Is it a full moon?

DCM1: I’ll be here at 12:30 to pick up DCG.
I text DCM at 12:30, are you still coming?
Her reply, yes sorry I got side tracked. I won’t be there until 1:30. Ok please be quiet coming in since it’s nap time. Comes barging I’m waking up the twins. Ok thanks mom.

DCM2: comes barging in at 2:00 pm to drop of DCB when he always here by 9:30. I assumed he wasn’t coming since I didn’t get a response. He screams and throws a fit, of course waking up the twins yet again and she turns around and takes him home.

Seriously people. Respect my rules. I can’t make this stuff up.

What is even the point of dropping off at 2pm? This isn't a babysitter drop in service when you need to run errands for a few hours! I had 2 families who did this to me often and they did me in!

Employee put in her notice to quit and we have noticed that within the last few weeks she has posted stuff that's really offended a lot of us and she got confronted today about something that she posted about and denied it and we Found out that someone has gone and told things that were not to be told. Some of the girls are younger than me and think that they don't have to do their job and f they get told something they get mad

Why do i have to cry when im frusterated or mad. Why cant i just be mad its impossible for me to talk when i am mad or frustrated because i will just start crying. I put in a claim for my furniture warrenty and because i used the wrong wording, it was denied. This is why people need to physically look at things. im not a craftsman idk what the wording is for couch parts. When i tried to explain that, its didnt matter. Such scams

Just need to vent. Normally I would take today off since yesterday was a holiday. We went to Europe in May/June for 2 weeks and the planning for that was overwhelming so i forgot to schedule today off when sending out my summer schedule. I already knew the majority of the children would be gone so I sent a text to the remaining 2 families apologizing for being so late in my planning and saying most of the children would not be here, offering to take today unpaid for everyone but said, since this was late notice, I would work if absolutely needed (but would also have to charge everyone if I’m open). Of course the 2 families said they absolutely needed me. Of course it’s my first arrivals and last pick ups. Of course they dropped off and aren’t working. I know I shouldn’t be annoyed, that I should have expected this, and should have just taken the day off. I’m experienced enough to know this is always how it goes but I’m still trying really hard not to grit my teeth.

You should text them and say that due to low numbers and the fact that no one is using you for work purposes today you will be closing after nap. You're the boss. You can do that!

I only have one today, same deal. DCM, when she notices no one else was on the sign-in sheet says "Oh, she's going to love having you all to herself. How fun!!"

No, DCM, today will be miserable because she will still be expected to play independently in centers, go outside for large muscle activity, take a nap and clean up toys after herself.

How do they not get that? ::

One guess who is now back in backward footed PJ's. So nasty.

The moment when a DCM unironically tells you how much working 5 days in a row ****s.

DCG 4.5 was out yesterday due to ear pain. She was dropped off Monday and mom said she’s been complaining since Saturday that her ear hurts. I said well she probably needs to see a doctor for an ear infection or swimmers ear. She complained about it all day and told dad at pick up that DCG was really upset and should see a doctor. Somewhere between Tuesday night and weds morning they made a trip to the ER for a ruptured eardrum. It seriously annoys me that they waited until her ear drum ruptured to seek medical care. They have insurance (it’s been mentioned before dad has great insurance benefits but hates his job) so the fact that they were just this lazy is mind boggling to me.

Dcb is going to be the last one picked up and probably right at closing time "to be on the safe side."

Dcm doesn't even work. Grrr.

I think she didnt want to commit to picking up at a certain time, so "just to be on the safe side", she said she would pick up at closing time

Funny how sometimes the last kids in care are the ones who don't need it

[springv]

We've had parents do the exact same thing

Talked with a woman at an event, asked what I do. I told her I run a licensed in-home daycare.

She told me she also watches kids and said she had 13 kids that day. Turns out she's not even licensed.

And to think she probably makes more $$ doing less work than me and she's the one running an illegal daycare...
