SOO ANGRY and Upset

[dEHmom]

DCM 1 simply see's an opportunity to get "special" for her son and herself.

DCM 2 thinks it will be easy, the hours will be flexible and will allow her all kinds of fun time with her own son.

We all know they are BOTH wrong.

Thanks,
I can guarantee DCM #2 offered a fabulous rate. Even though she plans to charge 30/day for everyone else, I know the dcm #1 is getting a sweet deal. So I'm sure money is one factor here.
I just don't understand the structured part. Like they are 1.5 yrs old. I structure to age appropriateness.

Did the mom call you last night?

What I bet dcm #2 has figured out is if her son has that many dr. appointments and she couldn't keep a job outside of the home because of that how is she going to do it while running daycare? Wait till she gets a parent that says "No, you can't transport" or if she does have a sub, the sub calls in one day and can't help the day of the appointment.

nope! she had to work late and such. I have a feeling that it's just to explain why they are leaving and what not. Now that I had a sleep on it, I feel ok with it. I just hate the awkwardness now when dcd drops off.

I have already decided what to say when she phones and such, and I'll be nice and understand, but we are close enough to be honest, and I'll let her know that I'm hurt.

I also hate the feeling when someone knows something and you don't. kwim? where you might have said something, and they were thinking "we wont be here then anyway" but didn't say anything and just went along with it. or whatever you know? I know they haven't done anything wrong, and they weren't lying or anything, but it just feels that way. Like I said I can almost guarantee that they knew this for a few months now, and I'm sure DCM#1 designed and made the signs for DCM #2. Even though she promised me she was making me a sign, and not to bother ordering one because she would do it for free.

ok to clarify a few questions i read so far...

current dcm #1 is best friends with the dcm#2 starting the new daycare

dcm #2 was enrolled, paid deposit brought dcb here a few times before realizing he needed more doctor appts etc and work wouldn't give her the opportunity to do all that so she couldn't go back to work, and decided to open a daycare.

current dcm #1 gave notice this morning they will be moving to the dcm #2's new daycare (they are best friends i totally understand that).

I don't know if it was intentional or not, but the wording on the website stated she wasn't able to find the quality of childcare she was looking for for her son, thus opening one of her own. To me that felt personal but more than likely it was just appropriate wording for her site rather than disclosing medical issues with her son.


I texted dcm#2 to say why did you copy it. Then I emailed her saying it is copyright infringement, please remove it, wished her well, etc.

dcm #1 tried phoning this morning but i missed her call, she texted saying it's not text appropriate and she will call me later. I hope it is just regarding dcb leaving and such, but hope she's not mad that i called out dcm#2 on the copying.

Update: dcm #2 obviously received my email, and has since changed the wording. whew.

Okay...what I don't get is how is the website copying any of DCM #1's business? She doesn't get to be "mad" about it...and if she does call back wanting to talk about it, I wouldn't discuss a word of it with her.

[dEHmom]

yeah, it doesn't have to do with her per say. what I don't understand though, is that they are best friends and dcm #1 is switching there, why would dcm #2 think it's ok to copy from me and not think dcm #1 wouldn't notice? .

plus I'm still sort of annoyed that dcm #1 made the sign for dcm #2 and didn't even let me know that she wasnt making mine. So this morning I ordered a big sign from Vistaprint. Hopefully it gets here by next week so I can post it and she can see and hopefully silently feel like crap that she never bothered to let me know she wasn't going to make mine.

[dEHmom]

UGH! ok, so for a long time now it seems at least 1 day a week dcb #1 isn't here. They say gma is taking him, but I am highly suspicious that they are weaning/transitioning him into the new daycare. That's fine, although I hope he's just as bratty there as he has been here lately. He just finished hitting me for the 3rd time today because he is mad.

I know this sounds really bad, but I hope he is happy at the new daycare but I am secretly hoping he still dislikes the new provider. He often avoids her when she is around because he doesn't really like her. I have a feeling she is too nice and fake, and he'll pick up on that right away. But she has a whole daycare area so it's not like he's going to get into her stuff like he does here sometimes.

He had a total melt down this morning when dcd dropped him off, which he never does. Normally it's me saying, hey you want to see the puppies, and we walk toward the kitchen, open the gate together and dcd goes out the door. this morning he was not willing to leave daddy. He screamed and put up a good fight. Part of it is he is sick, part of it is he is teething, and the rest is he is quite spoiled.

I understand that it is hard to get wording right for advertising as on a website, but by her stealing yours tells me she doesnt know enough about the business to write her own stuff!!!
