It happened! Someone ran into the gate!

[crazydaycarelady]

Someone ran into the gate this morning and then left. It was still dark so I don't know which parents it was (we have reflectors all over that darn thing too!) I am assuming they'll be back in a few minutes acting all surprised that "someone" ran into the gate.

So the gate is stuck in a half open position and I am guessing the opening mechanism is probably tweaked. Hubby is going to be so pi$$ed when he wakes up and I tell him!

Cameras will end the foolishness.

Unbelievable I am so sorry that you are still dealing with parent issues.

[Second Home]

Of course they did .

I would check all the dcp's cars to see which one has some damage or whose paint scraped .

[Second Home]

I hope whoever did it will be given a bill for the repairs .

[TaylorTots]

O_O

Cameras also give you legal support if you want them to pay to fix it...


I think you have the craziest parents. :hug:

I don't know who did it. It was a sedan type car but that is all I could see. I can eliminate a few families based on that.

Seriously! Get cameras and put an end to this!

I'd start with the most likely candidate and ask them outright. If no one cops to it, call a parent meeting.

Tick down the list of ridiculous offenses and then tell them that since no one has admitted the damage, everyone's rates are going up to compensate (or they are splitting the bill). The one you complains "unfair" the loudest is the most likely culprit.

If you know for SURE that it wasn't a particular family, you can always warn them ahead of time that the s*** is going to hit the fan and they should consider themselves excluded.

Ugh! I really don't want to invest in cameras. 23 years of dc and need cameras NOW? *smh

Yes! You need a meeting with these people! Just like in kindergarten, one kid can ruin it for the whole class! One kid acts up, the whole class loses recess!

At this point I would DEFINITELY be making SOMEONE pay! If you have to split the bill among them all then that's the way to go!

My husband would be spitting fire!

[CraftyMom]

Tell each and every parent you need to look at their car for damage, this has gotten ridiculous!

Unless someone was just turning around in your driveway and it was a dcp at all?

I've been thinking of this the entire time they have been destroying your property.

[NeedaVaca]

It (the camera) would be cheaper than all your repairs though...plus you would always know who did the damage! Why oh why would people be so rude?!? I am baffled by the amount of damage your families have done to your property! I also agree with Heidi and would be speaking to every family about this, I wouldn't be very nice about it either...

[KiddieCahoots]

You don't think someone did this to your gate on purpose do you?
I mean ....how stupid can a person be?
And....sadly, the last time I checked, MA**hole drivers were one of the worst on record.
