What Makes You're Daycare "Mean"

[Ariana]

Us too!! This money goes to paying down medicial debt faster but we could get by with just my husband's income. We're careful with money, pay cash for our one car, no fancy phones, no cable etc but so many think "oh you can afford to live on the water with just one income, you don't really need to be paid for this..." Yeah people, trust me, when this debt is gone, I will be done, but until then, I don't work for free.

Anyways, charging for services, not willing to do pay by the day, excluding sick kids, refusing to baby children..That's my list

Same for us! We don't need me to work but I want to work and extra money is always nice. I like having something to do even if it is not much.

Meanwhile my DCM nickles and dimes over everything and while I basically wear the same 3 pairs of pants and 5 shirts she is wearing a different outfit every.single.day. Plus she is paying me to watch her kid while she is at home.

At my center:

-No outside food/drink. The walk of shame out of the building with the half donut they managed to sneak past administration doesn't even bother most of them.

-No toys from home. "But Johnny wanted to bring it today."

-Anything related to the sick policy. If a child even looks questionable, I'll check their temp at drop-off and parents get obnoxiously whiny when they have to take their sick kid right back home. Had a parent last week pick up their kid with a 103 temp and asked if they could come back later that day if they went to the doctor.
