DS is still away, he is fighting sleep. He has taken his pictures off his wall, popped the lens out of his glasses, and got out of bed a few times. It is currently 11 pm and he has been in his room since 8. His eyes are so tired but he is insisting that it is up time and does not want to go to sleep.

We have a kid that comes to the center thats a picky eater and a snowflake everything she does mom thinks it's cute & does nothing about. So the last few weeks, this kid has came in with a "nose ring" & lipstick!!! I knew nothing about it until last week and literally saw it for myself Monday & I was like 😳.
And on top of that two of our teachers are now pissed at each other because one teacher tries to help everybody and even tries to take over the other classroom as if it's her classroom too and she's been told not multiple times and to let the main teacher handle handle it. This teacher that I'm referring to jumped all over me yesterday because I had just received a text from another teacher and just had looked at it after she had sent it 5 minutes ago because we don't get great signal in the other building and then Monday a parent brought their kid in late and the kid was upset and didnt want to stay so mom put the kid in a chair next to me because I was still eating breakfast and I let him watch a video on my phone so that she could leave and the teacher said that I shouldn't do that that the kid needs to eat at the other table and that if the administrator saw what was happening she would have something to say. (I'm a teachers aid but I volunteer) and then they put out a notice back last uear about cell phone use and how you shouldn't have your phone out while you were watching kids and I get told I need to have mine on me in the event that someone needs me. Ok, I'm being told one thing then everyone else is being told something totally different and I'm doing what the policy states to do and I get told no that I need to do the opposite. I don't know what to do anymore!!Christy SewellComment

Dcd leaves the door wide open every morning when he comes in. And every morning, I close it behind him. But, hes not getting the hint because he keeps leaving it open. And he isn't just in and out. He checks in his kid, takes off dcb shoes, etc. Like how rude to just leave the door open

I am! Thank you for asking! It's awful but I definitely feel better every day!Originally posted by Alwaysgreener View Post
Sleep is uncomfortable but I hate sleep anyways so it's win win for me...lol!
Hopefully you were finally able to get some sleep.... or rather that your DS finally nodded off so you could as well.
Tough age for sure and one I definitely don't miss!

DCGrandma made a snide comment about “rushing” DCK out the door because I blocked her from entering my house. I have her other grandkid in my daycare. She always makes a big to-do when she picks up. The grandkid staying always gets upset when the other leaves.
I know she means well. But I wish these people would spend one day in our shoes.

DCB4 tattles over everything. Everything! He also has the most annoying, whiniest voice ever.
“Ms. GM, DCB1.75 keeps laughing at me!”
“Ms. GM, DCG3 is sitting in the chair.”
“Ms. GM, DCB3 is playing with a car.”
His sister was the same way when I had her.Last edited by GirlMomma; 10-06-2022, 05:09 AM.Comment

I realize this is just part of the gig, but POOP. Every single one of my dcks pooped within ten minutes of arriving this morning. Every single one of them!Comment

I realize this is the stupidest thing to be annoyed with, but it annoys me!
In our sub division, our bus stops are on the corners of each street. Down the street, each family on each side of the corner (same side of the street) has kids that ride the bus. WHY does each family stand at opposite corners to make the bus stop at each corner?? It’s stopping twice - once on the west side of the corner, scoots a few feet forward, and stops at the east side of the corner. Why can’t one of the parents have their child cross the street to make it one stop?
I know it’s dumb and it’s petty, but it drives me insane watching this every morning!

Something similar happened here a few years back… bus garage said the goal was for all children to be picked up on their side of street regardless of the number of spots and no parent and/or child should cross the street. 🤷♀️ They said eliminating having to cross street in front of bus or prior to bus arriving eliminates accidents -
Alwaysgreener I would think our bus garage does too.
Blackcat31 Maybe they changed it. That would make sense. The street either family has to cross is a dead end. The kids in the cul-de-sac have to walk across the streets to their bus stop. -
Alright, I'm really trying hard to avoid issues that irritate me but I'm going enter a post in this thread...LOL The school buses here have been re-routed as everyone has a bus-driver shortage. This began two years ago...or longer, who knows?
Any way, my daycare is on the highway where two schools end so each school's bus will come up to my house and turn around in the road, yes in the road. Our road is right off of the main hwy (4-lane). I've called 1000000000000,000000000 times because you have to have a physical address to drop off/pickup for school. They are NOT using my driveway....I did get that stopped so the driver backs and pulls, backs and pulls to turn around EVERY cotton-pickin' day. I have FINALLY, after two years convinced them I DO NOT know these kids and they are walking down the hill on my road to their house on the left; they walk up the hill to the bus EVERY MORNING!!!!
I care for one of the school's secretary grandchild and she tells me if a child has an IEP the school is scared to force any issue for fear of being sued.
I replied to the school bus garage this is an accident waiting to happen....it causes a standstill EVERY evening as people are coming in from work.
CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY!!!!
AGain, gonna settle my mind back down now; but why do issues have to become so crazy! Why do parents put their kids in situations like these? Why are school systems allowing parents to dictate their decisions. CRAZY!!!!

DCG3 comes running in saying she has to potty so I send her in there.....go back to check on her and she has pooped up her back, down her legs, all over the potty, so I call for pickup. She's been here a whole 10 minutes. Licensing is coming today......starting out with a bang!

I had a DCB3.5 for a whole week before I termed because every time he got mad and wanted to go home or didn’t like what we were doing (like coming in from playing outside or time to clean up toys) he would pee and poop all over himself. Mom said he had been potty trained for over a year. The first time was during nap so I thought it was a legitimate accident (even though I asked and then told him he needed to go before we laid down and he proceeded to throw a huge fit) and the second time I called for pickup and told DCM to send him in pull-ups from then on. I told her a couple of days later that it wasn’t working and she understood. She knew how challenging he was. He had other behavior issues but that was one I was absolutely not willing to deal with.

Does anyone else have those dcp who try to find out what you're doing on your "day off"?
I'm always very vague, but I hate when they are being nosey. I even have a sub for that day, so daycare isn't even closed. Like, mind your own business I don't ask you what you're doing on your day off!

When I take a day off that is out of the ordinary, I don't go into detail but usually explain why - jury duty, dr appointment that couldn't be scheduled for a Friday when I normally have time off, death in the family... I know I don't have to give a reason, but I want them to trust that I'm inconveniencing them for something important. I have had parents ask if I have any plans for things like vacation weeks. I don't get the feeling they're being nosy - just interested and making conversation. I've been lucky to have some really good dc parents, though, so that makes it easy to share the info with them. I'd feel differently if I had some difficult parents who were clearly just being nosy. I would definitely stick with being vague in that case.

Text dcm that dcg1.5 had 100.2 temp. Waited 15 minutes; no answer....so I call her and she says "Thanks for calling but since you called I have a question..if I bring you a signed form and some tylenol would you just give her tylenol when she feels warm or has a temp?"......After takin g a deep breath I say "No mam, it takes an act of congress to give meds BUT even IF I give meds, a child has to be fever-free without meds for at least 24 hours before returning"....I got an "OK, THANK YOU" with a nonchalant whatever tone...... She text just now and says 'xxxx is fine since we give her tylenol'....to which I text back the same 'she can't return tomorrow, have a nice weekend'.

Yesterday I got a text fr dcm that Dcg was not getting off the bus today but dcb would be. According to my DD, dcb got on didn't see Dcg and got back off.
I called the garage because the bus was early this morning and pulled away because we weren't all the way down the driveway, this has not been a problem before when they are early. They said he has the right to leave.
I then complained that the driver let dcb get back off the bus yesterday. They said it's not his responsibility to know what day the child gets on what day the child is not supposed to get on.
Daycare kid or not once they're on that bus he should not let them off without a valid reason, no kid should get on the bus and get back off without talking to the bus driver first.
This Is there a way to remove all responsibility of children from the drivers. They blamed the school for being responsible for dcb yesterday. Even though the school thought he's on the bus safely and walked away.
Mind you, daycare rules he is considered a child until 14 and I must treat him like a another child but yet the school gets to let them do whatever at 8. The same child that can't stay home alone, per state recommendation, until they're 10 can to choose to not ride the bus at 8. Sounds confusing to me.
Then they continued on to say that anybody over second grade can get off the bus. So I asked why didn't he let my daughter off at the bus stop. She's older and we are not always down there for her but we are when we expect the day care kids. So he is going to be told if it is just her let her off but if the others kids are there keep them all on. (So if he lets the DC kids ride the bus on days that not supposed to he will not let DD off the bus even though we arranged for her to be home alone)
I questioned the fact that they didn't pay attention to when Dcg was on the bus on the day she shouldn't have been. I questioned what would have happened if someone hadn't been here to get her off the bus, they would have taken her back to the bus garage but it's wrong for me to refuse her when she wasn't supposed to be on the bus in the first place. Making it my problem because it shouldn't be his problem and then they blame the school system for putting her on the bus.
And if I refuse her then they will stop driving to daycares. Or at least my daycare. I even said taking her could put me over my ratio.
Again the garage sees it as the school's fault not their fault even though they are part of the school and under the same insurance umbrella. And she's in their custody but if I refuse her on a day that she's not supposed to be here then they threatened to stop busing to daycares.
Yes bus garage, thanks for being a grown up and taking responsibility for kids in your care.
No wonder driver's are in the news because you failed to check the bus for kids that got left on the bus. Your driver that takes attendance and the days that they shouldn't be on should be greyed out.
This is the same bus garage that told me my daughter's first year of school during the second week, the reason why she didn't get off the bus at our house was because she was talking to her new friends. My father was waiting for the bus for me the bus driver a substitute, waved to him and didn't bother to stop.
Oh and my daughter is a selective mute and she wasn't talking to anybody, the older students on the bus so that nobody needed to get off at the next stop and the driver failed to look at her attendant she and see that she was a K student. It was the driver's fault but yet they blamed my daughter.
