Logged Out Because I Can't Stand Myself

[Lyss]

Holy craziness Batman! What's happened here? attacking & conspiracy theories oh my!!

Who cares if OP edited it! The gist is there and the first 100 posts can give you the information that is lacking, plus it's over. OP took the advice and reported, from the last post its obvious she's not going to be posting an update (unfortunately). I think she did the right thing by reporting it, not just because it was the right thing to do legally but because (like someone else said) who knows what those parent's will try to pull down the line. Sure they all may be amazing DCPs (and if so I'm jealous) now but maybe one day one of those DCPs will want something or get terminated and use that as leverage or retaliation. She has to protect herself from that as well. We teach the kids to own up to mistakes and learn from them, we should as well.

And the comment Michael is all about money? WTH?! I'm sorry but I have to put my 2cents in on this! It's free to sign up to the forum! I don't have a daycare.com listing but I can post in the members only forum, you just have to be a forum member. BTW Michael you rock! I often feel alone in this DC world, spending all day with kids under 4 and all my friends acting as if I just chill on the couch all day while the kids run amok (seriously! :confused: ) but here I can sneak away and have a moment of sanity! Get advice, vent, and just feel like I'm actually supported and not the only provider dealing with all the issues! happyface I'm grateful everyday for this forum (and all you ladies!... and Tom Copeland)!!

I think the OP can delete or change any part of the post she wants. She might have chosen to remove part of her post. Why would that bother you?

The original post is sad- I have kept out of it because there was nothing more to say. It has been covered-

but...... if you can remove or delete your own posting why do people always ask the mods to do this? I am guessing one of the mods altered the post, but does this matter? Most of us read the original posting and this has been beaten to death. I am sure the OP feels horrible about this. It's not like she was someone that did this and didn't care or had an "oh well" attitude.

I am curious how the OP made out with all this? Hoping to see an update-

Ladies, I have refrained from posting on this topic, as I think everything that needed to be said has previously been said. We all have opinions about this incredibly heated topic, and I think the opinions are all perfectly clear.

I think the whole consipiracy angle is a bit ridiculous...if the original post was edited, then it was edited. I certainly don't think it was to cover up the original information, or to hide some important detail.

I also do not see any reason to attack Michael and accuse him of trying to make money. Seriously...this has all just gone a little too far.

I just pretty much posted the same thing-

I just wanted to touch on this....... We as providers need to support one another and not work against each other. That does not mean we can't have our own opinion's but we need to be heart felt on our words because we are all humans after all- I know I don't chill on the couch all day, I work hard, but I take moments to come here and regroup, say hi, vent, get help and advice or knowledge. I often come here and start a post and then don't get to finish it until much later- all depends on how my day is going. I want people to feel they can come here and maybe they won't hear what they want to here and that is ok, keep coming because at some point you will or you may help someone else with out even knowing the impact you made on a real persons live. This is one of my outlets for conversation that is adult oriented. Daycare does get lonely for many of us. We love our kids but just talking to an adult or of an adult topic is nice too- This forum makes me a better provider-

Best-

I think this is the one CK was referring to. However, what you do with your own children in your own home is 100% completely different that what one does with someone else's child on public property.

Licensing does not mandate us to report ourselves when we mess up as parents but licensing DOES mandate us to report if we out someone else's child in harms way.

BIG difference.

UM HUGE difference, That was my own daughter on a saturday, yeah no reporting ,myself there, that had nothing to do with daycare, and never would as I don't drive my DCK's anywhere, I was just sharing a story, I have shared to numerous people, the situation was completely different.


I didn't mean to quote you blackcat, I meant to quote who you had quoted.
