Spin Off Thread - What Is The Most Ridiculous Thing You Have Had To Ask/Tell Parents

[crazydaycarelady]

I have been doing this awhile so I have a lot. Here are a few:

Please don't walk through my flower garden.
Please don't let your kids steal my garden decorations.
Please don't drive in my grass (and repeatedly run over my sprinkler heads!)
Please don't throw cigarette butts in my driveway.
Shut the door (cuz I am paying to either heat this place or cool this place off!)

Notice I have given up on the please at this point!

Wipe your feet!
Don't smash into my sons truck in the driveway.
Don't kick my dog!

Yeah! A dcd brought his dog in the back of his truck. When my dog saw his dog my dog barked and I watched as dcd KICKED my dog!

Sheesh! I WAS having a good day but now I am wondering why I do this at all! LOL

[kevlynn]

I'm displaced because of the sandy storm No you Can't drop your children off to where i'am

No, I can't watch your child on my CLOSED holiday, even for an hour!
Sorry, showing up 45 minutes prior to drop-off time won't work for me!
Yes, you really need to come pick up your child who vomited

Holy crap. If a DCP kicked MY dog, I wouldn't be asking/telling them not to. I'd be saying: Here is your kid, here is your kid's stuff. Don't come back-you're done here, A&%@*^!.

[daycaremum]

First off, if a daycare parent ever kicked my dog, that would be their last day here!!

Here's mine.

Please put a skirt or pants on your three year old. Yup, dcm sent girl wearing a shirt and leotards, no skirt. It happened twice and yes I did mention it the first time.

"I know you are doing Elimination Communication at home, but I cannot allow, encourage, hold your child over the sink to pee. Its not allowed in a licensed center, for obvious safety and health reasons."

Please do not talk about your child's birthday party in front of the children as you only invited one of them.

No, I will not drop your child off at your work because you can't find your car keys.

Your almost 5 year old who pees everywhere DOES need to see a Doctor.

GET YOUR KID OUT OF THE FRONT SEAT OF YOUR RUNNING VEHICLE RIGHT NOW!!!! (I was yelling...kid almost ran into me...it was very scary)

[Willow]

No, I won't push your standing baby to sitting because you "fear" she's going to walk soon and it'll ruin your dillusions of her being a tiny baby forever.

No, sunscreen is not optional.

No, I will not put your not even 2 year old child on the potty every 20 minutes around the clock for days on end.


I don't fret about that kind of stuff though because there's nothing you can really do to change receiving odd requests. Just respond accordingly, stick to your guns and go about your day.

You gotta just address it and then learn to let it roll off or you're going to drive yourself crazy!

[bunnyslippers]

1. Please hang up your cell phone and greet me and your child with respect
2. Please do not turn around on out front lawn, as we spend a great deal of time and effort keeping it in good shape
3. There is an envelope in my front entryway for payment. Please refrain from tucking it into my front pocket (yup, really happened!)
4. Please do not look in my family's refrigerator for a "quick snack"
5. If you MUST use my bathroom before leaving, please remember to shut the door for privacy and flush the toilet when done (you, DCD just decided to pee one day in my family bathroom, with the door wide open)

[BumbleBee]

I have one dcm (dcd is fine) who p*sses me off every day. She's one of those princess dcm's who has never been held accountable and has always gotten by on her looks - no shocker her 4 yo dd is the exact same way. Anyways, every day this happens:

I hear door open (I prefer people to just come in)

Me - in the other room: "good morning!"

*crickets*

Me - walking towards front hallway trying to figure out who's here: "Good Morning!"

*crickets*

Me - turn corner to front hall and come face to face w/dcm: "Good morning."

Dcm: "oh good morning"


I just find it rude. I know she hears me bc her kids (3 & 4) will say to her "Mommy, Miss ***** said good morning."

[KDC]

Please have DCB wear onsies every single day he is here until he no longer reaches in his pants, I no longer want #2 smeared everywhere. Thanks.

[Lyss]

No I will not give DCB the energy drink you brought for breakfast "because he needs more iron in his diet" :confused: BTW monster has .01/mg of iron

No I will not take my dog to doggie daycare during DC hours.

No I will not provide McDonalds as a reward for using the potty.
