My FFFC (not really flame worthy)

I hate when other people think they can make their parenting choices for me.  I absolutely hate that babysitters cannot respect my wishes and do as I ask.  No, you cannot feed my child ice cream.  No, my child should not be sitting in front of the tv. 

 It's even worse, when you walk into their house and found these things happening and they are "hiding" it from you.  Really?  If you think that it's going to make me mad, DON'T DO IT.  Apparently there's a reason you said "Shhh, Don't tell Mac".

Parenting styles are different.  I get that.  Now why can't you?!?!

    Holy crap...do we habve the same DCP???  I'm in the process of looking for new DC for these exact reasons!  I just don't think she is interacting with Emerson very much.  She's always on the phone & the older kids are always stuck in front of the TV!  She doesn't even take them outside to play!  I mean, come on lady, kids can't be cooped up in a house all day long!!

     

    Sorry your going through this!!

    Not going to lie.  DCP is amazing with LO.  But, there's just that disrespect when it comes to unerstanding that we have different parenting styles and just because it was okay for their children does not mean that I am okay with it with my children.
