My sister's only backup for her kids when there's no school is my mom. So, of course, when my mom can't do it, she asks me.
Why does no one realize this is my job and you can't just assume I'll watch your kids every time you need it? No, I do not want to watch your kids next Wednesday. I have all my kiddos that day, and the last time I watched your kids for 3 hours, they did not behave. You also didn't even pack them a lunch or anything to eat. I definitely do not want them here all day.
UGH.Comment

What a way to start the day!!
Last night was our first hard freeze of the season, so it was COLD this morning.
Went out to get the playroom ready for the day and noticed my 30 gallon aquariums water was down a few inches, touched the stand and yep the ****er is leaking big time!
So before even having my coffee I had to quickly empty and drain my aquarium. Of course the water siphon decided it was not going to work so I had to scoop all 30 gallons out with a pitcher. The carpet is wet, the cabinet is ruined and my poor fish are in a bucket! Just glad I have a fold-able gate system that I can put around the wet spot while it's drying.
The day can only get better from here. I hope

My dc kids have been awesome this morning.....all while the eye-screening people came to take pics of their eyes I tell them (one kid thinks he was being checked to see if he was color blind like his brother, one thought it was to check if their eyes were burning:
.
They were still awesome when a client called and demanded I tell dcd that she is NOT married to how he needs to be paying for child care....uhm, NO, NO, NO!. Then another client calls to make sure the wife paid this week for child care (really, don't yall live together?), then the mediquip people brought my grandma the wrong walker, then my nephew had a package to be signed for from UPS delivered because he knew I would be home (come on!), then my aunts keep calling trying to work out the walker thing, then on and on and on.....
Now got an extra large cup of coffee and some excedrin tension headache..
But on a good note, my kids are getting their nap things ready and still being good. Happy about that part!
And I meant to put this on the venting thread? BC can you help with that?Comment

Whiny
I'm new to the site, so hello! I own and run (by myself) a Before & After Care program, we also run during school breaks and summer (ages 5 & up). We opened in August of this year, so we are just a few months in. Anyhow, on to the venting....
I have a 5 year old that has recently tested on the spectrum. I've had him for over a month now and my patience is running super thin. He doesn't listen, we go over the same thing every. single. day. If he doesn't like what is said, he gets whiny and just plain bratty. His family situation is complicated, but when his guardian comes to pick him up, he changes into a devil child. He insists on making a mess, knocking stuff over, running away and throwing something. Then he asks his guardian if they are going to go and get a toy from the store. I'm all for rewarding, but huh?!
I understand he is special needs, but I'm not sure how much longer I can handle him. He isn't violent, so there isn't a direct reason for expulsion. I just don't know that I can handle this. all. the. time.
I should say my own children are now 8 & 11, so we are way past the toddler stage. But that is right where this kid is, between toddler/preschool mindset and behavior.

Spent 2 days chasing my $ from the same family...dropped a check with the incorrect amt. Mom comes back after I txt again...to give the difference...and chuckled she can't add. You will not be receiving care on Monday without $ in hand!!Comment

I open at 7:30, so why does it bother me when someone is knocking at my door at 7:30 on the nose? It's like they wait down the street and pull in my driveway at 7:29 and then she stands here and talks loudly for 10 minutes. ughComment

Have GOT to find my backbone.
This dear sweet dcm..... and it's my own fault for not talking about it with her, face to face, a long time ago. Her contracted hours are until 4:45. After a few months of her coming to pick up closer to 5 every single day, I sent a newsletter home to everyone, telling them all to check their signed contracts and make sure they're picking up on time, then reminded them of what their late fees would be if they didn't. Very passive-aggressive and chicken $hit of me but I thought it'd work. Well, it didn't. She's not supposed to work past 4:30 because she works for the state and according to her dh, the dept. can get into trouble if their workers work over. She usually picks up at 5. Tonight I get a text at 5:02, saying she lost her ice scraper and is running behind because she's letting her windows defrost. Getting out at 4:30 she should've had plenty of time to defrost her windows, especially if she had planned a little bit in advance and started her car earlier. And our town is so small that it doesn't take more than 3 minutes to drive here. But she gets here about 5:10. Apologized, yes. But it shouldn't have happened.
MY FAULT. And I'm as angry with myself as I am with her.
Starting with the new year, I'm going to have to write up new contracts.
Grrr, just had to vent.Comment

Argh, just found out that all my dcf are getting subsided care, some govt some because they work for this home daycare company that I contract to...... well I never knew and whenever I have had to have time off ( I have a medical issue) I refund them directly ( if they haven’t used another regulated provider) I’ve been refunding them at $14 hour ( my hourly rate) turns out due to subsidies these families only pay $5 - $8 an hour!! Yet they took the full amount in refund all year and never mentioned anything. I’m so angry with these families so so angry, that’s theftComment
