Just Received a Text From DCM

LMAO!


They told me they were leaving in fall. I gave notice for mid aug (almost a full 30 days).

It was awkward. I did my little speech, and then Dcm said that they were on the waiting list, but she called to see if the had the space yesterday, and they did. I'm fairly certain that's a blatant lie, she had enrolled her and was accepted but didn't want to tell me until the last minute. Telling me yesterday was her way of sticking it to me. Whatever. Dcm said she feels dcg has outgrown my program. I just did the eyebrow raise.

Dcg isn't even CLOSE to outgrowing my program, and unfortunately our UPK program isn't so great. I feel badly for dcg, but there's nothing I can do.

Ummm Diva and friends... can I be referred to as the all powerful all knowing for calling the wait list lie?

I realize I'm coming in WAY late on this, but I'm blown away by this dcm--it's that sense of entitlement so many parents are now teaching their children. Lord forbid they ever experience any disappointment! I frequently remind my dck's this: "These are my toys. I share them with you all, as long as you treat them nicely. If you mistreat my toys, you won't be allowed to play with them." Sometimes I'll throw this in: "I wouldn't come to your house and treat your toys the way you're treating mine.".......but I'll admit I think it would be fun sometimes! Lol

Hey, those are my lines!

[daycare]

I think that she needs a parting gift..

but just give her a loaf of bread instead....

You called it!

[EntropyControlSpecialist]

What a rude woman. I an glad you did an eyebrow raise. I would have been tempted to insert an eyeroll there as well.

Nan, you should change your user name to all powerful, alk knowing, daycare whisperer extraordinaire

I say this ALL the time ! My dh walked in once in the middle of my speech and couldn't stop laughing. He just kept saying 'those are all yours!!?' Lol

I will often break up an argument between the kids of "That's mine! No it's mine! No it's mine!" By taking the toy away and saying "actually, it's mine and I'm sharing with you. I see you don't appreciate my sharing so now I will take it back"

Or when I hear the "it's mine" argument I'll ask "wait... who's toy is it?" They respond "yours..." I tell them "that's right, now are you going to share my toy or should I take it back?" Usually ends with me taking it away of course

So is Toastergate over? My 16yo dd has been following this thread because I told her how funny it had gotten and she wants to know if the new upk turned out to be the best thing since sliced bread?! BAHAHAHAHA!

Nan, you should change your user name to all powerful, alk knowing, daycare whisperer extraordinaire

I think you should start a petition to Michael to give me the longest username in the history of daycare.com

I think your choice of usernames for me is spot on.

Let's go with that.

[TaylorTots]

1. I love this thread. Absolutely.Love.It.

2. Toastergate ROFL!!!!!

3. WTG Diva!!

4. Quote from a DCK to DCM: "I'm gonna do daycare when I get old so that I can have all the cool toys that Miss A has! It's sad you don't have any toys mom, maybe you can play with Miss A's? She likes to share them!!" WIN!

Dcd dropped off. He did ask to see the toaster because dcm asked how a cookie could have broken it. I showed him, and then he went to his car and came back with dcg's play toaster from home. Dcg gave us the replacement toy, dcd apologized and said DCM over reacted and dcg blew it out of proportion. I handed dcd a copy of my discipline policy and told him that any future questions, he should refer dcm to it. Dcd seemed embarrassed.


I was/am fully ready to term if it happens again.

That was a good punishment, having to replace what she broke with one of her own toys. very good DCD. (of course dcm will most likely by dcg a new one)
