    true and I hear where your coming from too.......but the moment you open your door and take a step out or a step out of your bed anything can happen. I still feel BCat was right on.....this provider was caught up in a moment of chaos and everything just went downhill for a few minutes. I don't think it went to the level of six feet under or even close.

It was hilarious. I could see them through my front window by my stairs (that has blinds yet they can't see through). Do you have an alarm that beeps when the door gets opened? I would look into that.

      I agree with BlackCat.
      I have frosting too but they still peek in. Shade they face with hands and noses pressed up. Ya know it is more my dads too than my moms. :: I lock my door too. I think it rude to just walk in without knocking and I DO have a few who try.

      I also believe in going with your gut. I swear I have a sixth sense and I would probably have picked up on an odd response too. In the end, ya can't do anything and worrying gets you no where.

      Deep breath....move on.

        I think whenever a poster starts a thread about a situation she IS asking for other comments, suggestions and ideas.....which makes it everyone's business...or least those that reply.

        I also did not personally say you or daycarediva did or said anything wrong, offensive or insulting.....I totally understand where you were both coming from but I was still compelled to share my perspective....which was in NO way jumping on you or anyone else.

        It's awesome that the OP wasn't offended by any of the comments, and your response to her was also fitting....it was this last comment (the one I quoted) that I now see as offensive.....

        ....and the kinds of comments that start drama kwim?

        FWIW~ This is in NO way personal...you KNOW I lovethis you, but again I just had to add my response ....especially since that is what we are here for......everyone else's 2 cents.... right?
        you summed this up so very well. I was ready to pounce~ but.....I too like you Crystal you have very good advice to offer, sometimes you just come across the wrong way.

Not only would it remedy that, it will let me know ANY time the door opens (my stepson frequently forgets to lock doors when he uses them-the older kiddos figured this out and tail behind him trying to "get free") Oh no, they can only play in the 1/2 acre back yard! What torture.. its cute, kind of, to watch their futile attempts.

          Why is it that kids pine only for the things not allowed anyway? My front yard is pint sized unfenced, while by back yard is huge and fenced. Yet the front is what they whine for. oh well... ah wait, unfenced, that's why

          btw, I love getting all responses, opinions and perspectives. Yes, that is why I post, if I didn't want input, I would just complain to my husband (who would respond, "eh")
          Welcome to the boards....your going to fit in well here!!!:hug:

            You have nothing to explain. You were protecting the child and making it clear that you don't play in the toilet.

            I find it rather freaky that the mom was "spying" on you.

              ITA with the first part - I never feel bad about being harsh when it comes to safety.

              I don't agree with the second part - I have a mom who loves watching her son interact with his friends here because he's an only child so she rarely gets to see him with other children. She sometimes peeks in the door at pick-up to watch him play without him seeing her - I never thought she was spying on me.
