monday morning. She brings him in only in shorts, not even underwear and brings no diapers, pull-ups, anything. She says, "oh he did great this weekend, only three accidents. And he refuses to wear pull-ups and I'm afraid if I put diapers on him he'll just pee" i kindly reminded her of my policy and that I do not feel like shampooing carpets and washing bedtime blankets.she was annoyed because I made her go home and get pull-ups. Her complaint...I'm already running late. Seriously, I don't care. If you had listened the first two times we talked and followed handbook policy this would not have even been an issue. Ok, I didn't say it so harshly but I did let her know he needed these items ASAP. She did bring them back in 15 minutes.Comment

4.6 year old calling from bathroom. I ask if he needs TP, says no, needs help wiping. :confused: As I am putting down angry, half-fed, baby I remind him he knows how to wipe and he responds "it won't work."
I have a bad feeling about this.
I get in there and he is sitting on the toilet with his clothing still on and has clearly pooped.
No words come from my mouth but he hears them anyway. "I guess I forgot??"
Just finished the big clean.
I know it will be funny in about an hour, right now I just want a shower.

School needs to start.
Kid 1 is a know it all bully brat who needs to GTFO of my house. His ways have rubbed off on 3 others.
Kid 2 has been like a dog at a squirrel convention the last 2 weeks. No focus, at all. He gets distracted going to the bathroom.
Kid 3 is Miss Princess. I hate those. You may be a special snowflake at home but here you're just another flake in the pile. **** it up buttercup.
I am so done with summer.Comment

Today is our last day of summer vacation! Thank god. One of the foster kids I had was at the back to school night with some of my daycare kids. She proceeds to tell them that I stole her money! This is one of the kids mom stopped coming when I tried to get her to pay some of her bill. She just stopped coming!! Your foster mom basically stole from me and I STOLE your money. This girl is almost 12. The funny thing is I had a little girl that was supposed to start next week. Mom calls me all of the sudden and says family will watch her. Family is like 30 minutes out of the way each way when she works from home!! They are neighbors so now I cannot be sure she didn't slander me to this women and who knows who else. I am fuming because I was so patient waiting weeks at time to receive any type of money. This is how she repays my kindness. Never again

Patents who don't read their contact
Just had a family start this week. Wrote a reminder that payment was due today bu pickup. This morning they asked me why they had to pay since they paid this week in advance (as part of deposit). Contract says they pay in advance of care needs but they forgot this. But will now bring check at end of day though now they have to redo their buget cause mom took extra vacation at end of mat leave and now money's tight. God I hope this is not a sign that they won't work out but now I'm worried.Comment

Daycare parents copping an attitude with me because I recommended they have their child evaluated.
"Well the pediatrician never said anything." Oh, my bad. Sorry I see your kid 40 hours a week and he sees your kid what, 1 hour per year? But yeah, obviously I have no clue what I'm talking about. I'll just keep on with the 3 year old who says a whopping 2 words and I swear can't hear anything.Comment

Dear 'friend,'
Thanks for bursting my bubble when I came in 3rd and got my first medal.
If you think you can do better, get your *ss out here and show it. Last I checked, you haven't done a single race-despite telling me for 2 years that you would do one with me.
Tick tock, tick tock. Put up or shut up. I'm waiting.Comment

Why is it that when you difficult family leaves another seems to become the replacement difficult family . It was a nice peaceful summer with the difficult family gone until now.
Ever since enrolling ( 3 years) they knew they pay for their spot not attendance . Then they short me 2 days pay and think it is ok. When I message them about the shorted amount they question why they have to pay .Then they tell me they will be on vacation the next week and do they have to pay . What ??? They responded to my message about the $$ but even then ask if they have to pay . They now owe the 2 days , plus 2 weeks pay when they come tomorrow . My dh and I have bets whether they show up or if they come have the $$ .
At this point I really want to say no pay ( in full ) no stay . Though I know it will hurt the child if this is done in front of him .Comment

I would message the family and tell them they MUST bring payment in FULL AT drop off or no services will be provided and they will be turned away at the door.
If they still show up with no money, that is ballsy on their part and would certainly get them termed immediately with no notice and with collection pursuits to follow for the remaining fees owed.Comment
