Most Embarrassing Thing Your Child Has Done ...

[midaycare]

So what's the most embarrassing thing your child has done in front of dcp's? Last week I had a dcb starting and on his first day my DS comes down in his pajamas as dcb and dcd are arriving. My DS let's go the biggest, wettest toot you have ever heard. And then he follows it up by not one, but TWO more that were each worse than the last one.

I was mortified.

Yesterday while my only dck's are being picked up, I'm explaining how everyone had a pretty grouchy day and I was saying how I'm ready for school! My lovely son who's getting ready to enter kindergarten pipes up "I can't wait to not be around those twins all day"...he said it under his breath so I acted as though it was never said

My husband is Puerto Rican. When my son was about 4, he asked "am I 1/2 Puerto Rican 1/2 human" to a room full of Puerto Ricans. Thankfully almost everyone was choking laughing. His 80 year old great grandfather not so much. He is 13 now and at every family get together someone brings that up.

Oh my goodness, ha ha ha. I'm so glad he said it quietly. My DS is starting to feel that way, too. All the kids follow him around all day and it drives him nuts.

Hit a girl when she was visiting with her mom to consider my program! I guess I handled it ok, because they took the spot, but oh, boy, was I mortified!

Told a daycare parent he did not like their son because he (their kid) was a bully.

Lesson learned by DCP? Don't ask a kid a question you don't want to know the answer to. Kids tell it straight.

Awe! I hope you told him he was 100% cute

My DS who was 3 at the time was always grabbing onto me and generally in my face when people arrived to pick up or drop off. At one pickup, he went to climb up on me and pulled my pants down so my behind was hanging out in front of a DCM. I still see her everyday but it is less awkward now.

I would be giving him a secret high five in my head after that, .

I play songs on my phone for the kids to dance to. My DD likes some of the newer pop songs that I have to go onto YouTube to play. I don't want the kids to see the video because the girls are not dressed modestly so I cover the phone and play the songs.
So one day as the kids were dancing and a dcm was watching my DS asked me if there were "boo boos" on my phone. I knew what he meant but I tried to play it off like he really meant boo boos like a cut or wound. He was a wise one that day and walked up to me and pointed to my two boo boos to explain what he meant. I had to then explain to the dcm....she was not offended.

Daughter (8) walked through the house butt naked while DCM was dropping off. Her reason- "I'm taking a shower. I need an umbrella so I don't get my hair wet!"

This happened at my DD's second birthday party where her fellow DCKs and their parents were there as well as DD's DC caregiver. The party was at my house and while the kids were playing games in the den, DD gets up on the coffee table, pulled off her pants and undies and proceeded to march up and down the table saying, "s***, s***, s*** repeatedly as loud as she could. I prayed for the floor to open up and take me. Everyone else thought it was funny after the initial shock.

Once during an interview my newly potty trained son pulled his pants down and peed in the toy coffee pot in the play kitchen, right in the middle of my living room! It also has holes in it so there's pee all over the carpet! I grabbed a towel and put it down and put the toy in the sink but omg I know my face had to be beet red! I didn't get that family but I don't think that's why. They found someone in their home town instead of work town so Gma and dad can pick up easily. Dad thought it was pretty funny and mom said she's sure once her DS starts potty training they'll be in for all sorts of fun! LOL

My DS (at 4 yrs old) once told a daycare mom she had "bad air" (bad breath).

DCM was awesome about it and just apologized to my DS but of course, my DS couldn't leave it alone and told her that not only should she use mouth wash for her bad air but that she should brush better too; because some of her teeth were kinda yellow.

I was telling a dcm that her child had had a pretty good day, when my then 3 yo dd says "no he didn't! He was AWFUL!!"

basically I wouldn't let her take toys from him that day, which was naturally his fault::::::
