    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.

          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!

            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 😔

              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!
              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".

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

                    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.

                            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.

                              I am literally at the point where I would take the write up for not going outdoors on a day the temperature was fine... although if there were a licensing visit I doubt highly they would blame me as everyone is over this. I could barely plow my driveway and sidewalk this morning I didn’t even attempt the paver patio/paths in the backyard where the kids play. I AM DONE. I don’t know how much we got last night, it is hard to tell because the wind is ridiculous and the snow is all drifting but it took me 75 minutes to plow what usually takes 12 minutes for a normal snowfall. The rumblings on Facebook say we got 11 inches last night. We are supposed to be getting the worst of it tonight it just started snowing heavier about an hour ago after taking a break during daylight hours today. They say an additional 10 to 18 inches is possible according to my local weather stations latest post. I have never seen snow like this in my life. I mean it’s Wisconsin we get a ton of snow but it usually comes in 3-6 inch spurts. I feel like I jinxed it because I recall saying something to the SIL of the “I would love it if it snowed a crap ton just once because I’ve never seen that happen”. Although I said this in January when I was thinking how nice a few unexpected days off would be.. not in APRIL. This is most deff a storm for the record books.

                                Plus this child has pink eye...literally so many situations can cause pink eye.
                                Nope no one here has it! Sorry DCP, blame is on you! Lol
                                Because that is where their kids spend most of their time, and having this info might help with treatment. (Doctor may go with "allergies" over infection for respiratory symptoms, but if others are sick, in sequential order, may be more likely to treat with antibiotics.
