Dumb@$$ Parents

[Unregistered]

Yes! I do believe I take better care of a child whose parents let her teeth rot out of her mouth before the age of three. Not properly caring for your child is not a 'parenting syle",it's called neglect.Sorry if you don't want to accept that fact,and yes,I will admit to judging people who don't properly care for their own children.
I can safely say no one has ever took better care of my children"some time in their lie"-
I'm home with my children,properly caring for them along with many other children.
If you can't even get the basic needs in life figured out for your children you shoud not have them,or figure it out quicker.There are many parenting books out there.
I'm done arguing with you! I can go to sleep and be at peace with myself knowing I do the best for my kids and the kids in my care every night!

You really think you can take better care of child than the parent of the child. Ha whatever and I'm sure at some point in your child's life someone else was able to better care for *your* child. I do not deny that all parents are great I know some pretty ****ty ones, but the way you all talk on here is as if you talk down on all parents just because they do differently than you. Not every house hold is the same and that is okay. Just because a parent doesn't do something you think they should be doing as parenting does not make them a bad or irresponsible or neglectful parent. Some people just do not know how to parent because they are still learning. As long as a parent loves their child and does the best they can that is all that matters. You can be the best parent in the world and your child could still grow up to be a monster or you can be the worst parent and your child could grow up to be amazing.

I have a problem with this statement. I for one post here regularly so I have been thrown into the lump of "all of you" and I know that I for one and most other providers that post here vent about particular parents. Not all parents as a whole. In fact I have said numerous times that my current clients are great clients. I have vented about particular clients before sure, but these were clients that paid late, broke policies and/or had entitlement issues. Everyone vents about their jobs once in a while.

The OP was posted as a vent to a particular parent and the comments in response were directed towards similar parents, not all parents...as are most posts. Most providers here are fair and try not to lump all parents into a single category, believe me if we all thought that ALL parents were bad parents or if we thought that ALL parents that parented differently were bad parents then we wouldn't be in the business of daycare. Not all parents are bad, just like not all providers are bad or bitter. We are normal human beings that come here to vent out our frustrations so that we can get it out of our systems and move on. It's a relief.

Oh and to the anonymous person that says we "make the parents pay through their noses" I'm assuming that you are talking about the cost of child care. To that I'd simply like to respond that people need to remember that child care is not expensive, having children is expensive. These are things that should be taken into account when deciding to have children. You don't go out and buy a car if you can't afford the maintenance and that applies for children as well.

Coming here call us "idiots", "stupid" and ironically judgemental doesn't help prove your case in the least.[/QUOTE]

Nor does opening a thread, in the first place called "dumba$$ parents"!!!!
it doesn't help prove that you all are very mature.
to say, yes you will judge a parent because their child had to have rotten teeth taken out, but then get offended when someone judges you by what YOU put out there...hypocrite much?!

[e.j.]

especially after making their parents pay through their noses,

I rarely respond to this kind of post but I do have to say this: Child care can be very expensive. Much depends on the number of hours a child is in care. I never "make" parents pay through the nose, however. I discuss my rates with parents during our initial interview. They decide whether or not to enroll their children in my program.

[Cradle2crayons]

Childcare IS expensive.... So are the clothes you have to buy for the little people...and their food..... And their shoes...... Ad everything else that goes along with children.

If u can't afford the above, don't have kids.

It's really simple.

Chill out guys, or I'm locking this thread. Arguing with unregistered trolls serves no one any purpose and just makes them keep doing it.

So people who do not register in this forum are trolls??!! Wow! I didn't know we were in middle school.
No, you can't comment on here because you are not apart of our group, club, whatever you people want to call it.
What is the difference in signing up and commenting unregistered? Either way it is going to be anonymous!

Because if you are registered and post as anonymous it's not really anonymous

I don't see how this thread is out of control enough to warrant locking it. We should be able to tell our side of things even if it's to a "troll". I haven't seen any post on this thread that makes me go so reprimanding those who have responded to the unregistered and threatening to lock the thread is a little much. I've seen WAY worse and the mods considered those "reasonable discussions"

Nope, not what I said at all. Posting rude, useless, and inane things, just to get a rise out of people, is trolling. It's a common term, been in use about as long as the Internet has existed. You ARE trolling. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_%28Internet%29 <--link to the Wikipedia definiton of "troll/trolling".

Unregistered users are more than welcome to post...if the posts are not rude and deliberately argumentative. When a thread gets out of hand and degenerates to namecalling and rudeness, moderators will step in and take care of it. We were asked to address the issue. I felt the thread (which was fine in it's original form, fyi) was getting out of hand. I asked for everyone to put a stop to it. I'm merely fulfilling my role as moderator.

if you don't like it, don't be rude.

Baloney- Some parents don't want to learn. They keep having kids because the government will give them more money each month. They don't see any picture except the here and now and the selfishness of themselves

There's a big difference between making mistakes and being a lazy, neglectful parent - which, many of us childcare providers have to deal with on a regular basis. When you are in childcare, you are bound to come accross BAD parents... and don't think for a moment that there aren't a multitude of BAD parents out there.
Making mistakes is one thing, learning from those mistakes is another.

Having raised many, many more children than the average parent (plus courses, classes and research in child care) - I am (along with most of the providers here) much more knowledgable and experienced in dealing with children and child CARE techniques than most parents are. So, yes, in a way, some of us are know-it-alls

I think the point of this thread went waaaaayyyy over your head.

BTW, are you one of the parents that brought a child to daycare covered in vomit? ::
