Providers & Alcohol

[AfterSchoolMom]

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.........
....

Even IF they posted pics of them drinking, etc. on facebook...the only way I'd think it would be a problem would be if there were children standing around in the background watching, or if they posted about doing drugs or other illegal activities. There's a difference between someone who drinks on weekends and someone who is an alcoholic and can't do her job during the week.

I think there's a definite line between our professional and personal lives. I'm a grown up and I'll do what I please (within legal boundaries, of course) on my own time.

sometimes, if I'm running out of stuff, I put whatever I want in it. usually those are the meanest ones.
I'll post the recipe elsewhere....

yes you are right...I did leave that out.... no kids in the jello tub while drinking... JK I know what you mean and yes I think your post hit it right on the head...

oh shoot.......

note to self.....


don't make the kids jello cups at same time as the adult jello cups...

Only if:

1. She purposefully lied to me during the interview, before I signed the contract, knowing it was one of my hot button issues. (if it were)

2. She had a history of alcoholism that she informed me of during her interview process.

3. My child was contracted in care during evening and weekends when this was going on.

4. Her background check showed prior DUI arrests. This would signify a person who makes irresponsible/reckless life choices, IMHEO.

Other than that it is really none of my business.

It's Friday!! As soon as my door closes at 5:30pm, I am having a beer! I deserve it, and not one of my parents would think of saying otherwise.

OP, I'm not sure what you do as a job but I'm going to ask these questions.

Do your clients/co-workers/supervisors drink when not working? Do you? Does your spouse drink when not working? Does alcohol consumption on a Friday night still leave a person intoxicated by Monday morning?

A beer or 2 does NOT indicate an alcohol problem. Butt out of your providers PERSONAL life. It doesn't matter if your provider told you this, you saw it on FB, or you heard it through local gossip. It is none of your damn business. And if you are so uptight that you can't deal with it - get a new provider.

OMG is she supposed to sick like a lady and cross her legs and put her hands in her lap. Really she is OK she can enjoy sometimes or your kids wouldn't want to be around her. We all have to have things to look forward to right? Let her be it is her time off of work.

You prob didn't think you would get picked apart like this for posting but REALLY! Unless you smell booze on her when you arrive monday morning Don't think anything of it!!!!

[dEHmom]

who knows, maybe its your kid causing her to need that friday night alcoholic beverages!

i thought it........................but glad you wrote it.............................sorry too funny....

later this weekend if I decide to have a drink I am going to be thinking of you.....umm yeah that sounded kinda bad...........

[dEHmom]

I deleted it before. I had wrote it. Thought better about posting it, but then changed my mind.

IT's simply the truth.

And honestly, IMHO (yay I used it!) the parents who are uptight, and think their children are the perfect little angels, are so dead wrong. All their overbearingness has caused the children to become so rebellious when parents aren't looking that we HAVE TO drink or do something to stay sane.

To the op ~ why are you asking this?


Obviously we are all a bunch of lushes but that is besides the point

In the summer, most Fridays I have 'Happy Hour Under the Deck' and nearly half of my daycare parents participate. So that kinda sums up how I feel about it, .
