I've been running my home daycare for 5 years... Tomorrow is my license renewal inspection...
I'm so burnt out and stressed! I want to tell my licensor to just take my license because I'm done!!
I can have up to 8 kids, I don't want to do infants anymore because EVERY parent wants me to baby wear or hold 24/7 plus be in the babies face entertaining them so they don't cry, or hold them while they sleep...
Last interview I told mom I couldn't do these things, as its against state regs here, and she got all mad telling me that she wasn't going to bring her baby here because she wasn't going to allow me to neglect her baby! D:
My husband lost his job, and just started a new one last week...
I am full right now, but in August two kids (brothers 2yrs old and almost 5yrs old) do to a move... I sent DCB2 yrs old home with a 102.2 fever and had to argue with mom about coming to pick him up. She told me that she had to go to the court house (mom and dad are separating) and she'd be by to get both kids after she was done filing. I told her no, she needed to coming now, which she did but she wasn't happy about it. This is the mom that was SO upset and sad that she was leaving the boys' dad and had to go back to work when she had been a stay at home mom for the last 4 years.... they enrolled 6 months ago, but aparantly she got fired after 3 months, but didn't tell me and has been bringing her two kids from 8:30 - 5:30pm (my closing time) and then wants to talk for 30 minutes about how hard her part time job was, being a mom, and filing for devorse! And that she couldn't understand how she was expected to juggle all these things and pay her bills.
one family (new, been with me for 2 months do to their last provider closing do to cancer) says their kid (3yrs old DCB) is potty trained but he cries to the point of gagging whenever I ask if he needs to go potty.... I can sometimes get him to sit on the potty but he won't go, will pee as soon as I take him off... Has yet used the potty here. All over my floor. Parents are telling me to bride him with ice cream, hold him tight and sooth him while he sits on the potty... FaceTime with mom so she can talk to him... I brought up that he just might not be ready (I beleive they are using a little seat at home still, which is what they were doing until thurday, and are wanting me to force him to use the big potty so they don't have to. They deny it, telling me that he has been going on the big potty at home and at the movie theater since Friday, but the kid keeps asking for his little Mickey Potty.) I'm pretty sure the whole push to potty train is because they want DCB to go to pre-school in the fall... This kid always cries at drop off, mom and dad cater to it something terrible. DCB was with last provider since he was weeks old. They keep going "oh he never did this before... He never had a problem being dropped off at ----- home..." But then tell me that he likes coming.
Everyone has snotty noses, my own son had a fever all Saturday and is completely snotty and horse (he's 4 and delayed by 2 years), my duaghter is now snotty and I'm sure one DCG (2.5 yrs) is a dope and drop.... I'll know once she wakes up from nap, that be about 6 hours after drop off...
I'm so SO tired!! Sorry ad thank you for the rant... If it doesn't make any sense I'm sorry...
