UO/Judgment day

Okay, let's hear 'em.

I'm sorry YH is sicky. No fun for anyone.

I judge my friend for putting herself in crazyass situations. I just received the craziest call from her. She asked me to take some snacks to her daughter's school today, because she wasn't informed it was her daughter's snack day. She's broke right now, too, because she's going through some outrageous legal situations. Granted the legal matters aren't her fault, but she chose to formerly marry an asshoIe, left him, and is now with a former drug lord thug. These events would likely not occur if she didn't procreate with fuckwads.

I judge my bereavement policy through my union.

I don't get a bereavement day at work because MH grandpa is not considered my grandpa. I get an occurrence point against me for going to the funeral. (9 a year and you are autocratically fired) "Yeah I'm sorry but my part-time job is not as important as my family... so next time you want me to help you out of a pinch expect a me to say f off."

Super that's pretty douchey of your DH's work.

I judge the teachers at misters daycare that have been telling me that "he's had such a good day" and then a new hire starts asking me when his bedtime is, and that he needs to go to bed earlier because he can't stay awake until naptime after lunch. Ummm this is news to me, and I know you have a full class but I can't control that he has not fully transitioned to one nap a day. Sometimes he can make it and other times he can't. If it's obvious he's tired as all get out, then why don't you let him take a 30 min catnap like he was doing when he first transitioned to the toddler room.

I don't appreciate hearing that you are doing everything you can to keep him awake and my child is "falling asleep while still standing". I had a talk with a teacher that was in his room and she promised to pass it along to the main teacher. So we'll see what I hear when I go pick him up. I pay alot of good money to have you take care of my child, and if he needs more time to get to the one nap a day track then give it to him. He can't be the first child to have gone through the center taking longer than the others to get on the one nap a day schedule.

This breaks my heart. I hope they work with you on this. Can you talk to the director?

I judge DH's work for giving him such a hard time about calling in sick one day this week. He was up all night in the bathroom puking his guts out. It was not pretty. He almost never calls in sick (maybe averages one sick day a year...maybe) so there's no reason to suspect he's abusing sick leave or anything, and he called in on a rainy Wednesday so it's not like it was a sunny Friday or anything, but they still questioned him and acted like they didn't believe him. Jerks.

Oh I totally judge MHs work for the same thing, they give him a ton of vacation and sick time but if he needs a day off its jumping through hoops. When I had Lo she was a scheduled c on a Thursday and his supervisor tried to put him on the schedule for the following Sunday. I was still in the freakin hospital an hour away! He gets 2 weeks of paternity leave!

I am sorry you are going through that Spicy. DD still takes an extra nap in the afternoon some days. If she doesn't do that, she always falls asleep on the car ride home. She is not a great napper so she only sleeps for 45 minutes at her midday nap, and then is tired later on.

It's just another nail in the coffin for DH. He wants to send them somewhere else, that is preferably cheaper but the only options are at home daycare's. Which there's nothing wrong with if you find the right person, but I'll be damned if I'm just going to pick one and send my babies there. Not happening, someone I trust would have to make one hell of a recommendation and until that happens even though the things they do or don't notice bother me, I know in general they are taking care of my babies and that they are safe there. Some things just make me go and even though I'm polite I wonder if I'm "that parent" with them, because it doesn't seem like anyone else is having that problem...just me.
First, I'm sorry that you're having trouble with the daycare and I hope they fix the issue asap.
As for the above quoted text, you're not the only one who feels like "that parent." T is with her grandma right now but that is a temporary situation and we're looking into daycares right now to transition her into. Financially speaking we're stupid to put her into a center because they are so darn expensive, but I don't know if I can bring myself to put her in a home daycare at all. Like you, I'd have to get a darn good recommendation from someone I fully trust to put me even a little at ease. So far we have one place that a family member uses and I do trust their judgment, but a coworker interviewed the same place and had several big red flags come up. I'm not sure I could ever really trust the place or not, so I'm back to square one. It's frustrating.

Oh, I totally think I'm THAT parent, too. All of the other moms seem so easy going but I feel like I have a thousand questions and concerns. I'm pretty sure if I try to discuss the menu with someone at DD's center again, they'll kick me in the pants.

Like Spicy, there are things that bug me about DD's DC but she loves her teachers, has a lot of little friends there and has taken off socially since moving to the toddler room.

I am sorry about YH's grandpa. That is a stupid policy. Ours is similar, but they're pretty lenient about it.

I judge my sister! She has time to spam my email and Facebook with her stupid jewelry party invitations and memos, but she can't find the time to email me my family pictures and or drop of the CD so I have them!
She truly is talented at photography but she is so flakey and unpredictable that it is so hard to let her do our pictures! I still haven't gotten a disk of B's 12 month pictures! And I text her today to find out if she was in fact dropping them off, no response I already no that she is ignoring me and she does not have my pictures!
I am all for people following their dreams and passion, but step the fluck up an get sh!t done so you can become a reputable business!
Or give me my money back so I can go get them done some where else!

You paid her to do your pictures 6 months ago, oh hell no! I assumed since it was your sister she did them for free and I was thinking that is kind of what you deal with when a family member does something for free. But, if you paid her I would treat her like any other service provider. She would be getting weekly emails requesting my photos in addition to texts and phone calls. At this point, I would probably tell her that you will not be using her services to take any more pictures but that you do want the pictures she has already taken immediately.

Would you mind sharing what daycare center you take your babies to (you can PM me if you want)? I had to pull H from a daycare off 96th because I couldn't take the constant chaos and lack of organization. I was always getting different stories from different teachers and I think she had 5 incident reports filled out on her in 6 months. She kept getting bit and the third time I finally demanded that another staff member shadow her to protect her from the other little monsters. It wasn't just one child biting so their policy of shadowing the biter wasn't working because while one biter was being shadowed another kid would bite her. Her new DC has a little bit more teacher fluctuation during the day (there are a lot more teachers that work in the room on any given day) and their menu isn't the greatest but they seem to genuinely care about her. Plus, they got her off the bottle and get her to eat so they get gold stars for that!

Spicy - I'm really sorry about your daycare situation and I hope it gets resolved soon.

Penny - Your employer's bereavement policy really blows and I'm sorry you have to take a hit to attend your grandfather-in-law's funeral. Not right at all.

I have a really tame UO related to FB. I have a friend who's pregnant and insistent about not divulging private info (which is totally understandable) but she's always vague-booking about being pregnant and getting tons of comments like, "omg are you pregnant?" which she only half acknowledges. Half-talking about it is still talking about it! If you want to keep private shiit private, don't mention it. Or just say, "hey dudes, i'm up the duff" and move on. But all these dumb status updates and coy responses are so AW that I really can't do anything but roll my eyes even though I'm really happy for her.

And as a general comment, if you really are concerned about privacy, FB probably isn't the best place for you to begin with.

OMG rubysue, this would annoy the sh*t out of me. I would hide this person for sure. I hate when people try to get attention on FB this way.
