I blocked her IP. She can't even see Daycare.com from her computer. She can use a different computer but if I know its her (and I will) I will also block it.

I am so grateful for this site! One of the things I like is that we can disagree respectfully and know that we all have our differing opinions, but at the end of the day we all have the common goal of taking care of children which can be a very tough thing to do sometimes. Yes, we sometimes "complain about our jobs", but who doesn't? A lot of us here are in this alone with no assistant. I find one of the most difficult things is that I have no co workers. At my out of the house job I can vent to my co workers if need be because they understand since they are in the same profession. I view the providers here as my co workers who understand and most importantly have advice in tough situations. It also makes a world of difference to know that across the country and beyond providers experience the same issues, that it isn't just me, and it isn't something I am doing wrong. How many of us here have situations where, without the advice of the providers here, may continue to let parents walk all over us not realizing that it is ok to say no and to not feel bad for enforcing our policies. I can't say enough about how much these providers have helped me become a better provider.

For the first time since I've been on this forum, in the past couple of weeks I've been finding myself getting highly annoyed at comments by one provider. Things that just seem to be causing an upset unnecessarily. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and has the right to express it. But if someone doesn't agree with our opinion we can walk away, stop reading or stop commenting. There is no need to think that our opinion is the only opinion and if someone doesn't agree, feel the need to prove to them that they are wrong and we are right (general we, and they)

Thank you Michael for saying something

Hallelujah! **bows to Michael**

I have had my fair share of disagreements on here...taking care of children brings up strong feelings in people. HOWEVER, Michael maintains this forum for us FOR FREE and is a gracious host. Say what you want about us members (although that gets me too) but don't disrespect Michael.

The disrespect makes me sad. Really sad.

In this day and age it should be pretty easy to figure out what it takes to pay for and maintain a site like this that we all get for FREE.

Have some respect and gratitude for this forum.

Oh, I have been waiting all day for you to chime in! Agree 100%.

I was reading the other drama thread, and then I came here.

What a relief!

Thanks, Michael.

This forum has been my #1 source of support and advice and I'm so grateful for it!

Unregistered, you better check yourself.

As my kids would say: True that!

I'm sorry??? Did you just make a large financial contribution to Daycare.com that entitles you to an opinion on the owner of this FREE to the public site?? No??? Then find the door. Thanks.

Thank you for all you do Michael. It can't be easy running with a pack of ladies all the time.
