Did You Get Thanked Today?

[Maggie]

I don't think any of my parents know there is a provider appreciation day and I didn't either until I found this forum. I have a teacher mom who always brings me gifts during teacher appreciation week. This week it was a dozen eggs from her backyard chickens, a card that says "Thank you for loving me even when I'm crabby" with a gift card to the local crab shack, and today a 30 pack of my favorite beer! They are an awesome family and it is nice to be appreciated.

I get a thank you every day.

I have today off, but yesterday I received apple bread from one family and flowers from another! I was surprised because this is the first year anyone has been thoughtful enough to give us gifts!

Uh, I got paid by one parent AFTER I reminded him it was payday. Not a word from the other 3.

My day changed ... One parent went out of her way to get little miss after daddy "forgot" and she brought me a 3 pack of wipes, the late pu fee and a bottle of wine; one other family just didn't pay ( Friday is not one of their days, but they blamed one another for not coming over with $ - they just separated) - Monday morning will b interesting

None of my parents even knew what day it is, but they all left with a pretty potted plant for mom's day! I don't really care, though, because I know they are thankful for me. And I am thankful for them! We need an "I am not a crappy parent" appreciation day! They give me very little issue and love their kiddos, so that is all the "gift" I need

One dcm brought in a watercolor picture her darling sweet 3 yo dd made, and a sweet note, plus an adorable picture of her dd dressed in her dance costume(sweetest lil dancing mouse I've ever seen!!).
Dcm said it was for provider appreciation day and asked if I knew that was today. I said 'nah, I don't keep up with stuff like that'.

Nope. Of 6 families, one gave me a box of chocolates and a card yesterday (she's a teacher so I think she's the only one that knows). The chocolates I'll prob share with the kiddos and assistant since I'm not into them much, but the card was sweet and the thought was sweet.

I got a $50 gift card and a tear inducing card from one family to "someone who teaches everything". Nothing from the others, but there isn't a week goes by that someone doesn't express appreciation. I have the best parents I've ever had. I think I'll just keep adding grades so that I never have to let them go.::

Well said. I got a few small things, which was nice. But what's better is I have good parents who really care about their kids and show me appreciation every day. I'm very lucky.
