Funny Craigslist Ad

[Missani]

No I really think it's legit! I see ads like this all the time on Craigslist.

When I went to the class for licensing, you would be surprised at all of the crazies who want to become licensed!! I would not put my child with any of the people in there! The people in there were asking questions about how to become licensed if they are being investigated by CPS or if it's a problem that their felon/"ex"-convict relative lives at the home daycare.

When I went to the second licensing class (so the lady was almost through the semi-long process), I had a lady who wanted to know if she could continue to collect her child care assistance to take care of her own children. When she was told that she could not, she asked if she could give "her money" to her friend so that her friend's kids could come to her daycare and be paid. Ummm, probably not!

As far as this ad, I love the pricing too! If you bring your kid for 6 hrs. a day, it's $25 per day ($125/week) but if you come 5 days/week it's only $65? That's a great discount!

I could use another table and chairs...I wonder if my parents want to "donate" them? ::

In the childcare section, I saw this gem this morning. Now, understand that I am ALL FOR breastfeeding, milk sharing (where if you have extra milk you pump it and donate it for people who can't), etc...but this just crosses a line...

Can nurse your newborn

if you cannot breastfeed your newborn, i am younger and willing to
i believe breastfeeding is the best for newborns
you can email me with any questions

there was a crazy guy on craigslist "collecting" breastmilk for a supposed fragile/sickly child. he would put up an ad looking for moms that had a huge stash or overage.

I breastfed and these ads are really disturbing to me...I'm all for milk sharing for preemies, etc. (Lord knows I could have fed a small village) but I think the appropriate thing is the MILK-BANK at a hospital where they can run the appropriate tests, proper storage & distribution. JMHO...

I had to read this 5 times as my brain was having issues figuring out what was being said. I think I blew a fuse while trying to decipher it.

I include healthy meals and snack that are included in the tuition. My home is child/ baby friendly and childproof, large back yard, and screened front porch and back porch. I have tons of toys.

I've seen some like this and worse on our CL!

But recently I've seen some that are for young girls offering to babysit and THEN attaching a provocative pic of themselves. Like complete with cleavage and one I saw was a pic of herself in a tight fitting shirt standing in the bathroom sideways in the mirror taking a pic of herself. I don't know if it's actually some kind of advertising for an "escort" that I don't know about or if these young girls don't actually know the pic is inappropriate. What do y'all think? Have you seen those sort of ads too?
