4 yo DCB is working my last nerve. If the other kids stop playing with him (because he's being bossy or whiny) he looks to me to entertain him. When I won't (because I am not about to rescue him from himself,
) then it's
"I'm sooooo bored!" and "it's so boring here!"
Dude, I've been doing this for 500 years now, I don't care if you are bored. GO PLAY TOYS! ::

I have trained 2.5yo DCB to put on his own shoes. He knows how to, and can do it completely independently. Except on Mondays.
He is currently sitting on the sidewalk between the door and the play ground with no shoes and no hoodie on. And he has been for the last 20 minutes. If he keeps it up at this rate his Mom will be here for pick-up before he even gets to play with his friends.Comment

DCBaby won't play. Screams and cries everytime I move more than three feet away.Jeg
DCG runs away when I call her, screams bloody murder when I go get her.
DCB1 ignores me.
DCB2 hates everything I suggest, even lunch, to the point of screaming his most annoying "Hear me! Give me attention!!"-scream.
When DCB3 almost fell asleep at the lunch table, I knew exactly how he felt!
Thank God this morning is over!!!Comment

Our line of work would be so much better if it were all about the kids. Most of the time these parents are my biggest stressors. I feel like I need to remind them that I am here to work with them and that I don’t work for them. I also need to remind them that they were fully aware of rules before they signed up. Of course they want everything that advantages them, but heaven forbid if I should give several months notice that I want a weeks vacation. Well that’s absurd. Or oh, you decided to keep your kid home so you don’t feel the need to pay. I’m not sure if it’s just end of the year burnout but I think I’m feeling just fine for the moment. Of course these parents have no problem coming to me with their “can I pay.....?” Or their reasonings why they are late again. But if I have human needs, forget it I’m just a service provider that is inconveniencing them.Comment

My one 2 yo dcg is drop in while mom is on MAT leave. I LOVE this family, But holy heck today was TERRIBLE. Tantrum after tantrum, crying, whining, etc. If another child came near her it was "No no no" and "MINE!" Ugh. She either needs to come more, or come less. I can't decide!Comment

Re-enrollment contracts go out. DCM picks latest departure time which means $5.00 more a week than she was paying before. When payment becomes due DCM acts shocked it's an extra $10 and has to give me some cash because she already had the check filled out and didn't realize it would be more.
She hasn't talked to me since. Like walks in, takes her child's hand, walks out. Same in the morning. Walks in, lets go of her child's hand, walks out. I politely say bye as the door is being shut. Whatev....have your fit! She knows the rules...it's been the same for the last 6 years.
It wasn't until today when she did it in the presence of another parent that it rubbed me the wrong way. Maybe because the witness (
for lack of better words) got all wide eyed and looked at me. I just shrugged my shoulders and said...must have been a crazy morning.

😱😱 I would term immediately. No one will disrespect me like that in my own home and in front of other parents, just wow!Re-enrollment contracts go out.

Omg I have a DCM acting the same way. She sent me their two weeks notice via a text the other day. We’ve always gotten along, had friendly banter, our school age daughters go to school together and are friends. Their reason for leaving was that basically I take too much time off. (I have been going for teachers kids the last few years but I’ve also been open every no school day with the exception of the ones listed in the handbook when she enrolled two years ago. I had only her kids on snow days and never complained, and at Christmas I asked for a week off in August. Any other time I take off I find a sub. Twice I’ve found a sub just for her kids, because teachers kids pay for the day anyways so I wasn’t losing money. So I don’t get the complaint, but whatever.... in the end it works because now I don’t have to deal with as many subs or snow days) anyways in her text she was all nice, and I hope this doesn’t affect our daughter’s relationship etc....I replied, I’m sad to see them go, of course I understand the benefit of a center for your family, of course our kids can still be friends. Anyways ever since it seems she is doing all she can to leave on a negative note. Basically just tosses her son in the door in the morning and won’t make contact. With the exception of how she came in one morning and argued about how she shouldn’t have to pay the remainder of the balance due after taking her deposit into account. With this attitude, I’m counting down the days, sadly I will miss her kids. Not to mention that I wasn’t prepared for the loss of income for the summer. My goal was for in two years to be all teachers kids and have summers off.... I was waiting on two families to age out. Now I only have one family needing summer childcare.Comment
