No, DCM, I do NOT care who pays but they will pay on Monday Morning and I offer 4 forms of payment; NO, I cannot do a credit card over the phone; NO, NO, NO! Make these in-laws pay YOU after you pay me, and quit making your issues my issues.

I just vented something about this last week.
My husband's sister and her 2 kids are visiting from out of state. My MIL thinks they can come over whenever.
SIL and nieces stopped by last week. My SIL had the nerve to ask me what day works for one of my nieces to come help me at daycare
I ignored it and never got back to them. Fast forward to Saturday, and they ask me again. I said I don't know if I have a slow day or not that'll work. Then, my MIL pipes in and says, "well, we're going out of town on Monday and Tuesday. So, it will have to be Wednesday or Thursday." Like, what??! This is my JOB and you can't tell me what my schedule is. They think my niece is "help" when it's really just another kid to take care of at daycare.
I'm upset that they put me in this position. I wish they would understand that this is a REAL job. They would never do this if I worked outside the home.
I should've spoke up right away and said no, but I didn't and now I'm trying to figure out how to get out of this.Comment

How old is your niece? I’d blame licensing and say you just found out you can’t have “extra” non-enrolled kids or visitors that aren’t background checked during your operational or business hours. -
She's 8.
I've been ignoring their request hoping they'll get the hint. But, nope. SIL just sent a message asking if there's a day that the GIRLS (as in BOTH of my nieces) can come over. The other one is 11.
This is the 3rd time they've asked. They obviously do not get the hint.

I'd have DH tell them to knock it off. It is his issue to deal with as it is his family. If he does not want to, I'd make his life miserable until he feared me more than his mother.Comment

Send paperwork home Thursday, due Monday.
Paperwork did not get turned in today. (was not in folder or anywhere in backpack unless they kid it from me)
Sent message "paperwork was due today, please hand to Miss ___ at drop off"
Reply message "in backpack"
This parent thinks she's in charge. I was going to keep them until the end of the year (for financial reasons) but I just don't think I can do it anymore

I find it amazing what parents think of our intelligence. Had a parent late once and I was on the phone with the other parent and they kept saying "she is in the driveway" ....no she's not, " yes she is"...no, she's not...."yes she told me she was".....well that didn't happen again as they got a whopping late chargeOriginally posted by ItsAllSonShineAndRainbows View PostSend paperwork home Thursday, due Monday.

The paperwork sent home was a re-fresh of our sickness policy (made specifically for this family, but was sent home with everyone)Originally posted by ItsAllSonShineAndRainbows View PostSend paperwork home Thursday, due Monday.

I ended up copy/pasting my previous message stating to hand it personally this morning. They did not respond. They did however hand it to my co-teacher this morning. After wiping off their 4yr old's booger covered face then shoving a hand full of extra tissues in her coat pocket...
I was going to tell parents she was not allowed tomorrow due to her having a runny nose/sneezing all day, but she isn't supposed to be coming tomorrow because of a doctors appointment. The appointment is at 8. Class starts at 8:30. My contract clearly states that there is no drop off times other than 8:30. I'm trying to decide if I should message mom tonight and remind her... again.... like I have to do with everything...
We normally put up a sign after drop off that says "class is in session, please do not knock or ring bell" but we are currently staying in a friends basement until we can move into our new house next month. If they come, we will not even be upstairs. However I don't want someone to come and bother the people we are staying with...
So the question lies... Send a reminder.... or send a termination letter... decisions decisions...Comment

So you never got the paperwork returned and they sent the child with a runny nose? Don’t answer the door tomorrow, instruct the people you’re staying with not to either.
If paperwork isn’t returned tomorrow, I’d term because it’s obvious they don’t want to follow the illness policies. If DCG has a runny nose, send her home. -
They did hand it to her, after wiping the kids nose. They did not come yesterday or today. Mom messaged me Tuesday night and said "K said she was in time out, what for?" I wrote 12 different responses and deleted them. I ended up just saying "we are working on doing what is asked right away and worrying about herself" Mom wrote back and said "She said it was for staring" (ok one, if she told you why did you ask?) I said "yes ma'am, we're working on worrying about ourselves" She then wrote back and said "Ok, she's not coming tomorrow" (aww, for shame) She also didn't come today (another dr appointment) No school tomorrow. I don't have the mental energy to think about them this weekend :P They're done, there's no question about that... it's just whether I want to do it at the end of this month or wait until the end of the year. Only real reason is that we're moving into our new home at the end of the month and the finances would help!

I had a new 14 month old start with me this week, he’s a cousin to a couple of my DCK’s.
He’s the sweetest little baby… but boy am I ready for him to get adjusted. 😅

A friend on Facebook posted about how her baby has a 102 fever from teethingSomeone wrote a comment and said "she's so pretty, even when she's sick." The mom responded "she's NOT sick. She's teething. But yes, she's beautiful."
Why can't parents just admit when their child is sick?? I would never do this, but I was so tempted to copy and paste the article from the Seattle Children's Hospital about how teething does NOT cause a fever. Some people...

An oldie but a goodie: Just as child who usually stays later goes home early for the day, children who go home early haven't been picked up yet. 🙄🙄🙄Comment

DCG nearly 3 shows up today in big girl panties after leaving here in a diaper Friday. DCD said to me “we are tired of buying diapers” so it’s not even because they think she’s ready. 🙄
I was very clear I don’t potty train children. DCG is in a diaper. If she tells me she has to go, we’ll go.Last edited by GirlMomma; 11-15-2021, 05:56 AM.Comment

e.j. I know! It really ticks me off how inconsiderate parents are.
I put her in a diaper as soon as she arrived. She never told me she had to go all day. At pick up, I told DCD to continue working on potty training at home but until she can tell me that she has to go, she’ll be in a diaper here. He wasn’t happy but for sanitary purposes, I’m not taking that risk.

I have not had a kid awake more than 10 minutes after naptime began in so long I can't remember. Until today. Aggghhhhh
I put up the playroom Christmas tree and am trying to get the one sweet photo of everyone sleeping under it. Who is the hold out, you ask? The 7 week old. Seriously????
I wish I had an infant grinch costume to put on him right now.... that would be hilarious. But no, I just have to sit here, waiting.... and waiting in the freaking cold, dark room. He is happy as all get out making me wait, too. Grinning ear to ear and cooing all cute about it. Go to sleep little dude.

Illnesses are so bad this year.
I had to send out a letter about strep last week, this week it's croup. Almost every kid has a cough and/or a runny nose. Had a parent tell me that the colder weather is causing everyone to get sick....um, no. Viruses cause illness, not weather.
It's this time of year that just makes me want to close my doors until spring.Comment

"How's your morning going?"
Better than yours! Baby had a blowout bm that went right up his back just minutes before my 3 year old was due to be picked up by the woman who gives him a ride to his preschool classes every day. Just as I got the baby cleaned up, the 3 year old announced he had just pooped in his Pull-Ups. Thank God I hadn't changed him into his underwear yet!! I managed to get him cleaned up, too, and ready to leave just as his ride pulled into the driveway. At least I didn't have to change my clothes! lol I hope your day has improved since this morning! -
Thanks, guys!
EJ, that sounds much more stressful than my morning, lol!! I am glad you managed to pull it off like a pro. -
Baby won't nap, baby won't eat, baby won't let me put her down. Finally baby eats and baby sleeps. 10 minutes later, the baby is awake, and repeat... baby sleep twenty minutes the second time. The baby goes home.Last edited by Alwaysgreener; 11-17-2021, 03:06 PM.

Get this, dcg4 tells teacher look at my pants this morning teacher thinks nothing of it. After nap, dcg goes to potty after nap & teacher is changing another child in the same bathroom looks over and dcg is wearing a PANTYLINER in her underwear & tells teacher she's big. I still can't wrap my head around it.Christy SewellComment
