I hate marketing. I get the stupidest f’ing people on the planet. This was my latest phone call. Had to take a couple minutes &calm down after this one.

“You must be new to this. I’m going to give you some advice. Hire a woman to help out or run it for you. No one is going to leave their child with some random a$$ dude. “

We really need a “middle finger” smilie.

Not how I wanted to end my week. One of the real downsides of cell phones is you just push a button when hanging up. There was something cathartic about slamming a phone down when hanging up on morons.

See this is where I wish I had a mean streak and had no issues being unprofessional because I'd take that callers name and info and then I'd post all about their stupidity all over the internet. I'd make darn sure that no daycares (male, female or alien) ever wanted to take her child. What a shame that there really are such closed minded d-bags out there still.

Sorry this happened to you Dave. :hug:

There's a male provider in our neck of the woods. I would love to meet him.

Anyways someone contacted me for DC. They had just had a baby but their provider didn't have a spot for the baby. So she was looking for care for just the baby or both. I didn't have an infant opening but said I would put her on my waiting list.
I later was introduced to her and she tells me that the older child was with the male provider and that his wife works for him. She then adds that she feels safe there because the wife does all the diaper changes.

I was so annoyed for him and you too. (Not to mention my DH is listed as my assistant, although he works a 9 to 5, he can cover for me if I need to leave before closing.) When my infant spot opened she didn't get a call back.

Spent 2 hours cleaning (on top of my usual Sunday daycare work) to get ready for my interview and they no showed. I’ve never had a no show! So I got on here to research (of course! Because you guys are all amazing) and now I know I should have them contact me the day of the interview to get my address so I can avoid this in the future. I’m kind of starting to freak out about the two spots opening up next month. I’m not getting a lot of good fits calling me to interview... now a no show too. At least my house is clean now and I guess I can read a book or something...

When are people going to realize abuse is not gender specific??!! Such old fashioned and naive thinking.

Ot -- having a miscarriage

I know it's not daycare related but, I'm currently going through a miscarriage. Should be 9.5 weeks and their not even seeing a fetal pole in the yoke sack which puts me at less then 6 weeks. Had a ultrasound done 2 weeks ago which showed the exact same thing now I go back in a week, if my body dise not do anything on it's own they will schedule me for a d&c then.
Had to share with someone, hardly anyone knows we were expecting. I'm 39 and this was our last go at adding a third to our family. It took 11 months of trying to get pregnant.
