When You Were Totally Embarassed In Front of a DCparent

[misslori50]

I was talking to dcm one morning in my entryway, and my dachshund came in to greet her.....with a pair of my panties around her neck.

hysterical

This happened a few years ago but I still laugh when I think about it.... I'll try to remember best I can.

I had a gal in college that came and helped out in the mornings for credit in her child studies class. She was here 3 days a week for about 5 hours or so.

A parent arrives for pick up.

While we are chatting, I hear a DCB, (age 4) say "Miss C, he has something in his pocket and won't show me!" The kids aren't allowed to put toys and such in their pockets as I have had my share of "non-permissive borrowing" and random things that have been snuck into daycare that shouldn't be here.

So I go over to the little boy who is also 4 yrs old and say to him, "Let me see what you have." He reaches into his pocket and pulls out these 3 long plastic thingys.....(???????) I am confused for a second and then :eeekkk: I realize they are empty tampon applicators!!!

Near as I can tell, my college girl must be having a visit from her Aunt Flo and has been putting the disposable parts of her tampons in the bathroom garbage and the DCB must have spied them while using the bathroom and pocketed them!

I took them and put them in the garbage (one he has no access to) and told him he can not have them. I offered no other explanations because I really did't know what to say or want to explain anything to him but OMG!!!,

At that point, I have NO idea what the DCP picking up her child was thinking but I am dying of laughter!!!........as he sulked in the corner because I took his "treasures" (his words NOT mine!) ::

I had to term a screamer. All the kids I cared for including my own daughter hated the screaming and would complain about this baby. When she heard me giving the mom noticed she jumped up and down started singing about how hapy she was the baby was not going to continue coming here anymore. I apoligised and got onto my daughter about how rude that was to say things like that in front of daycare parents. She was 4 or 5 at the time.

Omg! This made me laugh. My own son would do this!

When a parent was dropping off her son & when I opened the door, my cat ran in with a mouse in her mouth!!! I screamed... the mom screamed...the 3 daycare kids that were there screamed! haha

I started chasing my cat and she ran into the playroom with it! She was hiding under a playpen and the mouse started running around the room. The mom was trying to help but she had to get to work. I was a wreck and just tried my best to say goodbye to her.

Meanwhile 2 more parents are knocking on the door and I had 3 kids standing on the couch clutching their toys

After about 10 minutes of trying to figure out what to do, I eventually threw a towel on the mouse, scooped it up and threw it outside. I was so embarrassed! But I definitely didn't need coffee that morning to wake up!

Haha Blackcat! My boys used to take those out of the garbage too because they thought they were "little shooters."

I had an interview once where the parent of a toddler asked to see where her toddler would sleep. I kept a pack n play in my son's room at the time, so we headed to his room. It was all neat and tidy, but I was horrified when I saw what had fallen into the pack n play. My son had removed his 'althletic protective cup' after playing football the night before and it had fallen into the pack n play! I was embarassed!!!

Then during the same interview I could see my two dogs out of the corner of my eye on my deck. One was hunched over straining to go #2 and the other was waiting at his backside like it was Christmas! This went on and on and I finally was so concerned for the dog that I excused myself and went to see what was happening. The one dog had something coming out of his bottom, so I grabbed a plastic bag and pulled it out and it was a small rabbit's foot!! I quickly wrapped it up in the bag and threw it off the deck, over my fence into my front yard and went back to my potential client. This all happened in clear view of the visiting family.
She promptly announced 'well we should probably get going...'.

I am sure that poor mom thought I was a total nut job!

I'm dying. And then the poster right after mentioning the lucky rabbit's foot. hahahaha!::::::::

:::::: Not daycare related, but when my now almost 20 yr old was 2, I had her brother come along. We were out for the evening having lattes and dinner, etc. My ex and I were talking and didn't notice what my eldest was doing..bad parenting. She proudly announced, Look Mommy, thtickers!. I looked in embarrassed horror at her and all the nearby tables covered in huge postpartum maxipads. The other patrons were amused though.

I'm majorly into the Sims 3 and usually when a new expansion pack comes out I wake up early to play before the kids come or I stay up late playing after they leave. It's a major relaxation tool for me. While we were preparing to expand and the addition was being built we were doing daycare down in the finished basement, where the "good" computer is. That Tuesday "The Sims 3: Seasons" came out. My DH went to Target on his lunch and brought it home from work (he came about 7 PM) for me. I played from the time I got the kids in bed at 8:30 until about 3 AM when DH finally came and dragged me to bed. I simply saved and went to bed, forgetting somehow to save and close. The game played on without me. I overslept the next morning and awoke to my phone ringing, my first parent was calling to tell me they were outside. I stumbled down there and opened the door, barely awake and certainly not noticing that the game was still on. As I was letting them in we hear the sounds of my Sims "procreating" in surround sound. Awesome. I was mortified on so many levels. Now I play the game solely on my laptop.

OT but I just downloaded Generations last night and noticed you can have a home daycare. My sim selfs life was way too much like my own so I had to switch careers

Old thread, but had to pull it out for this one:

My daughters are 11 and 12. We have a store at the corner that we just started letting the girls walk to together. Yesterday we ran out of bread so I sent my daughter to the store to get a loaf for dinner. My Goddaughter was over to the house, she's 6, and she was very upset that I was sending my daughters without an adult. So incidently as a new DCD is picking up she says: "You can't send them to the store, they can get raped!" 4 y.o. DCB says: "What's raped?" And Goddaughter replies: "It's when a nasty old man steals a girl's cookie without her permission!!!!" What the what?! DCD just helped the boy with his coat and smiled sheepishly. Still blushing... .
