I have one that is teething but he's also not feeling very well. Not napping, very cranky and wants to be held all day.
Hasn't met the exclusionary rules so we've just had a cranky babe most the week. Every night at pick up, I relay the "tough" day he had to mom. Every time she says he's just teething.
She texted me this morning saying she was staying home today. Felt miserable. Just achy and not right.
I texted back that I hope she felt better soon but that she's probably just teething.
NO idea if she took it in stride or if she thought I was being snarky. But atleast she keeps her child home when she is home so that's good.Comment

What’s annoying me now? A really bad sinus infection and allergies too. Sinus headache, runny nose, cough, itchy eyes—ugh.Comment

I am annoyed because I feel like I am trapped in my living room! I have a daycare kid that is just boring. He doesn't play, doesn't have much personality at all, isn't interested in learning or doing crafts or anything! I am used to kids with super outgoing personalities who are constantly singing, dancing, having fun, etc. And kids that were super well behaved and would entertain themselves while I worked on my own crafts, etc. I interact with the kids ALL day. We are in a big open room so no matter where we are or what I am doing I am talking to them, singing with them, etc. But this little guy?? NOPE! He wants no part of any of it. He's my only older kid and there is a three month old baby too. If I so much as move in my chair he is up my butt. Where are you going? Why are you standing up? Why are you moving your leg? Why are you going over there? He won't cooperate with any play or crafts or anything but doesn't allow me to do anything either. He mostly sits and stares or gets into trouble all day. I am so tired of just being here! We can't go for a walk because he will go so far and then just stop and stand there and he complains the whole time. We go out to play and he just sits and complains. I am BORED out of my mind! I miss my old family and their kids! We had so much fun every day!Comment

Whining and tattling. I don’t want to get to upset when they tattle because I’m afraid they won’t tell me when I really need to know about something. I encourage them to work things out with each other and I’ve about cured them of telling me each time someone picks their nose but a couple of the girls just keep on and on.
And one little girl whines all the time to my assistant. She knows that whining won’t get her anywhere with me but sometimes it’s hard to resist when she makes her puppy dog face at me.Comment

Same here. And we need to have our facility name and license number on each sheet. I filled that area plus my sign in/out as 6:00am-6:00pm (licensed hours) and just photocopy that page every week.Comment

the twins! I swear these two must be raised by animals. We see mom and one of 6 others with her every day! Twin one screams randomly, eats out of the garbage, and cant sit. Twin two runs, all the time. Of course, I work at a center, so im stuck with them.Comment

Not daycare related, but last night in my shop. I cut out and fit up handles for 2 for clients' knives. Got them all fit and ready to shape and realized I had switched them and had the wrong handles on each knife. $100 down the drain due to stupidity.

I've got this dcm and every day at drop-off at pick-up (thankfully it's only a couple days a week), all she does is complain about how difficult her child is and how hard her life is. It's non-stop, as if she has it worse than everybody else.
She had a baby a few month ago, and hired someone to come help on the days that older dck isn't at daycare. She tells me that she needs the help because she can't handle it by herself. Someone needs to keep her older child busy.
Hmmm, how do I manage to care for 7+ kids (including her "difficult" child), and she struggles with 2?
I understand some people can't handle their children, but I'm the wrong person to be talking about it with. I don't get why she complains to me about her 2 kids, knowing I have several here everyday. I wish I could come up with a smart remark

I used to have a snarky reply for this type of parent, but now I just say something like "Oh well good for me then because I just love spending time with Miss Janie."I've got this dcm and every day at drop-off at pick-up (thankfully it's only a couple days a week), all she does is complain about how difficult her child is and how hard her life is.

When I was feeling snarky I would add something like: "We're making all kinds of memories that I hope will last her a lifetime!" Smile and welcome Janie in or wave goodbye if it's pick up time...
Most times when parents are venting to you about it, they don't even realize the irony of WHO they are complaining to.
! I think most of these parents simply like the attention and the easiest way to get it is to vent.
Also I think a majority of them really can't handle their kids. They are too concerned with being their friend.
Kids are easy for us, because we actually set boundaries and use the word no frequently.Comment

I could not agree more BC. All my parents want to be their kids friends. What happened to being a parent?I used to have a snarky reply for this type of parent, but now I just say something like "Oh well good for me then because I just love spending time with Miss Janie."
