well you obviously have terrible two amnesia! I can't believe how viscious you all are being, and how much time you have on your hands. Bravo!

I got an email from someone who saw my CL post giving me a heads up that I was being talked about. Obviously there is identifying information.

The only identifying info in the whole topic was YOUR post on Craig's List where YOU identified HER.

No one here knows your name, your child's name, the OP's name (until YOU put it on Craig's List) or where in the state you even live so, no there was nothing that identified you writen on this thread.

If you see differently, please let me know and I will gladly delete it or lock the thread.

You posted your child's name AND the providers name in your original post so I edited it out so that your identity remained unknown.

you will be sued now! that stuff is confidential.

I'm trying really hard to not point out that this is the pot calling the kettle black.

Ma'am, I'm very sorry you're feeling hurt and disrespected right now, but honestly, most three year olds who are in a scary/strange/new/threatening situation are just going to burst into tears/cower in a corner/collapse in a sad puddle of preschooler goo. They are *not* going to haul off and hit someone new *in the face*, let alone run around kicking other children. Even at the angriest, I haven't even had my own daughter or nephew hit me like that, nor run around kicking people. Children do save their worst behavior for the people they know the best, because it's safest. For a child to hit someone new, an unknown quantity, represents a major problem. Perhaps it was a normal stress response for your daughter--but that does place her in the minority.

While some/many of us have dealt with children who lash out in anger, not everyone is willing or able to deal with such a thing. Would you prefer that the provider call you immediately upon feeling that a situation is beyond their capability? Or would you prefer that the provider try to muddle through, possibly losing their temper and yelling at, or even hurting, your child? (OP, i'm NOT saying that you would have done such a thing).

Perhaps with your child's next caregiver, you could consider a drop-off time that is before lunch, thus easing the transition from you to nap-time.

Well thanks moderator for letting people attack a mother about her parenting abilities. My ad on CL was to make sure that if ANYONE else has an energetic 3 year old, they don't make the same mistake that I did. That is all. This thread is downright bashing me AND my amazing daughter.

I though you said she was 3yrs?
doesnt matter anyway, slapping an adult is not ok.

I have been reading these posts since yesterday. And I also read your post on craigslist.

Here is my 2 cents;

You said “She gets a little COOKY around nap time” did you provide this information to this provider?

You said “She is not quite over the "terrible twos" yet” did you provide this information to the provider?

You said “My daughter is amazing” but then you say she is COOKY and is not over the terrible two’s, so your amazing daughter HIT a stranger?????

There is NO provider that would allow a child to HIT THEM! You should have apologized to this provider.

And a good parent would have NEVER taken their child the FIRST day right at nap. A good parent would have asked the provider to accept the child at least 2 hours before nap and paid a little extra daycare fees.

You sound like a parent that has let her child’s behavior get out of hand and makes excuses for her and likes to BLAME other people.

I would have called you TO and demanded you picked up the child too!!

I would NEVER allow a child to hit me!

It is sad to see parents allowing children to hit an adult and blame it on nap time or being in a strange place. You child should KNOW the routine of NAP TIME, she is 3 and understands!!

And I would be very careful about slandering someone on CL, your post can be traced back to your IP address and using someone name on CL can get you sued!

And now you are threating to sue this provider........over what? She never said any personal information about you.....YOU DID THAT ALL BY YOURSELF ON CRAIGSLIST!

Hope you got a few thousand dollars laying around to give to your lawyer for a retainer fee!!

Well I am already in touch with my worker and licensor so thats that. Goodbye

I'd like to put my one little tid bit in here and then I will be done with this because it is not worth my time. First of all, I am a fantastic mother who is in the process of raising her FIRST child. EVERYONE makes mistakes. If I had done something wrong here, I would have apologized, but thats not the case. Second of all, DD has just left long term pre-school, due to the cost and billing, my husband and I wanted to try family daycare (a more homey setting where she would get care like she does when she's with me). This was a big mistake and will never be done again. When she was in a more structured setting, I would bring her in the same time, and if she did not go to sleep within 15 minutes, she was allowed quiet play with books. I have NEVER been called within 20 minutes by a hysterical woman telling me that my daughter is hitting. My 3 year old daughter does not typically hit unless she feels THREATENED. My daughter obviously felt the need to protect herself.

If this daycare provider had used a soft, kind, soothing voice and gained my daughter's trust, she might have gotten farther. If she didn't go to sleep, it would have been wise not to push it... It's called CHOOSE YOUR BATTLES PEOPLE!!! Thirdly, I was called by the daycare provider in question, accidentally hung up on her, and then I called her immediately back. I was on my way to get her "RIGHT NOW". A minute after I got my daughter away from this crazy lady, my SISTER, not my friend, told me that she just got a hysterical call from her niece's new daycare lady. She thought that there was a medical emergency with one of her kids, hence the hysterical urgency in her voice. This is how upset you get with a brand new 3 year old in your home? One that is not even your own child... This is unacceptable for a daycare provider!

I cannot believe, that someone who has been doing this for 2 YEARS cannot handle a stressed out first day! My daughter was tired, but when it comes down to it, my daughter was threatened by this angry woman, and felt like she needed to protect herself. On the way home, she said "Mommy, I don't wanna go this daycare." ******, I hope that you broaden your skills as a daycare provider, otherwise, find a new profession. So that is my take on this incessant hen squabble. Have a nice day!

Why did you take her at nap time? If you KNEW she had a hard time with it, why take her then? Why not drop her off earlier so she had more time to get used to everything. Terrible twos is NOT a good enough reason to EVER hit someone. EVER. I would not allow a child to hit me. It is just not acceptable, not in my house and apparently not in her house either. Think about the things you could have done differently to stop it before it even started because you, as the PARENT should have realized what YOUR child could and couldn't handle. Step up and be the PARENT, allowing your child to hit an adult is NOT acceptable. If she can't handle simple instrustions then maybe your best bet would be to become a stay at home mom.

Some of us don't have that luxury.

Who is to say this unregistered is even the lady??

Is it the cycle time? that is so funny...cuz it is!

[wdmmom]

Confidentiality being broken because of a thread that has NO identifying factors??? I don't think so


A disgruntled parent publicly SLANDERING a daycare on Craigslist??? YEP

I'd be picking my battles wisely!

[nannyde]

you will be sued now! that stuff is confidential.

I have a copy of your craigslist post where you identified this provider by business name if you need it.

Well thanks moderator for letting people attack a mother about her parenting abilities. My ad on CL was to make sure that if ANYONE else has an energetic 3 year old, they don't make the same mistake that I did. That is all. This thread is downright bashing me AND my amazing daughter.

Well now with your ad you have put the providers and centers in your area on notice to keep a look out for a Mom with a new three year old girl who is still in the "terrible twos"... who is ****y at nap... who hits when feeling threatened... and who's parents are having "cost and billing" issues with their previous center.

You can put "amazing" words on this all you would like but they are only for you. They don't go past you. They are what YOU need to say and YOU need to feel but they won't fly with anyone else.

They are just words.

What any business or provider is going to read is that you have a three year old who is behaving violently... a parent who makes word excuses... and someone who got booted out of a business because they owe them a bunch of money.

Your "amazing" words won't be able to convince them otherwise. You've done a good job forewarning but not to your intended audience.
