Absolutely Ridiculous

This happened yesterday:

Provider accepts DCK in care going against her gut. DCM claims the child is not ill. Minutes later provider offers DCK breakfast. DCK refuses, "My mom said I can't eat or drink anything today. So I don't throw up."

Provider calls DCM to pick up DCK. DCM requests a refund for the day.

DCM: Ugh the baby stinks! We were so busy last night I didn't have time to bathe her.

Me: Oh one night doesn't hurt, can't be that bad!

DCM: (hands me the baby) More like a week, if you can't stand the smell feel free to give her a bath. I'm late though so gotta run. Thanks bye!

Omg, this child smelled like dirty feet, vinegar and sweat all rolled into one! I gave the poor kid a bath because she honestly made me sick to my stomach every time she wanted to sit on me or get a hug

an interview once

Parent- What do you serve for meals that are healthy?

Me- I went on and on and on

Me- Then I thought maybe I should ask what the child likes, feel the parent out a little bit. So I asked if the child had any allergies and what the child likes to eat at home for meals?

Parent- Raimon noodles, french fries, nuggets, fruit loops and some other off the wall food that you wouldn't feed a six month old. Then parent goes on to tell me and go ahead and let that diaper fill right up because they are expensive and can't afford them

I did have one parent ask me to make sure her son used two fewer diapers a day. I was confused and asked her if she wanted me to leave him in a wet or soiled diaper in order for her to save money. she said no, change him if he needs it, just make sure he goes fewer times during the day. what the what?!?! I guess she thought I was some sort of baby magician and can control their bodily functions. Needless to say, she was strange and got termed down the road. She didnt feel that her son should be reprimanded for aggressive behavior because he was just snuggling in a different way than the other kids. the other kids should learn that he was just trying to snuggle. she was termed when her snuggler jumped on my daughter and close fist punched her in the back until I had to physically rip him off her. He was only a year old!!!

After my warm the breast milk in my bra request from a dcm, I didn't think it could get any worse but today she wanted me to use this snot ****er that I would actually **** on with my mouth. I had to decline. I can't remember the name of it but the thought of doing that grosses me out.

we have one of those and use it with our own kids. there is a filter so that nothing comes up too high towards the users mouth. it looks weird but it works way better and more gently than the bulb suctioners.

This one always makes me wonder if she was okay with other children "aggressively snuggling" her child... I have one (the one I am always posting about : whose mom thinks everything he does is excused because "he is only 1.5, now 2, now 3, now 4, now 5 yo" but if another child even "makes him sad" by not talking to him the way he wants to be talked to it is the end of the world ::

I dragged my husband to Buy Buy Baby just last week. We are in line. He says, "Baby I think you need one of these for your daycare!"

My stomach turned and I replied, "Please don't be the catalyst for me to cuss in Buy Buy Baby."

I have two friends who use those and they say they are fabulous! They have filters that collect the nasty. Even so I don't think I could use one on someone else's kid just for the psychological ick factor.

Oh, I have one! Mom came in once, handed her child off to me and said she left something in the car. Came back in with a 19 inch flat screen with built-in DVD player asking me to set it up "somewhere out of the way" so her daughter could watch her soaps! Seriously, mom said she and DCG usually watch the recorded versions together in the evenings but since mom had been gone on a conference most of the week prior, the little girl had missed too much and she wanted her to catch up before they watched that evening! Seriously! She even went so far as to say that she spent "hours" over the weekend transferring the DVR recordings to DVD so it would be easier for me. "Days of Our Lives"... and the little girl was 4. OMW!!!!!!

While this didn't happen to me but a fellow provider a few years ago. It is so out there that it should be told.

The day before Thanksgiving one of her dcm's came in with a whole uncooked turkey and asked her to cook it for her because she was going to be too busy to do it herself!!! Sadly she was so shocked by the request she actually cooked the darn thing!

I would have ruined that turkey. What's she going to say? I brought this turkey to my kids daycare and she ruined it?

This lady has some serious boundary issues. Does she think up these things in her sleep and then jots them in the notebook she keeps by her bed?

You have got to be kidding! Wow

[Sarah97]

I have 2, from the same mom....

At closing time I receive a call from her asking if she could be late because their monarch butterflies hatched and one was sitting on her finger drying its wings. She would come as soon as it flew off.....ummmm no.

Just a few months ago, 4 AM phone call from same mom crying. There is a bat in her house, hubby is out of town. Request that my dh or son come over help get it out. My VERY sweet dh went but found no bat. She left the house with her girls, bought new clothes for them and stayed at a hotel until hubby got home two days later.

Hmmm.......maybe I should block her number......

Nope, entirely serious. And I would've thought she was being funny if it weren't for the television she literally brought into my foyer and set on my buffet stand while telling me the story of how she had to Google the instructions for transferring the shows from her cable box to the DVD recorder. I am not judging, but let's just say the TV did not move from that spot all day. When dad picked up I casually mentioned the request, told him that our schedule that day didn't offer an opportunity for her to watch "her shows" and reminded him to take the TV home "so nothing happened to it." Great family, just a little... off.
