Silliest Thing That a DCF Has Said to You?

[Alwaysgreener]

My best comments came from the same dcm. When I charged her for being late, she said "This can not happen again". A couple of months later when I termed her, she said "I am very disappointed in you".

I recently got --- "Here is your paycheck" and We can't talk tomorrow at pick up because dcg has an appointment. - I walked away thinking that's fine with me. Now I meet him at the and hand dcg out, unfortunately, he stands in the way and talks so I can not shut the screen door.

The silliest things I've had DC parents say;

Response to text that child had puked/spiked a fever or had diarrhea: "Do I need to pick up?" (No, Im just telling you because I have nothing better to do)

Response to notice/memo addressed to 'All families'; "Does this mean me too?" (Sorry but you're not "special")

Response to ANY mention of negative behavior during the day "They don't do that at home" (What does that have to do with their behavior HERE?)

Best response ever.... when asking for something outside of regular services and quoted a fee "Oh, you charge for that?" (Yeah, cuz I love working extra for free!)

I once had a DCK break out in a rash on the face out of nowhere. I called for pick up. DCD literally said “It’s because DCK is teething.” I said, “Okay, bring me a doctors note tomorrow stating it’s from teething and I’ll consider letting DCK return.” Turned out to be an allergic reaction to dairy that an older sibling had snuck and given to the DCK at home.

I had another DCM ask me if I needed a doctors note after DCK appointment. I asked why? She explained “DCK is getting a flu shot so just incase DCK spikes a fever.” I told replied, “DCM if DCK gets a fever, I’m sending DCK home.”

I could go on for days with this one

I think yesterday was the one that threw me for a loop and I almost laughed. I called for pick up because 2 dcb threw up. DCM comes and asks ‘are you sure he puked? He looks fine’. I had changed clothes because I was puked on and had to use a washcloth to remove vomit from his hair…. I just stared at her and said ‘yes’. But omg. What’s worse is I dont think she realized at all how dumb That question was 😂
