I have mostly girls enrolled right now, one full time DCB and and four PT DCB ' s. Every single morning at drop off DCM of full time DCB looks in the playroom and screeches " good morning ladies" and then makes a comment to me about him being the only boy here. I usually say "oh so and so will be along soon" or " the other boys will be here after school" or" he and DCG are the same age and enjoy each others company". Today she says "looks like he's the only boy again, right"? I just ignored her, it's starting to irritate me. I have told her several times the first of May two FT boys will be starting and yet she keeps on. Even if the other boys weren't coming he does have boys to play with their just not here FT. And the girls are really sweet and they get along great. Do you ever have DCM's that constantly comment on too mant boys or girls? And what the heck does she expect me to do about it? I am so done with that conversation.

I had one boy and three girls for the longest time. Dcm would always coo about him being a ladies man. :

Sorry your dcm is so uptight about it. If just ignore her. If it bother her enough she'll leave, if not, then she'll learn to hush up about it when she realizes she isn't getting attention for it anymore. -
I have 3 boys and 3 girls.Comment

The girls have always outnumbered the boys here. I can't help it when I only have 6 spots and 2 of those spots are filled with my daughters
. I've found that the boys don't necessarily play with each other anyway. Maybe it's because when boys are together they don't always play appropriately ::::.

I have mostly boys, only 1 FT girl and 1 drop-in girl. But I'm used to the gender comments, I have 6 of my own boys so this is normal for me. I would just remind her that he has plenty of fun playing with the girls but there are boys who attend too. I'm sure after the other boys start she'll shut up.Comment

Strangely no, and I have mostly boys (with now a whopping 1 full-time girl, 3 alternating part-time girls soon to be 1, and 7 full-time boys
).

I have mostly boys enrolled and one mom commented on all the "************" (since when is testost-erone a bad word?) my house has (as I have 4 boys of my own) - but my few DCG's parents haven't said anything about all the boys.
I would probably get just as annoyed if those comments were being made everyday.Comment

When I first started daycare 5 years ago, my ds was the only boy for over a year. Then it changed to being all boys & my dd being the only girl.
Now it's a good mix w the preschoolers (3 girls/2 boys), toddlers are mostly girls (5 girls, 1 boy) And babies are 2 girls & 1 boy. (I have lots of part timers so the mix changes daily).
I think young kids like playing with 'friends' not just boys or just girlsComment

This is the first time in 6 yrs that I've had a girl majority (10:2). The boys fit in just fine. They all play well together and have a tendency to mash up characters to reenact movies. Think Frozen and Spider-Man in a Pixar movie. It hilarious.Comment

AT one point and time I had 4 boys and one girl. Infact it was for almost a year. The girls mom didn't really care, they got along great. Now I have 4 boys and 2 baby girls. Funny how things change through the years. That mom shouldnt care as long as her boy is happy. (ooooyyy!)

just let the "ladies" put makeup on him and dress him up so maybe she can confirm her fears

I've always had mostly boys. For almost a year I had ALL boys! (6 total) I was happy to finally get a couple girls, now I'm back to one girl and the rest boys. The kids don't mind, they all play nicely. The parents have never minded (that I know of)Comment

I have had times over the years where we have had more boys than girls and vice versa . A parent may have made a comment here and there, but this DCM says something pretty much every. day. DCB doesn't seem to notice at all.
Same DCB at pick up time everyday "what did you bring me" repeatedly until she keeps saying " nothing". She stops to talk to another parent in the driveway when DCB gets in the car finds a bag of gummie bears and runs over to the fence to show all the kids what " he got". DCM looked so emberassed it was priceless. I said " oh, did you bring those over to share with your friends". Heck no. What I really wanted to say was " yeah, nothing says I love you like high fructose corn syrup".
