Well My Mom Says..........................

[daycare]

Don't even know where to start with this one.

every week we cover themes. Last week it was about houses. What kind of house do you live in, where does a mouse live, bees, rabbits, etc.....

this week we are learning about transportation, how do you get from here to there or how did you get to school today.

Well I have a dck that comes from a family, well they are straight SNOBS. Yes they do have money, but who cares......

During circle time we were discussing the topics listed above. I asked all the dcks what kind of house they live in. All of the kids gave a really cute answer. BUT this kid says well my mom says I live in a mansion and you guys live in the ghetto. . I tell DCK that was not a very nice thing to say, that is very hurtful.

Then I asked the kids, how did you get to school today. Most of them said, my mom/dad drove me to school in a car/truck.

This kid says, my mom says we have better cars then everyone, we have a BMW and you guys drive dirty cars. I then tell DCK if you don't have anything nice to share, then I don't want to hear it.

He goes on and says, my mom said that you don't eat food that's why your so skinny and she's going to save you from dying so she's going to get you some pie.

WOW......obviously DCM is talking badly about everyone here, including me. I don't even know where to start with this one.

O.M.G. I hope the pie is a humble pie and that she makes some for her own family!!!!!

I would tell him that you can't believe a grown up would talk that way because it is what you would expect from a nasty brat. I would also tell him that judging other people makes the person doing it look very dumb (and I hate that word). I would also be tempted to tell him that one thing the other kids have that he does not is a nice, decent mommy. I would hope that would bring Mom to start a discussion with me that ended with her terming, but that's just me.

"dcm today at circle time Joey said his mommy told him that myself and his friends live in the ghetto and that he has a better house and cars. He also claims that you made a not so nice statement about my weight. I'm sure you said no such thing and wanted you to tell Joey that so he understands that saying mean things to people is hurtful." smile REALLY BIG!

I would have to do this! Personally I would hold too much resentment (even though I wouldn't care about her actual opinion- to know she was saying those things about me to her own child in my daycare...) and it wouldn't end positively anyways. I'd let her know what DCB was saying, just to see what happened! But that's just me

ok you have to forgive me because I didn't know what humble pie was. I had to goolge it and boy did I have a laugh. Yes I do hope the mom has some too.

I really think that this is what I need to say. I am really upset about it. Not so much that DCK said those things, but what parent would say those things around a child? AND can't help it but what does my weight have to do with my ability to care for her child?? UGH I need a good vent.


I think that would be a good start on letting DCM know that DCK is saying these things and that they need to stop

"Well no wonder you're so rude!!! That explains EVERYTHING!!! Your parents spent all of their money on their mansion and their fancy cars and now they don't have money to pay for your Manner School!!!"

J/K ... but only because he's a little kid ::.

What the what? Omg......I can't say I'm stunned....I live in a very have/have not community too. My son goes to a super snotty elementary school. They have UNIFORMS, but some "have" kid told my boy "haha you have Walmart shoes (not true, don't shop there) and your backpack is cheap no-name haha"

Hugs to you daycare......don't let it bother you. Maybe this child is just a victim of.a raging.case of parent dumba$$edness syndrome. So sorry your feelings are hurt, btdt.

Hit record on your phone when she gets there and drop it in your pocket so we can hear the stammering ::::::

that would be super funny....

I am feeling sick, she comes to pick up in about 10 minutes.......

[daycarediva]

How did it go??

[daycare]

ummmmmmm. lets just say that I have never seen this dcm pick up so fast in my life.

I told her pretty much exactly what happened. she looked at me and said huh wonder where he got that idea???? deny deny deny

so then I said oh yeah and he keeps telling me about a pie that he wants to give me??? she said oh not sure what he's talking about. I said oh maybe I am miss understanding him but he keeps saying something about my weight and I need to eat a pie????

She looks at me very flustered says ok talk to you tomorrow. This child has been here 2.5 years and have always taken at least a good 10min to pick up and drop off..........

I started laughing when the door closed. I wonder what tomorrow drop off will be like.....but I did not say anything else. I think I will let it stew over a bit before I say anything else....

[BumbleBee]

*snicker* she's been BUSTED!
