:hug::hug::hug: And now you know how I got there. :::: I take no deposit and preen my waitlist regularly so I can term at will. My maximum refund will only ever be up to 4 days since I am paid in advance for the week. I keep that amount in cash on my desk to make me smile knowing I have the nuclear option.

Simplified.

Kill. Me. Now

I gave a family a your care will be done at the end of the week notice, (they were so rude and disrespectful after three weeks of this behavior i was done with them). DCM text me back and said well obviously DCB would not be treated well in your care and your home is no longer safe for MY BABY! We will not be coming back the rest of the week. I just said ok! and shook my head... some people

My vent for the day:

Center is closing in my town. Now all of a sudden there are several people offering "daycare", illegally. Must be licensed in my state for more than 2 kids.

And to think they are probably taking more kids than I (a licensed, legal daycare) am allowed to take and probably making more money than me for less work.

Same here. Licensing has known for over a year. Does not care.

My food program sponsor observes the surrounding 8-10 counties and she has close to 40 unregulated providers. Even though the state has cut down the count they can count for reimbursement, they still have many many kids there she tells me. She tried reporting them but no one listens. :confused:

But if anyone who was once licensed gets caught they will go to the ends of the earth to get them. Playing by the rules is awesome.

Today I had three friends/acquaintances all posting those infant month prop photos that are so popular. "I am two months old, today!!" YKWIM

All three with a loaded diaper. Do other people notice that immediately, first thing *Bam!!* loaded diaper? Or has this job ruined me forever?

I notice this too! Especially when they post videos or pictures with their toddlers diapers sagging to the ground. Makes me cringe!

You know how when you live with something so often that you hardly notice it anymore? Just sayin'.

I'm so over illness.

It seems never ending and it's really frustrating not knowing who dosed and dropped. I suspect I've had 2 families do it this week.

So. over. it.

It's always daycare! I guess their kids must never go in public and live in a bubble?

Every time I have a DC parent blame daycare for their child's illness I have been responding with;

"Yes, daycare seems to be where all the kids pick up their illnesses but usually that's because so many parents bring their sick kids to daycare. Maybe if parents got smart enough to keep their sick kids home, there wouldn't be so many illnesses picked up from daycare."

They usually don't know how to respond to that.
Either because they are guilty of dumping their sick kid or because it's true. Daycare IS a breeding ground for illnesses.

Whenever a parent makes a comment that they went to *insert various kid jungle gym biological cesspool play area here* I make a comment about how many germs are there and ‘I hope you washed your hands’ and then when they inevitably come down with something and they say “is anyone sick at daycare” I say “no, pretty sure it was the jungle gym”

Along the lines of illness-even with dcks traipsing through the doors daily with 1 runny nose after another, I was always pretty lucky in maybe contracting something once a year. My dh is on his 3rd cold since Christmas. He works at a high school so yes, he's around lots of sick kids. He said I must've built up an immunity being exposed all the time. I said yeh maybe BUT they say the best defense of warding off germs is washing your hands often. *hint hint* He just never does. :confused: Just ick.
