| CenterTeacher20 | This week has gone by so fast... how is it already Thursday? Not ~really~ complaining about it almost being the weekend, but I feel like I have accomplished like NOTHING this week. | ||

I was in Target a couple weeks ago and a toddler was having a tantrum in the cart. I simply couldn’t listen to it any longer and went to the other side of the store. It was like “Nope, I listen to this crap all week long. Not going to do it on weekends too.” I’m taking a week off for the first time in five years this spring. Not going anywhere. Just will have my house to myself for a week. Can’t wait. |

I am noticing a trend, here. 3 years going. My *boy moms turn in paperwork & requested supplies, read notices and notify me of changes promptly and without need of reminders. My *girl moms have to be reminded, hounded and occasionally threatened to do so. Even the moms who have one of each.  Boy is always covered, girl is left to wait or make due.What is the deal?

Sometimes I start questioning my decision to term you but then you remind me by keeping me hostage in my living room during nap time. Thank you very much for the reminder, only one day left before I can get my quite naptimes back. Good luck with your new provider. |

My handbook is my policy. My contract stipulates that failure to follow my policy can result in immediate termination. This is one of those occasions where it definitely would. Obviously she needs someone open no matter what. I’d tell her you’re obviously not able to provide her the service she wants. Wish her luck in her search. She’s gonna need it trying to find someone with no life. |

I get a call from dc over a week ago from a dad, they need care Tuesday, Thursday, and Fridays and I am only open M-TH. I let them know how to find care and tell them to call me if they have any questions. I get a call during lunch last Thursday from the mom and they found to care for Fridays and want to set up a tour. I have something scheduled Mon-Wed after work this week so I offered them the last Saturday tour, which I do not normally offer. Saturday won't work for them, They would like Sunday/today. I don't want to on Sunday, it is my family day, so I offer this Thurs. That might work for them but they would prefer Friday morning. I have plans for Friday Morning, so I told them that I was not available then. I do not hear anything and start wondering if they think we are a go for this Thursday. They want to start next week (March 3rd). I have done a quick tour and signing before (covid) and had it work out but those families worked with the times that I had available for a tour. Well, I just got an email back: "Thanks, but we will just find someone else that can accommodate us either virtually or in-person asap this week."

Backbone is easier when you tell yourself the truth. When you are flexible with a family you are choosing to meet their needs over your own family's to be liked. It is more selfish than simply enforcing your policies to meet your family's needs. Martyrdom. How many times can you choose someone else over your family before your family see's no need in continuing a relationship with you? Nurture those you love first. They chose to be there, they don't have to be. |

With her response, she's just given you a glimpse as to what she's going to be like to deal with as a parent. Maybe it's my mood lately but I'd be very tempted to suggest that she continue her child care search elsewhere because "not all day care providers are willing to put up with her attitude 'Just food for thought.'" (I wouldn't really do it but I'd be tempted!!)

Messaged a potential DCM this morning at 8am attempting to confirm that she was still coming for her tour today, like I always do. She read the message and it showed that she read it, but no response- messaged her again at 3pm saying to let me know by 4pm whether or not she still plans on coming at 5:30 or if she would like to reschedule, so that I can let my staff know if they need to stay for the tour or not-- and just got a message from her stating that she is apprehensive about bringing her kids here because she is an ADULT and doesn't need to be reminded of a tour and that messaging her twice was "extremely unnecessary" and ended the message with "Maybe you've had bad experiences with parents in the past, but we aren't all irresponsible. Just food for thought." Like sure, be annoyed that I'm checking in but if a tour we're scheduling for AFTER HOURS due to covid hasn't confirmed that they're coming, is it really that crazy that I messaged to confirm??? I'm second guessing myself but like, I dont think I'm in the wrong??

We have received a lot of snow in the past month. My handbook clearly states that when a state of emergency of any kind is declared, I will not open for the safety of all families and my own. One family is determined to bring their children regardless. Mom yelled and cursed at me and told me my handbook didn't mean anything and that I should be open. Im convinced that some parents feel that unless my home burns to the ground, I should provide them with care. Its incredibly frustrating and upsetting. |

Child is 2 years old as of a month ago. Child came to me in July 2020 from another provider. Mom has been trying to potty train since before she came to me. Every time the child hears the word potty, she screams. I've tried to tell mom that she may not be ready and that this is causing stress to the child and the other children (child tends to begin screaming and doesn't stop) I feel like mom is blaming me for not having the child trained. |

i just have to laugh at some of the excuses some parents give for why they bring their kids to daycare when they aren't working. i had a parent ask where everyone was at (it was obvious she's not working today), and i told her it was a holiday so most of the kids get to spend time with their parents today. she told me she's not working either, but needs to clean the animal cage. she then told dck that she might pick them up "slightly early" since she's not working today. i don't judge, but i'll never understand. |

Was supposed to close early one day this week, things changed and now I don't have to. I thought the dcps would be relieved because I'm not closing early. Let everyone know and had a parent complain because they switched their schedule around for my early closure. There's just no winning. |

Argh -9F this a.m., by the time I got home from grocery shopping it was -12F. Wasn't -9 cold enough, like we needed the extra nudge towards the Arctic? Annndddd tomorrow they're predicting 6-12" of snow through Wednesday. I'd rather shovel than be a popsicle. I just want to be in my garden.

Last spring I lost my clients and online school consested of a few assignments posted per week with some mabey having a pretaped lesson. This year it's so much more. Both of my kids need in person school. The oldest get anxiety when speaking especially when talking about things he is not 100% on. He gets extremely hard on himself for not doing things right the first time or answering wrong. He has been like this since his was little. So in person school was the best for him. Having him home only sets back his progress for the year. Let me tell you having him read a simple book report outloud for me to tape this week almost killed me. If the kid sounds rehearsed its cause I made him read rhrew his own work like a half a dozen times. I knew I only get 1 shot ag tapering him before he shut down. But he did it. The youngest needs in person school cause he is behind. The thing is he behind for his grade level but not realy for his age though he not at the beging of the group either for his age more on the tail end. The problem is he has a birthday 2 days before cut off date for school and there is no red shirting. This kid would have done so much better by being born two days (less then 38 hours) later. One of my parents is so great she is a teacher and has her own kid she is helping threw Kindergarten as well. She so great that the kids are missing out a bit on things. But her kid is also just 1 and realy only just sits outside and cant move in snowsuit. Actually 2 of my e can barely move in their snow suit though one dose walk. The other moves a bit more but hates the cold and hangs by the door till we go back in most days or just sits in a little tikes car. |

| VictoryCare | I know how you feel Jupadia, I am dealing with the exact same thing, it's constantly back and forth between the kids doing school and the rest of the kids who aren't, and like you said, can not do anything until school is done, it stinks, sorry you are dealing with it too, it makes for a very tiring day | ||

Longest January of my life. We have been in lockdown since like mid November with more and more restrictions and areas being added each week. Then they announced that schools where shutting down down and going virtual. While thankfully none of my family's have pulled cause their diffrent family's now and are still working. None of my old family's came back after first lockdown. It's been so hard trying to balance having one kid in our family movie room for am classes (located next to daycare room, he is doing grade 2 and is online most of the day with his class. For the most part he ok by himself but needs refocusing at times. Also hates speaking in front of others so it's a fight to get him to leave Camara on and speak up to ask his own questions. He also tends to drift off and miss the assignment at times (mostly for language). The other kid is in Sr. Kindergarten and on for 2 to max 3 hours. Him I have to sit near and keep focused. His morning class takes place in the daycare room. Thankfully his afternoon one happens during nap and I use the babymoniter for the daycare kids and we sit upstairs. The other one then works from the dinning table. Thankfully I do have my laptop the oldest uses and the school got us a chromebook for the other one this week. Before that he was working on a crappy tablet with a wifi speaker because the volume sucks on the tablet. First it was going to be two weeks late back. Now its February 10th. I feel so stretched thin each day. Trying to keep on top of both kids while doing daycare. Our outside time only happens now after 330pm. It just cant be done before that. Crafts other then some basic colouring have disappeared cause I just dont have the time. I need my kids back in school. |

I've got a dcd who works shifts. He has never kept dcg home with him on his days off. There are months where he's on the night shift so he rarely sees her, and will still bring her every single day he's off. It breaks my heart when dcg gets sad and doesn't want him to leave. I'm sure she knows when he's not working. He always has the lamest excuses, too. "You have to stay here because we're getting our tv hooked up." "I have errands to run." "I need to take the car to the shop." And then dcm usually ends up picking dck up after work, like dcd can't even pick her up early. I love spending days with my kids so I don't get why some parents are so eager to get rid of them. These days go fast and they will regret it. |

OMG! Will we ever get back to normal???!!! The DCKs are an absolute nightmare today! Local school has been remote since a week before Xmas. I have 4 SA plus 2 of my own teens at home doing remote learning. I’ve been up since 4am because I had to go out and do snow removal before my first client arrived. Of course they were an hour late 😡. I’ve got each SA kid in separate rooms so they can focus without screaming toddlers or interrupting each other with their meets. This means I’ve lost additional napping areas so the 3 year old that fidgets through nap time keeps all the other kids up. If I’m not hovering over him, he sneaks around and takes out noisy toys. I have one Kindergartner that has her schoolwork on paper. She knows everything there is to know about everything except how to do her schoolwork. Actually it’s just a game she plays to get out of doing schoolwork. I let her use her tablet or watch a movie during nap but she can’t do that without yelling and waking everyone up. If I try to quietly help her with school work, she has a meltdown because she doesn’t want to do it. When the SA kids aren’t learning they’re roughhousing and encouraging the younger kids to misbehave. ATM were trying to get through nap. All I can do is sit in the dark starving and having to use the bathroom. The second I try to take a quick break, DCB will be up poking at other sleeping kids. Will the kids ever go back to school???!!! Calgon, take me away!!!!! |

I know people have different opinions on the whole Covid thing, but I can't help but be annoyed when a dcp downplays the seriousness of it. I find myself explaining that as a business owner, I take it serious because I would have to close for a period of time. I just had a dcm say that "oh, looks like the flu disappeared" and "most people don't even get that sick", "it's stupid", etc. I told her I've been lucky that it hasn't affected daycare yet and that I keep on expecting to have to close at some point. It's like people don't get how the virus can affect daycare, which in turn will affect THEM. |

When I say your child needs to be here PRIOR to snack time in order to have snack, that means they need to be here BEFORE snack time. Not right at snack time when the plates are fixed and kids are sitting down eating, but BEFORE. Then I'M the one that gets the dirty look when I have to tell dcp that they've missed snack. Grr. I'm in a mood today :/ |

I've got a dcm of the first kid i started watching and she likes to take credit for my daycare. Dcm: "I can't believe that you've been caring for dck for X amount of years. I mean, he's kinda the reason you started this." Yeah, not because of money or paying bills, but because of YOU and YOUR kid *insert eye-roll* |

During recess, ds2.5 got mad at dd8 for using the wagon. Ds sat down in the snow behind a car bed and cried. DCB3.5 was pushing a tractor and nowhere near DS. I decided to shovel the porch off. All of a sudden, I look up, DS and DCB are wrestling and not in fun. I rush over, separate them, and try to get out of DCB what happens. DCB only stands there crying for his mom, like always. I have no idea what happened but I do know that dcb went over to ds who was crying. DCM arrived and DCB announces proudly that he wrestled and I explain what I know. Later DD blurts out, I know what happened. She goes on to say DCB rammed DS with the tractor. I asked a few questions and she says she did not see it but feels that it is the only thing that makes sense since DCB went over to DS. She has also noted to me that she finds dcb to be an instigator or tends to poke the bear until something happens. Truthfully, I believe her theory, DCB has done similar things before, so I would not put it past him at all. There is a term in his future, just needs to get rid of the nagging feeling that it is not quite the right time. |

Yep as a follow up to my own vent. Left the room for 5 min not even ti check sleeping daycare kids. My board 5 year old is playing with his penius right in front of the tablet. I have email an apology to teacher and am hoping it was turned enough that it was not actually caught on camera. I gusse he got board of the book beging read and forgot he was not alone. |

Can I just stop and say I hate online school. Our province offered either online or in person. We chosse in person. It has been nerve racking a bit with the thought of extra exposure at school, in regards to having to shut down daycare. This week though all students have had to switch for this week (so far) to virtual. Now I feel like I'm spun out between surpivising DKs kids and then online learning for my two guys grade 2 and sr. Kindergarten. They ate both skipping gym today as they have it back to back both during nap. Please let them go back. |

It's hard for sure but good for you for listening to your instincts!! You won't ever regret doing that. I have a parent right now that for some reason makes me have anxiety as well. I don't know why as they aren't breaking any rules or being rude etc but there is just something about them that makes me feel dread when they pull in the driveway every day. I usually look forward to a bit of chit chat with parents upon drop off and pick up but this parent has me wanting to appear too busy to chat every day.

Just had to term my first parent ever. The baby was no problem whatsoever - so it sucks in that regard - but the parent was weird and I could tell things were going to just continue going downhill ... at least for me; she gave me the impression she lives in her own little world. I was just so uncomfortable and it was messing with my anxiety. These are not the type of interactions any provider wants or looks forward to. I feel so much better now. It's a weight off my shoulders. Will be updating quite a few things in my parent handbook though. |

I agree. I’m much more into mask wearing now that I had a direct exposure to COVID two weeks ago. I’ve always been good about wearing it in public places but not so good about wearing it at work. It’s hard at times but I want to be safe and to keep others safe. My vent for the day. Parents please send your kids to school with a warm coat. This is winter and unless the weather is frigid/raining/snowing/icy we are going to play outside for a short time anyway. The kids need fresh air even if it is a little chilly. A little hoodie just doesn’t cut it when it’s 36 degrees outside. |

| springv | THIS is the reason so many are either sick or dying!! I've had 8 family members with covid, a classmate who came home last week from spending 91 days in various hospitals because of covid and now I've got yet another family member with covid!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE wear your masks, social distance and wash your hands! Our governor has also extended our mask mandate until January 22nd | ||

Argh! Dcd picked up dcg yesterday, wearing a mask. Which is unusual. One of the other dck asked why he was wearing one. He said because he was around someone positive and is waiting for his test results This is the first I've heard about it! Why was your child here all week and why are you in my house??? I can't believe people sometimes. I just want to close until all this is over because people are selfish and untrustworthy and don't think about how their actions affect others. |

Headed out my driveway in my 4wd explorer and the red lights with ABS system warnings and the brakes locked up. Coasted back down the drive and parked it. Wonder what this will cost me?

Today. Friday. Just when I get everyone down to sleep and begin to wrap up the week. That is when Daily Connect decides to get all glitchy. I can't get to anyone's individual accounts to update info or update events. I just want to be done for the week.
