Just Received a Text From DCM

[KiddieCahoots]

I don't think that the DCD clarified if it was only to borrow or to replace the item.

I agree with all of you that said to put it up away from her. Mom and dad are setting her up for failure. You can't break the rules everywhere else then have mommy and daddy fix it. Imagine this child in a few years? 10 years, 20 years.

The only thing she will be playing with is the zipper on her orange suit and the bars she sits behind.

She broke the rule, parents need to back this up ans STOP trying to fix her mistake. She made a bad choice, she and the parents have to accept it and suffer the consequences.

That made my day!

Well? How did pick up go??

I think everyone is being a little hard on dcd! I think he probably thought of it as a good consequence that dcg had to replace the item she broke with one of her own items. Its like with an older child who breaks something having to use their own money to buy a replacement. I really don't think DCD was trying to pacify dcg, but to make her "pay" for a new toaster by giving up her's at home. We see it from the aspect of now dcg has a replacement toy but I really don't think parents think the same way (dad at least, mom sounds like a piece of work).

I don't like that he asked to see the broken one but I bet that was mom talking. I probably would have just told him I threw it away because it was broken and unsafe for the children to use. And I would take the new toaster and put it out of toy rotation for a while but I do think dcd had good intentions with making the child replace the item she broke.

This is where I'm at. I thought dcd did a good thing by making her give up her own toaster. I didn't perceive it that he was bringing another toaster for dcg to play with.

Maybe, but he's still married to his wife.
I'm sure mom won't allow pookie to go without a toaster, or anything else that someone challenges her pook on.
I'm betting mom went out and bought a new toaster for home use, and dad probably won't have much to say about it.

[Mom o Col]

In what other profession could we have such a long discussion about a broken toy toaster? I love this thread and it was food for thought...no pun intended. And it made me laugh...especially when my idol, NannyDe said this:She can get her toaster on at home.::

I am with you guys. As a parent I would have probably done the same as dcd and make her give up her own. I would not have thought of it as so she had one to play with at daycare.

[CraftyMom]

When I read that dad wanted to see the toaster and then replaced it, I figured he wanted to make sure he was giving you an even trade, not to verify that it was broken

[daycare]

Now thinking about it, yes I think it was the right thing that DCD did, but it is the pricipal in which they did it. MAD because a toy was taken away, so they send one to school so DCG goes not have to go without./

I guess I would not really be too upset until I hear the response from DCP when they find out that DCG pookie butt or whatever you ladies have named her didn't get to play with the toaster she brought.

that would me like my son taking another kids pokemon card and ripping it up because he lost the game and me going out and buying him a new one so he could play the game again with his friend....Oh heck to the NOooooooooooooooooo. I would make my son do chores to pay for that new pokemon card, give it to his friend with a deep sincere apology maybe even help him make a card to give his friend to show that he is sorry and then my son can't play pokemon cards for awhile.

Maybe I am just mean

You are killing me Diva. UPDATE please!

I had a ding dong a few hours ago. I have no life so I can think of nothing but toasters and tiaras.

Any chance they went out and bought Pookster a new toaster last night? Was it her toaster or a new one?

Nan- what is a ding dong food? I thought that was a bad name you call someone??

Ding dong means a thought I should have thunk before

This was my take on Toastergate 2014, too. Way too many noises being made to try and distract you from the original offense--I thought my 12 year-old was the master at that game! I don't think that I have a life either because now, I really want a toy toaster and a ding-dong.::

LOL I can't keep up......Just when I think that I got it, I don't.

I thought it was one of those cakes like a donuts or twinkie? (SP)
