Just Curious...
 

How many on here are parents as opposed to providers?

im both....lol sorry I know that's not what you were looking for.....

I have been a provider for 11 yrs and a parent for 8.

I am both. Started as a working mom with my son in a center, then became a stay-at-home mom then started my home daycare.

i am both also

Hmmmm...No parents at all?

You know what I mean, guys! Parents as in NOT providers!

I think I know what she's getting at:
yea I really think parents should have their own forum like we do, I have never seen posts from parents in the provider forum. (but I'm fairly new)
I read the parents forum because I want to know what parents think about the issues, but I never post except one time when I was posting just as a parent.

I know we all theorize on WHY parent do or more often, fail to do, certain things with their kids. I was hoping there were some parents here who might enlighten me...

Although after seeing some of the parents facebook pages talking about making marijuana legal Im not surprised by what is out there. And not legal for medical purposes :rolleyes:

:lol::lol: Nah, "Mary-Jane Me Time" makes them better mothers, didn't you know....:ouch:

Agh, I think I'll check it out on a day when I'm not totally irritated people in general. I don't understand why people are failing to teach their children basic manners, why they come in in the morning asking ME to discipline a child that behaved poorly on their time. I just don't get it...
