1. I won't let 22 mos eat the tinker toy.
2. I *still* won't let the 22 mos eat the tinker toy.
3. I won't let 22 mos lick the vacuum cleaner.
4. I won't let 33 mos take all the toys out of the storage room.
5. I didn't buy 5's attempt to get 33 mos in trouble and 5 got in trouble instead.

Why are YOU mean today? (aka what did you do that has made someone cry so far this morning?)

2. I separated a 3 yr old for taking toys from friends
3. I won't waive late fees for a DCM who was 13 minutes late picking up yesterday

I'm mean because I took toys away from a child at quiet time. The rule is we play quietly or the toys get put away. I remind them every day before nap and I do not issue warnings after the fact.

1. I won't let 3yo go upstairs and visit the puppies because he doesn't listen or follow the directions (sit down and hold a puppy, don't pick them up or walk around with them.)
2. I still won't let 3yo go visit the puppies even though I "overheard" dcm tell 3yo to ask me nicely and I'll let him go up.
3. 2yo is getting a nap even though dcm asked her if she wanted one and she said she didn't.

I made my sweet dcg, 15 month, hand the binky back to her sweet but not-so-tough mom this morning. She's been going back to her room before they leave, and grabbing it out of her bed. Cute, but it's enough. So, I very gently took it from her, and say "we are giving this back to mommy, your other one is in your bed for nap time".

Her body language made me think that I'd hurt her feelings...mom's, that is.

I'm mean today because....
1. I had to speak firmly to dcg when for the 5th time in a row, I reminded her that dcb is deaf. No matter how many times you call him, he isn't going to answer. Walk over to him and tap him on the shoulder. Then he will go play with you. This is a conversation we have several times, each day that she is here.
2. I had to grab dcb's arm to stop him from going in the street without me during our walk this morning. He gave me the dirtiest look I think he could manage until I pointed to the car going by. (Normally everyone is awesome about staying on the sidewalk in front of me, but we all had to go into the street to go around a truck that was hanging over the sidewalk in our way.)
3. I would not allow younger dd to bring home every leaf, rock and dandelion bloom her little hands could carry. Sorry, we already have enough in our own yard.
4. I took older dd's tablet away for the day. No playing on the computer until schoolwork and chores are done does not mean you can play on the tablet instead!

It's not even lunchtime yet, sigh.

3. I won't let 2.5 year old hit me with his blankie
4. I won't let 10.5 month old have 3 month olds bottle
5. I won't pick 10.5 month old up when I'm feeding 3 month old.

1. Told a potential dcm (I'm her back up when normal daycare closes for the last year in a half, but now it's closing it's doors at the end of the school year) that I would not allow late pick ups unless absolutely necessary ('me' time after work is not necessary) and that her 3 1/2 yr old must be potty trained before she comes in august, she's ready...dcm isn't.
2. Told dcb5 to quit jumping off toddler jungle gym while outside this morning and didn't coddle him when he fell on his knee.
3. Lunch time is quiet time (I'm always mean for this one!!!)

3. Wouldn't let the 13month old tear apart a book

I must say "I know, I know, Im the meanest lady in the world", at least 10 times per day. When I get sick of that I start using "i know you are new here, and don't know the rules".

I'm only mean so far just to the 12m old. It's only 10am here though, so plenty more time to be mean to everyone else

1) I won't give him a different breakfast than everyone else.
2) I laid him down for AM nap (we are still on 2 naps a day)
3) I won't let him dig in the cupboards.
4) I won't let him grab his wet diaper during diaper changes.
5) I won't let him eat playdough.
6) I put up some of the manipulative toys that he was throwing at the 11m old.

today I wouldn't let 22 mos take a toy from the dog.
And I wouldn't let 22 mos have more cereal after he'd had plenty
and I took 22 mos bowl before he could dump the milk on the table
and I asked 22 mos to get out of his chair

And it's only 11:10....

I just drug the play kitchen to the basement. After telling the 3.5 yo two times that he cannot lift the 18 mon old into the sink. They are both currently flailing around on the floor and the 15 mon old is laughing and clapping (I have music on that he is bee bopping too-just good timing)

Rest of yesterday's
I did not allow 8 year old to draw a circle around all of the patio and tell the other kids that they couldnt draw with chalk in her bubble.

I didnt allow 8 year old to throw chalk at other children I made her pick it up and hand it to them them nicely.

I would not allow 8 year old to hide in my curtains when she was mad.

Today

I told 2.5 to use nice hands

I gave 2.5 paper for the markers she just got out.

I told my neighbor's adult son that if he got a job and moved out he would not hear us on the playground while he was playing video games in his parent's sunroom.

Before anyone jumps to conclusions this was his Mother's suggested response.

His face was priceless... No mother on earth is going to cut him any slack from now on, we had a meeting.

5 yo isn't allowed to decide to let the babies go upstairs.
22 mos is STILL not allowed to put things in his mouth
22 mos is STILL not allowed to chew up his shirt
33 mos isn't allowed to climb under my shirt and put his cold hands on my warm skin
I don't pick up 12 mos every time I walk past her.

23 month old wasn't allowed to touch the babies

25 month old wasn't allowed in the ever saucer.
Same 25 month old had to eat her fruit and veggies before getting more pizza


I had the nerve to ask the preschoolers to clean up their mess before lunch

3.5 year old wasn't allowed to hurt her friends, was separated and clearly upset that I had the nerve to call her on it.

I love being mean:
That's an extra $28 for me, since you chose to pick up husband from work, instead of picking up your children on time.

What you don't want your 16m old playing in the dirt, well show up on time and maybe I will redirect her to a different section of the yard to play.

Oh my, her bottom has mud on it and her hands are dirty. Yes, please do run her in the house to wash her hands (I'm pretty sure the dirt is deadly). Oh, but we have a no shoe policy, I'm sorry you are wearing lace up boots.

Have a nice weekend, see you on Monday. Don't forget to add the extra $28..
