WDYT about my daycare lady?

She's definitely old school, but she is super nice.  When I pack up DD to get ready to take her home, the lady holds DD for me.  When it's time to put DD in the carseat, she tells DD she'll miss her (DD is there only 2 or 3 days a week) and kisses her forehead. 

Now it's sorta sweet, but sorta yucky all at the same time.  Would you say something or just brush it off?

    If it really bothers you, I would say something.  Our DCP (in a center) asked if we minded if she kissed DS on the forehead once in awhile.  It doesn't bother me at all, but I'm glad she asked.

    I think that's kind of sweet and personally wouldn't mind. But if it bothers you, you can say something.

    It wouldn't bother me. For one, her germs are already all over your DD because of how much time she spends with her. Two, she is probably a bit attached to her and it shows how much she cares about her. IMO, better than her not caring enough about her.

    Haha, at risk of sounding like a total creeper, I used to nanny for twin baby girls.  I took care of them for like 6 hours a day every day, and I would totally kiss them on their little foreheads.  It never seemed weird to me, they were very affectionate babies and loved to be cuddled and hugged and kissed.

    Forehead kisses don't bother me at all. Lip kisses would gross me out. There's a co-worker of mine that's known for kissing other people's babies/kids on the lips so I watch her like a hawk!

    I think the affection is nice and I'd be happy with that amount of healthy affection if our DCP did that.  But if it really bothers you, I'd talk to her about it.

    IMHO- you should be thankful your dcp cares enough to say and do those things. If the kiss bothers you speak up, otherwise know your lo is loved and well taken care of where ever she is. :-)

    This.  They get sort of attached to our LOs when watching them, I think it is only normal to want to show some affection, so long as it is okay with the parents.

    It didn't really bother me until I talked w/ a friend.  She's the type of friend that makes you 2nd guess everything b/c she's raising her baby in a sterilized bubble.

    I won't say anything.  I just wanted another (sane) opinion.

    Our lady kisses all over LO and LO loves it and smiles. It makes me feel so good to know she is with someone who truly cares about her while I am not there.

    Our DC lady kisses M on the forehead and cheeks all the time. It makes her smile and laugh.  I really like that DC lady is so attached to M.
