Quote of the Day

My dcg's mom came in this morning and says "oh she's in underwear today. She's been doing good at home" (she comes here 1 day a week). I said, oh has she been completely dry? Well most of the time. I said, yup she will not be in underwear here yet until she's 100% dry for 2 weeks. Seriously?

I get so upset when they do this. Last time it happened I knew the girls weren't ready(twins) but they insisted on coming to dc on a Monday a.m. in underwear. So I asked dcm, so they're going poop in the potty too? Well um no. Yeh, sure, I don't mind cleaning up some really gross messy bottoms because your dds run your life and get 100% what they want because of course, being 3 they must know more than anyone else by now. Back into pull-ups they went.

Exactly and I don't rinse out poopy underwear. I throw them away. I don't play that game either.

I forgot the best part. Dad said "she refused to wear a pullup" . I couldn't help it, I busted out laughing and said oh ok.

I’ve had this exact same thing happen. Mom said he “wouldn’t let me” put a pull up on him so she sent him in underwear. Kid hadn’t even started potty training yet. I won’t rinse poopy underwear either. Those go in the garbage.

Don't ya just love it when 3 year olds can boss their parents around. Wonder what it'll be like when they're 13?

That is exactly the truth. Usually when a parent says that the child won't let them do something, I come back with "wait until they're a teenager". That usually makes them go hmmmm. My kids are 21 and 18. I think I know a thing or two. We never had discussions about what they were going to wear, where they were going to sit, what toy they were going to take where. My son went to daycare for nearly 3 years. We would take him, he got out of the car, walked in (wasn't carried at 2 or 3), never took a toy, gave us a hug at the door, walked in not kicking and screaming. I don't know how we did it

Have any of you noticed how some parents make their kids walk in on their own at age 1-2 but at age 3-4 start carrying them in again....like they regress or something. Every day, I tell my mom, I feel so sorry for kindy teachers with all these children with no independence or self-help skills.

Drives me crazy when they carry them in, when they take their shoes off for them etc. My 22 month old dcb stands there with his feet in the air while mom takes them off for him. I tell her every day that when we come in from outside, he does that all by himself. She says, oh yea we've been working on it at home and I say, yea I see that lmao

I had a 4 yo, then turned 5 yo and he would still lay on the floor and let mom or g'ma take his shoes off for him. I'm like...what????? I don't think I put on or took off his shoes once the whole 18 months he was with me.

In the garbage? I just bag the underwear up, poop and all, tie a knot in the bag, and hand it to the parents at pick up

I love MOnday quotes of the day.

Mom of 13 month old. He just got up, so he's just had a bottle and oatmeal. I think well that's good. Oh no, mom cut the bottle open more so he could have the oatmeal right in the bottle. Again, he's 13 months old.

Mom of 21 month old dcb. He wore the same outfit for a day and a half this weekend. He would not allow us to change it. Oh and he has a runny nose. Yup, I just texted her. I'm wiping it every 10 to 15 minutes! Thick gross stuff. She says to him when she drops him off as he is playing across the room and his nose starts running "just wipe it on your shirt". She is the one I posted a picture of dcb's shirt a week or so ago and played guess what this is. She came in that time and wiped his nose with his shirt and I was so shocked I didn't know what to say. Well as she told him to do it himself this time I was ready. I said no no no don't do that. Then he will lean against everything and get snot all over the house. She said better on his shirt than on the blanket he was leaning on. I said, well maybe I will just wipe it duh!

I can see a parent thinking that it isn't a whole lot different than those pouch things that the kids have to **** their food from.

That's what I was thinking too. I dislike those things too!

BARF!!!! I don't even know how I'd deal with this. I also really prefer to wipe little kids' noses myself until they are old enough to do it themselves.

Licensing won't let us rinse anything, so it all goes into a bag and gets sent home. Usually it only takes 1-2 bags before the parents realize the child isn't ready for undies here.
