No. My fall wreath hanging on my door it NOT a toy for your 13 month old son to yank on and pull on each and every morning. In fact, you have let him yank on it so much that yesterday I had to hot glue it back together. I was then every displeased to open my door this morning only to see your sons hands full of my flowers and the rest go flying because I opened the door and pulled it away. It was not funny to me even though you seemed to think it was a true belly buster! Then to laugh and say "Looks like you got caught J----!" about made me see red. The child is 13 months and cannot reach the display unless you choose to pick him up and hold him over to it on purpose. I doubt he did it on his own. No. The child didn't get caught. YOU got caught. So just for once, could you NOT be a A-hole and show me, my house and my belongings a little respect and thereby demonstrate to your son as well how to be respectful of others? That would be lovely. Thank you

I almost started a thread about how rude the general public has become in the past couple of years. How rude is it that this adult is allowing his child to destroy your property! Things like that have happened so much to me in the past couple of years that I have actually put in my contract that I reserve the right to immediately terminate families if anyone from their family or friends (anyone that they bring to my home) are disrespectful to anyone in my daycare/home/my pets or disrespectful/damaging to my property. And I have actually kicked families out of daycare for being rude/disrespectful to my family members, verbally abusive to/about my pets, and damaging to my property. It's unbelievable how negative/selfish/socially unacceptable some people have become.
Another thing that I have noticed is that the parents are dismissing their child's rudeness and telling me that their child is shy. I'm sitting there thinking, NO! The child is RUDE! and you, the parents are allowing him to be rude!
Right now, in the group that I have, one of my parents NEVER say hello or anything to acknowledge me in the morning. She just started saying 'bye' to me last night!
One of my children finally started waving 'hi' at me in the morning, but refuses to verbally say 'hi' in the morning. And of course his mother does not even try to help me get him to say hello/hi.
I just got one of my other boys to say hello/hi in the morning last week. He's been here for a month or so with me telling him 'hello' every morning and then telling him that he needs to say hello back to me.
When I grew up and when I raised my own children, and up until about a year ago, everyone taught their children to greet people as they entered room. And the parents greeted you as they came in. But not now. I think overall, the general public has become just rude manners are being thrown out the window.
My sister had a daycare kid who would lick her sliding glass door and his parents would stand there laughing about it saying that she learned that from their dog! YUCK! SERIOUSLY!? The parents think it's funny and acceptable that your child is doing what DOGS do?!?Comment

My parents are pretty good about not letting their children touch stuff they aren't supposed to, but I do have a turkey on my door (high up) and it has fallen down from children touching it.
Just last week a parent broke a part off of my storm door and didn't say a word. I am 95% sure that he knows he did it because as him and his son were walking out I heard him say "oh L (he must have been grabbing the turkey)" and then I heard a snap. If I heard it inside, he HAD to have noticed. So the next say I put the piece that was broken off right outside the door, and nothing, but he stepped on it and broke it even more; he had to have know he stepped on it because it was a hard piece of plastic. Immature on my part I know, but I wanted to see if he would say anything.
Maybe he really didn't know, but I doubt it. And every time he walks out I know he sees the broken and missing part. It's embarrassing when things like that happen and I do know that accidents happen, but at least own up to it. I would feel terrible if my children or myself broke something and didn't say anything.Comment

"Please don't let your child touch my wreath. It's delicate and if I intended the kids to play with it I would have put it in the playroom. Thanks!"Comment

Ugh, I have a dcm who rarely picks up, but when she does she is ALWAYS on her phone. Sometimes she acknowledges me and sometimes not or just waves. One day I had to tell her something and she came up on her phone, took her son and mouthed "I'm sorry" (for being on the phone) and left. Then she had the nerve to call me later to ask something (the exact same thing that I wanted to tell her) I think it's so rude. I would NEVER do that to anyone. I think she actually thinks she is "cool" when she is on the phone and she makes sure I hear what she is saying. She has even gotten off once and told me her conversation. Sorry, but I don't care that ____is going to pay you $50 an hour for a phone consultation, which I have no idea what kind of consulting she does (you just have to know her). Sorry to go on and on.
I also have one that licks my windows and the parents laugh.Comment

I have a dad who mostly drops off and picks up all the time. He is so polite that one time he came for pick up and said "I have to apologize about this morning." I couldn't imagine why. I didn't remember anything he might have done. He said "I just started telling you about her diapers, etc. and totally forgot to greet you."
Omg, that was so nice and it must have bothered him during the day. He is a very nice man.

The dcb I recently termed would pick up my solar lights and carry them around outside and put them in a random spot. Asked him not to do so in front of parents, told parents not to allow it, finally move them (and half the stakes are broken now).
He kicked in my son's jack o lantern this year.
He broke the screen on my storm door by punching it repeatedly in front of his parents.
Nothing phased them, they paid to replace it ALL without so much as an apology.
The parents I have now are all pretty good. Nothing too out of line other than after hours texts and the now a days out of control kids (but I got a separate cell for business and it goes OFF when I close so they are forced to email me).Comment
