Just Ooooh!!!

be sure to tell mom at pick up

I'm sorry that this mom did this to you. Be sure you tell her what the aftermath was and how it made her child feel and how it cost you extra money. Really play it up, too. Then tell her (don't ask), that parents aren't allowed to eat any daycare food unless they've been invited. I'd add that to your contract too. As a parent, I have never eaten daycare food unless I've been invited by the daycare for special parent events. This parent is rude and should be on the short list for a possible term if she keeps up this kind of behavior!

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME?

I would have also told her after she said well just give my child one. I would have said well I would but according to daycare regulations I HAVE TO SERVE ***X AMT OF EACH FOOD GROUP PER MEAL!!!

OMG I am just sitting here like this

[PitterPatter]

Well I started in by being polite and telling her again that I only make enough for each child and with her taking that sausage this morn she caused a big problem. Before I could finish she said "geez didn't we already cover this this morning? It's no big deal. I'm sorry I won't eat MY kids food anymore ok?" Then she rolled her eyes as she turned her head.

Oooooh I felt my backbone stiffen up real quick! I got a little loud and said "EXCUSE ME, BUT it was MY food until it was served to your child. And it is a big deal when your poor kid was left with only 1 sausage and the others had 2. He was crying this morning because it wasn't fair!" She said "over sausage? whatever he'll get over it. I'm not allowed to touch YOUR food I get it soooorrry. I'll see ya tomorrow"

I stood there thinking hmmm did I win this arguement? I ended up barking at her a little bit so I guess I made my point. I don't care she's rude and I am not stooping to her level to stand there and argue anymore when her skull is too thick to get through. I think when we hand out Mothers day gifts I will take a bite out of hers.

[Symphony]

That is just beyond anything I have ever heard. What a way to start AND end your day! That just blows me away what she did in the first place and how she acted at the end of the day. Wow.

I think I would have answered her "see you in the morning" with a "I'll have all your son's things packed for you on the porch"

Noooo! Let her child take a bite out of it! In fact, let him eat HALF of it - about 15 minutes before pick up time! ::::::
(Mommy won't care, it's no big deal.)

[Blackcat31]

WOW! That is pretty ballsy!!

Reading posts like this makes me eternally grateful for the fact that my coatroom/entry way is completely separated from the main daycare area by a half door. NO ONE over age 7 ever steps foot past my gate. (unless they are blood related to me )

This could not have happened here no matter how hungry a parent was or how long their arms are either.....

At pick up, you should start going through mom's purse and if she asks, just tell her you are looking for some gum! ::

[SilverSabre25]

btw...have I mentioned that this darn post has made me crave sausage? ::

Wanna share your recipe? If it's that good, must be worth it!

Are u serious? It's nothing special. I think she was just hungry. :confused:

2 lbs ground pork
2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon rubbed sage
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme


Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate overnight for flavors to blend. Mix a little again the next day, shape into patties and freeze. This way I can take out just as many as I need each morning. Very quick and easy. Works out great, until the other day that is.

I actually started putting gates up to deter another DCM who likes to walk around my house chatting on her cell phone. It has been working!! However, this DCM just steps over the gates. At 1st I didn't mind too much because it was to throw away the ****ers and candy bars she allowed the child to eat on the way to daycare. She finally did listen to my repeated requests not to bring food to daycare. Now she takes it off of him when she gets in the door and goes and throws it away. After this though I am stopping by the store to get a little garbage can for the front entry so that she can toss it there. Such a shame the constant changes that have to be made for silly things.

I have to go buy a gate too, for the front porch today because another DCM always lets her kids (2 and 3) run down the porch/deck and get into things before even ringing the doorbell. I have repeatedly asked her to control them when arriving. Today I had yard decor nic/nacs like turtles, kids and blessing rocks etc waiting to be put in the flower bed. The 2 yr old decided he's going to throw all of the nic/nacs off onto the cement patio shatering a couple. DCM just stood there yelling stop it as he threw them. I hear the yelling and open the door and ask what's going on? She is standing at the door the kids down at the end like always. She comes in, tells me what was going on and says "he broke some sorry". That was it. I told her I have repeatedly asked they not be permitted down to the end of the porch as I have plants herbs, and such there. I even took my folding porch chairs at 1 point and sat them across blocking access. I told her I will be buying a gate today to stop it once and for all. She looks at the kids and says "see what u made her have to do now" UGH! Some people just don't get it! Next time she will be charged for the damage!

Ugh. I'm sorry you're going thru that! I don't think I'd wait til next time. Why do people REFUSE to control their children?!

Good job! That's exactly what I would have done - with dignity and control - but I would have done it.

Do you see how you just got played? She did exactly what she needed to do to accomplish two things:

1) She allowed her kids to do whatever they wanted and not deal with it.
2) She said words that deflected everything off of her. She said words to the kids "see what YOU made HER have to do". And the for free word to you "sorry".

BRILLIANT

Any time you give a parent opportunity to parent their children on your property you are taking a risk that there is going to be property damage and injuries. The best practice I know is to limit it to the absolute smallest opportunity for anything to happen.

In my home the kids walk about fifteen feet from the car to my front door. I do arrivals and departures at the front door. This keeps the opportunity for problems just on the walk up the sidewalk and the three square feet at the front door.

If I could manage it I would hand pick them out of the car and deliver them back at the end of the day.

Have the Mom replace the broken items and sign an agreement that she will physically keep the children in her hands from the point where they get out of the car into your house OR she can purchase a gate and install it for you... whichever works for her... but it must be done within two days.

i'd bill her for the broken nic nacs and for the gate. you only have to buy it because of her kids!

I have other kids inside when they arrive. I sometimes watch for them so I can cut them off as soon as they hit the porch but today very early coming so I wasn't even expecting them. Then I heard the yelling and went to see. that's when I caught DCM standing there and DCB down at the end with nicnacs in hand!

I can't leave kids alone in the house to get them from the car. She has to come in and sign forms anyway.

I know she purposly placed the blame on the kids that's what I found so ignorant. I wrote a reminder right on her daycare bill today so that the DCD would see it. He really ears the pants in that family. She tells me how she has to answer to him and he handles all the finances etc. So now they both are aware in writing! I am getting a gate here in 30 mins. I can't wait just to get that headache over with!
