How Much "Break" Time Do You Get During The Day?

[Unregistered]

I'm curious - and NOT picking on anyone - is it only here on this forum or is it a widespread thing now for certain phrases to be used - "no likee', "want me some," etc.? I don't watch any TV or movies so I don't know if this sort of language comes from either of those or if it's only found on this forum. I find it a little disconcerting to come here to read grown-up opinions and come across things that sound like I'm still listening to the dck. Again - not a criticism, but I'm wondering because I don't get out much and really don't know!

Lucy: I am not picking on you, just using your post to pipe in myself.

I agree with what you said, however, it usually takes more than just a simple comment to set off Nan. Usually Nan's responses are just that, a response, not a reaction. Therefore, she uses specific words to convey her thoughts, feelings, and experiences. They come across harsh, but they are simply to the point. In that instance, she was attacked. I think both parties are guilty. Nan was a little harsh, but she was defending herself, as she was attacked, personally, regarding the care she provides.

Honestly, I think the world could use more people who are willing to respond and not just simply react. The world might be a much happier place.

I've been around here for quite some time (had to change my screen name several weeks back, fyi) and know how certain members "roll". This was harsher than normal for Nan. I feel BigMama misunderstood her, and that a simple, "please don't misunderstand me, it was merely a joke." would have sufficed. I disagree that she was attacked. And I wasn't even going to say anything until our Forum Owner validated my opinion.

Yes, she uses harsh words, as you mention. We are not one of her Daycare kids, so I feel that a little bit of leeway or benefit of the doubt would have been not only appreciated, but appropriate.

Along with threads like this one and the "do you own firearms" thread, I am pretty proud of this forum and the way everyone handles themselves. Nannyde and I have had a civil and constructive email conversation on the matter. I was thinking IT would have made another great thread. It does not change my original position but I can understand both parties feelings.

It bothers me when someone comes to me with a problem and ends up leaving the forum.

We shall call you daddy daycare..... Or tattle toad..... sorry I had to say it....

thank you for all of your help and support ALWAYS....My husband said that you are one heck of a man to have to deal with all of us......

DOn't worry, I already pinched my husband for saying that about all of us.....::::

Oh I was just thinking about you yesterday. How's the weather down there?

I was thinking about how weirdly warm it is here in Iowa and was wondering if you guys have unseasonably warm weather too?

Busted out the sprinklers yet?

Many days, not much. We have a colicky baby and he cries all the time. We spend our break time passing him back and forth in my garage or laundry room to try to keep it quiet enough for the rest to sleep.

Would you consider babywearing a daycare baby? My kids did not have colic but loved it when they were tiny. My friend's son had colic and he was a competely differeny baby when she "wore" him.

It's a lot to ask of a provider to do this, but I thought I woud throw the idea out there.

I don't get it. What am I missing here?

Oh I was just reminiscing about an old post:

where we were discussing temperatures outside and how hot it gets in your area and mine...

I live in the northwest. ???? We are lucky to see 90 a few days in July. Apparently you were thinking of someone else.

Oh I'm sorry. I thought you lived in Phoenix. I see where you said "kids that live in Phoenix:

With all due respect, we have taken this thread completely off topic. PM me with anything further. Sorry to the OP.

It happens. We talk about eating bear on a gun thread or a colicky baby solution on a nap break thread. Just the nature of the boards.

You're right. But, I will say, it seems to me that Nan's posting to you smacks of instigating drama AND outing your original username. You have every right to be uspet about it.....I know I would be.

When they naturally take a turn, that's cool, but when you are intentionally attempting to stir the pot, it's not natural and doesn't just "happen". You are doing it on purpose.

Crystal when you switch usernames it doesn't change your quotebacks. Any time a user changes their names it takes a couple of seconds to figure out what their previous username was. Anyone can do it any time by just looking thru the users posts. You don't have to be registered or logged in. That's public info here. She has eight hundred posts here and has been a user for a while.

I didn't say anything about her switching usernames until SHE said it in a thread. Look at her posts from today.

I know what happened. She made a comment about changing her username and then you went TOTALLY off topic, quoting an old post of hers, so as to identify who she "used to be" There was absolutely NO reason whatsoever for you to dredge up that old post as it had absolutley NOTHING to do with the topic at hand.

It was intentional. It was rude. It was uncalled for.
