Monday Morning vents

It's afternoon, but I didn't see one for today:

Mine: Why do people see the need to denigrate the choices of others? There's a nice way to say "we thought about it, but it wasn't for us" without making it seem like other choice was akin to feeding your kid poison.

So we ended up switching LO to the cheaper daycare. He's been there for 3 weeks now and so far, things have been good. Not perfect, but good.

Most of my gripes little things and relating to the fact they aren't too used to BF babies. Their poop is runnier, and they don't eat as large bottles. But LO seems happy, he's progressing well, growing, so the little things are things I can deal with.

Another mom at my workplace also had the opportunity to switch and didn't. When she heard I had, she gave a 2 minute diatribe as to why the cheaper daycare was horrible and how she could never have put her kid there and basically made it sound like I was a horrible mom for moving my child over.
Sigh...

I have one. My nanny brings her granddaughter with her to my home to watch my 2 girls. The girl is 3, her and my toddler are BFFs. She also has a 7 yr old sister that goes to school all day.

Well the 7 yr old fell and broke her collar bone last week and is in a sling. So this morning she came along to our house (so now my nanny has to watch her 2 granddaughters, and my 2 girls) because she the 7 yr old can't wipe herself while at school so she has to stay home.

Um.. seriously? for how long? wtf. get back to school little girl.

Ok I admit this all makes me sound like a b*** but it's just annoying to me. And I asked our nanny how long she would be home and she said she had no idea. Um, she'll be in a sling for 6 weeks according to her mom so..

Ok rant over. I guess I don't mind too much but it's just annoying to me. And our nanny can handle it but this little girl is also not much help around the house and stresses out the toddlers by fighting with them too.

Sounds to me like she is just trying to make herself feel better about leaving her kid in the expensive daycare. How annoying!

It's Tuesday, but can I still vent? Why is everything so hard? Why am I in such a bad mood trying to get out of the house in the morning? When is this going to get easier?

Can I jump in on the Tuesday vents?
DS has been in DC since he was 6 weeks old, why now does he have to scream like he is being boiled alive whenever I leave him there? It is ripping my heart out. He did it last night too when I left him with DH for my second job, he usually prefers DH. Ugh separation anxiety go away!
