I HAVE To Get This Off My Chest...

[jessrlee]

I'm really sorry if you sit through this, Hubs is deployed so my usual unload guy is AWOL.

I had an interview tonight... The WORST interview of my life. The interview from hell!

So in walks Mom, gma, gpa, and db1, db2. I show him my space, chat for a second and the FIRST question is gpa-"Do you let N's (black people) in your daycare?". I respond that yes, I accept all race, sex, religion, and creed. He responds with the most derogitory term I have ever heard (I had to google it when I got done. The people I hang with don't talk like that!!) and the poor kids mimic him!! So it goes on with mom telling me she doesn't disipline her kids, that she lets them choose when or if they want to go to daycare, I am not ALLOWED to make them do anything including but not limited to nap, listen, eat, stay indoors, stay outdoors, eh... anything the precious little dears don't want to do. Yup! That's right.

So of couse I jumped at the opportunity to take care of this fine family! I showed them the door with a grin on my face, and came upstairs to laugh my tail off and wonder at society!

What do you think? Was I on Punked? ::::

Oh wow, it's hard to believe there are really people out there like that. I wish you were on punked.
At least you found out what they were like before you invested any more time/money into them.
Good riddance

Thank you to you and your husband for your services on our behalf for our country! What branch is he in?

[Michael]

Believe me you were not on Punked. You can the correct answer. What was the term gramps used? You can PM me if you don't want to post it here.

I would have been looking for the video camera from that "What would you do?" show....

Just wow....

[jessrlee]

I really just can't seem to get unhappy. This family was so over the top awful it doesn't seem real! Poor kids though, they are due to lead unhappy lives if the gpa has anything to say about it!

Hubs is ARNG. He is currently serving in Afghanistan. You are more than welcome. He adores his job, and I love that he has a job that makes him so happy. He will be home super soon. 4 mos left to go! (Psst: Then I get to go on my first cruise! We are taking a waaaaay late honeymoon!)

Seriously... the minute i heard the N word the interview would have been over.

[My4SunshineGirlsNY]

Are people really like this?? OMG, my jaw is on the floor and I can't pick it up. That is just amazing.

[jessrlee]

Seriously... the minute i heard the N word the interview would have been over.

I know and I agree 100%. However I am alone and doing an interview with three people that just might have been crazy. I would much rather just tell mom in a couple of days that I don't have room than confront them. Sorry. I had to think about safety. (Not to mention the delayed reaction thing. I am still in shock!)

[daycare]

wow what is wrong with all these nutty people... I am so sorry that you had to deal with this, but it sounds like you did a great job. Good job thinking thingsd through and not reacting. I am always alone too becuase of my husbands job and it really makes me think and keeps me on my toes.

I actually termed a family once when the DCD made a comment about how much he disliked asian people. My husband is asian and my 3 yr old was sitting right there when it was said. I waited it out too and at the end of the week I told them to go find a daycare that better suited their needs.

some people are just so uneducated its sicking and sad........

Believe me you were not on Punked. You can the correct answer. What was the term gramps used? You can PM me if you don't want to post it here.

Michael, now I'm curious too!

This is disgusting. At least you had the professionalism to respond to him and complate the interview. If anyone had used the N word or any other derogatory term in my home I would have ended the interview immediately. Don't let the doorknob hit you on the way out!

[SilverSabre25]

I'm curious about the term too...

sounds awful. Hopefully you've got a couple more interviews lined up and you find a perfectly wonderful family to balance out the sick miserable cesspool that this family sounds like.

[DCMomOf3]

Believe me you were not on Punked. You can the correct answer. What was the term gramps used? You can PM me if you don't want to post it here.

I would like a PM too if you are unwilling to post here.

[marniewon]

Sheesh, might as well post it here, as so many people want to know what it is....me included! LOL

Glad you showed them the door and you and your family are safe. You showed a lot of restraint after hearing the N word....I would have thrown them out the door too!

[nannyde]

The racist comment would have bought them a ticket to end of interview ... bye bye.

So it goes on with mom telling me she doesn't disipline her kids, that she lets them choose when or if they want to go to daycare, I am not ALLOWED to make them do anything including but not limited to nap, listen, eat, stay indoors, stay outdoors, eh... anything the precious little dears don't want to do.

Yup

Now few will be THAT bold and say it in THOSE words but THIS is what is coming our way. At least with her she said it specifically instead of using psychobabble words to tell you she doesn't want a no to come her little ones way.

Gpa said " "Do you really want to be hanging around with a bunch of porch monkeys?"

I don't know if she felt especially bold with Gma and Gpa or what? This would have been the kiddos first time in daycare because the grandparents have always taken care of them. I just honestly think these people were crazy. Way too hillbilly for psychobabble! I'm glad that it only took a few minutes to know that I could not deal with this family, and hopefully they have an idea of the expense and expectations of daycare!
