Comment still bugging me

[daycare]

SO the other day I left in the morning to go to the store to grab a card for my own child's teacher for Teacher Appreciation Week. My husband was there and my morning asst was on her way to my house...... I was well within my ratios at that time in the morning.

It is normal that my husband is always here, but not normal that I leave the DC without notice.

Well when I got back my Asst tells me that one of my parents made a comment that bothered her. So I ask what did she say.

My asst tells me that when she arrived that DCM was sitting in the DCroom and said "I didn't want to leave until you got here"

Now this family has been with me for almost 4 years. The child enrolled is 2, but I had the older sibling for 3 years before enrolling this child.

Am I reading too much into this, or should I say something. I love this family, the mother hands down is one of my favorites I have here. I am actually shocked to hear that she said this.

From day 1 my hubby has been here as a helper in my childcare, so I dont know what has changed with them and if something needs to be addressed.


WWYS or WWYD???

Was it JUST your husband there? Maybe she thought there had to be two adults there at all times? Idk, it's hard to know what people are thinking without just asking them.

she knows what the rules are, she works for LIC.

I wouldnt worry about it. You are going to stress yourself out worrying about every comment.....if she is really concerned, she can come to you and speak to you in a mature way about any concerns. I wouldnt go looking for trouble though and would just leave it for now.

Maybe she simply didn't want to burden your DH with any more children (until assistant got there) as you yourself said it wasn't normal for you to leave your DH alone with the kids.

I know it's easiest to jump to the worse case scenario but I usually try to let sleeping dogs lie.

If DCM says anything directly to you about being uncomfortable or having an issue about whatever, then you can cross that bridge when you get to it.

Until then, I wouldn't worry about anything.

I wouldn't read anything into it. I'd just let it go.

Is your husband certified to be your assistant through licensing? If not, maybe that's what she is getting at

[daycare]

yes he is cleared and certified.

Thanks for making me feel better. It was an odd comment made by dcm and I didn't want to make a mountain out of a ant hill so I thought I would run it across you more wise women...

thanks for responding. I will leave it.

Maybe she thought she was helping by staying there. Or thought something was wrong because you weren't there and wanted to ask your assistant.
