Today I needed to run a couple of errands so my hubby was watching the kids while I was gone. I was walking into the store and ran into one of my dc dads who was coming out. He is a teacher and school got out last friday. He kind of looked at me and said "what are you doing here?" I was upbeat and just said "Oh, I am just picking up a couple of things for the summer program." (which I was). I have told the parents that my hubby fills in for me when I have appointments etc...but I still wish I had not have run into him!

I would have said: well I though I would get some errands done while I had all the kids hanging from the ceiling in my house by their toes!! I have about 30 minutes before they start to come un tied, and are back to the races..
Sorry you ran into a parent, surely he understands!!

Thanks Guys! I knew I could count on you for a few chuckles and understanding! She is still coming full time all summer. I am not really sure why. But as long as I get paid I dont mind.
No he acted fine about it. But, I just felt a little uncomfortable about it so I wanted to vent to my daycare buddies.::

Likewise, I leave the children with dh while they are usually down for naps. Parents have to realize there are just some things that can only be done during regular business hours... Luckily all my parents are fine with dh watching them while I have to run out.~Candice~

My wife makes quick trips to the store, to pick up our kids from a school function, for this or that regularly while I'm home and watching the DC kids. No biggie.
One parent did seem a little concerned that my mother and I were watching DC kids with my wife out running an errand....until I pointed out that my mother was doing daycare long before this woman was a twinkle in her dad's eye.Spouse of a daycare provider....which I guess makes me one too!
