Ugh I hate that. It is so nasty!! Not to mention why do they think we have time to change a diaper as soon as a kid rolls in.

Right! I usually don’t for the first hour or so that everyone gets here. And by then, it’s about to fall off or soaked through.

Stop bringing your kids in their diaper that they wore overnight. It’s gross. I have more than one parent that does this. 🤦🏼*♀️🤦🏼*♀️

Ugh! I can’t believe the stupidity of some people. It doesn’t take that long to change a diaper. Lazy and so gross. You would think parents wouldn’t want their child to sit around in a messy diaper for long.

Getting over Influenza. Day 14 today, still coughing and tired and blowing my nose. It's getting better, but it takes so long!

Day 2 of no school here because of weather, so at least I have a lighter load today. Figured I'd knock out some paperwork. Make a RARE cup of hot coffee and sat down at the table with my laptop and binder. DCB 3.5 comes over, leans over to see the computer and DROOLS in my coffee. Thank God that I saw it happen-I might have to call off for the rest of the day, though, because 10 minutes later, I still feel like I could throw up! Vomit, fine. Poop, I'm good. Drool in my cup? I might have to go to the hospital!::

Dear DCM,

You picking up "early" due to a bad snow storm and treacherous road conditions is NOT doing ME a FAVOR. Its doing yourself one, because if you tried to come at regular time and were late because of said road conditions, I would be charging a late fee. In essence, you are doing yourself a favor.

Signed,

Ms Play Care ain't playing no more.

That mentality floors me.... I just can't wrap my head around parents thinking like that. :confused:

Doing you a favor... :: ::

Baby has been out 2 days due to weather and yesterday for sickness, but no fever per DCM. Today, DCM says baby is fever free at drop off. At diaper change, baby is warm. Took her temp, almost 100°. Who wants to get baby will be sent home this afternoon once her temp reaches exclusion. Ugh. This is my best DCF too!

Soooo tired of smelling farts...

...and guess who was called for pickup.

Do you suspect a dope & drop?

[Miss A]

Do you suspect a dope & drop?

Yes, only because DCM made a point of telling me and posting on FB yesterday that baby was sick but no fever, and again at drop off. An hour after drop off baby was approaching 100°.

Right. I love how doing something they are contractually obligated to do is somehow doing me a favor. I wonder if she thanked her superintendent for doing her a favor when he let them out early

I swear if I hear butthead one more time I'm going to pop a blood vessel.

It drives me crazy how parents expect you to be available at their every beck and call. I do sometimes offer extra hours IF I’m not busy. But you can practically hear the eye roll on the other end of the phone when I state I am not available due to my own plans. My world doesn’t revolve around yours. 🤷🏼*♀️ Also, I’m a human and have to take the occasional day off. It is rare, and I normally provide a back up. But if I have to close beyond what I’ve contracted (I allot myself 3 personal, paid days/year other than vacation), I’ll issue a credit for such days. Also, I normally extend at least a 2 week notice, more if able. Don’t get an attitude with me cause you didn’t plan for it. But, I guess I forgot — I only do this because I love children and don’t need the pay guess I’m going to have to start being “mean” again.

DCG 5 had a bad cold/cough 3 weeks ago. She has been clearing her throat with one brief cough every 10-15 min every since. So annoying!

I see your in WV. Did you have a bunch of drama during the school strike? I have a few teacher families and they were such entitled drama queens. Parents always think we owe them a special.
