    Providers & Alcohol

    As a parent would you be upset if you found out that your provider went out drinking with friends every friday night after work? That she was having a beer or two after work here and there? Would this be a red flag for you or would you care?

    Uhmmm...I hope you aren't serious?

    Why in the world, if it isn't illegal, would it be any of your business what she does after hours?

      As a parent and a provider, (and as one who has recently taken to meeting up with my neighbors Friday nights), no. Getting out with friends, and drinking a beer or two on a Friday after work should not ever be a concern for parents. IF they show signs of abusing alcohol that is different but a couple of drinks on a weekend is not a parents business. JMO.

        Why would you be upset? She isn't working and she is allowed to have a life outside of taking care of kids. If it doesn't effect her doing her job its none of your business. I say this as a parent who took my kids to daycare and as someone who runs there own daycare now.

          Seriously? No.. As long as she's not drinking on the job, WHO CARES what she does?! In fact, I've posted a link to this before... and we all got a laugh out of it! http://www.cafepress.com/+youd_drink...hirt,261379758

            I used to have a mom who was my last pickup every Friday. She'd bring me a bottle of wine and tell me to enjoy. I am a responsible adult, who cares what I do after hours? I'm not doing anything illegal or immoral.

                I don't drink so I can't answer this. But, why would a dcp want to be in her providers after hours and weekend business? It would be the same thing if a dcp saw a provider at the store buying thongs, would a dcp have the right to tell a provider what kind of undies she could wear??

                What if a dcp saw a provider at the river and provider had on a skimpy swim suit, would the dcp have the right to tell her to wear a cover up??

                So the dcp's BOSS FROM HER WORK saw her at a place having a few beers would the boss have a right to FIRE her or would he see this as a red flag?

                I say STAY out of daycare providers after hours business!!

                  HOW do you know she is out drinking with friends every Friday night after work...Ummm, did you see her in the bar? You mean you were there too and it is okay for you to be there but not for her? Or is it hearsay? Which in my opinion is gossip...so either way you have NO business barking up this tree.....what anyone who lives in a free country does outside of actual business hours is NO ONES business but theirs!!!

                    I am laughing so hard right now its not even funny!! This is a real post? Or a post to see who drinks?

                    Well either way, i dont thinks its anyones business what one does after they are off the clock. However, if they are posting crazy stuff on Face Book of them doing beer bongs with a tub full of jello in the back ground, then that might be a whole different post/story.........

                    just becuase you don't agree with what one does with their life, does not mean that they are a bad person, nor are they wrong.

                    Look at it this way...as long as your child is being loved and cared for by this person, who cares what the provider does in her free time....

                      hmmm....I have a treasure chest under my bed with lots of fun stuff

                      does this affect how I take care of children? NOPE

                      I have a cupboard filled with alcohol, shooters, etc and I drink most weekends...

                      Does this affect how I take care of children? NOPE

                      I like to use the F word alot...

                      Would I use it during daycare hours? NOPE

                      It's maintaining a professional life, and a personal life with a clear line, and not crossing that line.

                      It's none of your business, don't know why you would think it was your business.
