Providers & Alcohol

Happy Hour UNDER the deck? Not sure what I am picturing is what was meant :P

LOL ~ no that's not where we end up!

My daycare is in the walkout lower level of my house and the deck comes off my main level so there is room underneath. It's the only shade on a hot summer day...

Now I am longing for a happy hour under the deck....

i think i'd be more upset if i found out she watches FOX news.



sorry i couldn't resist

[dEHmom]

hahahaha.

One of my dcm's is hilarious once we got over the awkwardness of everything. And once facebook friended, we discovered our hubs used to hang out and party together! omg !

We have become very close and now friends (although I wouldn't do this normally). They are leaving really soon, she is prego. They just bought a house close to mine so we will be hanging out when she's on mat leave.

She would be the one parent I truly see this happening with. She's already admitted we will be drinking together after baby is born. .

No thats not where we end up.............now this was a funny vision...

yes a friday thread is needed...this is some funny funny stuff...

although I'm suffering from PINKEYE! GAAAAWWWWWWWSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I am in a great mood today. Must be the homemade butter on soda crackers. HAHAHAHA. I can justify it though because I shook 1 L of cream to make 2 cups of butter. So I'm just putting back on what I took off making it.

Snow day so I don't have to go outside to take/get kiddies from school.

No daycare kids. And i did enough laundry yesterday for a week, so I don't have to do anything but vacuum half hour before hubby gets home.

i still wish we could pull off the daycare provider 'educational' cruise.

[dEHmom]

Closest to that I could afford is my monthly internet bill.

Michael will have to create a page on here for us with a cruise ship, maybe an interactive style like SIMS! . Am I asking too much?

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?

OK...I must be really slow, or it's still the strep clouding my thinking. When I read this I seriously thought it was a provider asking the question to parents. Like she went out and was worried her parents might not like it.

My answer would still be the same though.
A provider is held to a higher standard than other people and SHOULD NOT EVER drink in public! Or smoke, dance, gamble, wear a bikini... She may get totally wasted in private though!



JUST KIDDING!!!!::::::
Unless she does something totally irresponsible like drinking and driving, which would mean she has a problem with alcohol, it shouldn't matter in the least what she does on her own time.

tonight...tgif

who wants to meet up tonight for a beer? LOL! I don't drink beer, but I will for tonight, just for kicks and giggles

You are very right even though you were joking.

Same with teachers. I mean what you do in your personal life is fine. But honestly, would you want a stripper watching your child? Likely not.
Would you want an alcoholic watching your child? Likely not.

But I also know alcoholics who are top notch lawyers. They will have their downfall one day though, sooner or later.

I agree though, as a professional, you need to watch how you behave, dress, etc outside of business. Not saying you cannot wear a bikini, but keep it decent. What if little timmy sees you at the beach, and you're barely covering your nipples and buttox! Get my drift?

If you are drinking in a bar, not likely Tommy will see you, and if his parents do, well they are in the bar too! But behave properly. Don't be a donkey.

Your private life is separate from your business life, but you do have to carry a certain professionalism outside of your business.

To me, this is all the same as the latest gossip about celebrities. You have to remember, that your personal life can and sometimes will carry over into your professional life. So behaving appropriately is always the way to go. Absolutely nothing wrong with drinking, as long as it's responsibly.

Ok, I will be the one who lives under a rock..... WTH is a SIMS website????

[dEHmom]

you don't know who the SIMS are?

It's a game thingy dingy where you create your own person, and you walk around in like a virtual world. But you interact with OTHER people. You can go shopping, dining, etc. It would be fudging awesome if we could go to the bar, or on a cruise together! FOR REAL but Virtually. .

Google SIMS

Don't feel bad because I am going to be the dumb blonde and say yeah, what is a SIMS website? I play and LOVE The Sims 2 and 3 (EA computer games), but can't figure out how they would relate to this?!!?!? I must be over-(or under)thinking things today........must be the hangover from last night!

I just got around to reading this thread.

You ladies crack me up!::
