Looks like kids here will be getting a school strike next week. It's going to **** having my own 2 all day. The 6 year old just got out of my hair after summer break a month ago. The 3 year old just got use to drop off at Kindergarten each day and only getting the hang of things.

My in laws are away for the next 3 weeks, most of the time in the summer my lovely MIL would take my boys, leaving me with an easy day and my kids a break from being at home.
I will make a little extra a have a current opening that one of the kids brother is going to come (he use to attend as well)

I'm sorry :hug:

We went through that here 2 years ago. While I was highly irritated at the strike (the reasons here were bogus) I was so thankful I worked from home vs being one of the many many parents who were suddenly having to call off work because this was thrown at us.

I have a dcm that told me her child is completely potty trained at home.

The mom has been caught in several lies before, so I have a hard time believing her.

Dcb always has a wet diaper at changing time. He wakes up from nap everyday wet. I tell mom this and she acted almost...offended. He will sometimes pee if I make him sit on the potty, but needs help pulling up and down his pants. I know if I didn't make him sit, he would never pee in the potty. He has never told me he has to go. He is here all day 5 days a week. She has sent him in underwear before (because he wanted to wear them ), and had an accident an hour later.

I always wondered why parents are untruthful sometimes when it comes to potty training? Or maybe he is trained at home and it's just something about him being here. Hmm...

This is realy a good thing just thought I'd update here cause I vented here. The strike was averted last night at 9pm. So my kids get to keep going.

Because if mom can have him completely trained at home and you can't, then there must be something YOU are doing wrong.

In the end, you (the provider) generally tries hard then to make up for the failure and trains the child completely.

Win win for mom.

...also "completely trained" means something 100% different to a parent than it does to the provider and most times that difference is the difference.

I was so happy when they announced the strike was averted! I love my kids and would have wanted them home any other time but I started a difficult kid last week so I need my full attention on the daycare and my job.

It drives me nuts to see 3.5 to 4 year olds who can’t put on their coats, wipe their own noses, or use forks and spoons. What makes it worse is that some of these kiddos are the ones that can recite the entire alphabet, know all their shapes and colors, print their own name and name all the dinosaurs. Yes, teaching your children these things is fine but how about teaching them basic self help skills first.

There was a mouse. In the daycare area. Right at drop-off. Embarrassing.

Waiting for our cat to get it, but she keeps getting chased away by the kids. Looks I may have to try to catch it myself...

We get them every few years though it's been awhile. Last time we had no cat so it was over two years ago. That is last time till a couple weeks ago when one ran into the daycare room at nap. I was able to kill it with a broom, shaking the entire time and not wake up any of the kids. So far no more signs of more, but my husband set traps.

• I have not seen the sun for 11 days now.
  
• I don't want to be back from vacation, it went too fast.
  
• A hurricane interrupted my vacation.
  
• I got sick on vacation, lost one day to bedrest and am now taking two different meds.
  
• Four out of six of my DCK's are also on meds with raging diaper rashes.
  
• I am wearing my fat jeans, today.

Yes, I will take some cheese with all that.

We dont know if she's a mouser yet, we live near the highway so she's mostly indoor, but dose go outdoors on an harness and leash. Unfortunately she was upstairs at the time, I leave her up there for nap.

This thread is therapeutic! You can seriously bare you soul without judgment. The best part, there is ALWAYS someone or many who have gone through your problem and offer advice.

Today’s rant.....pancake day(home made blueberry pancakes)
Boy comes early( doing mom a favor and taking him 1 hour early), he sees pancakes and says I WANT CEREAL. Mom says Miss LostMyMarbles will get you some, go sit by your friend.
I said no I won’t, it’s pancake day! You can either eat pancakes or go do a puzzle and wait for the others to get done..... and the crying fit from this 4 year old started. So what does mom do, whips out the tablet! Yes, the very some kid with the broken tablet, which was finally replaced !!!
