We have tried to figure our finances every which away but loose and still can not come up with a way for me to just stay home.

I dropped Annika off this morning and her CCP tells me Monday she will be going up on her rates. (Thanks for the notice!) I didn't say anything because what am I going to say right? Well I tell her I will be the one picking up Annika and will be there between 445 and 5 this evening. Well I got there right at 5. She wasn't home. I figured maybe she would be there any minute or something. 30 minutes later I'm getting a little concerned. 45 minutes later I'm looking up hospital numbers. 1 hour and 15 minutes later she shows up. She was at Wal Mart right up the road. No, I lost track of time no nothing. I was near to tears at this point. Then really snotty like she tells me Annika needs gloves, hat and shoes. Well she had on a hooded jacket. She's not going to keep on mitten or gloves sorry. She had on really thick socks because her Roobez wouldn't ft over her socks this morning.



I'm done I"m over it. I don't want to tell her I'm looking for something new because I don't want her being mean to Annika but on the other hand I hate not to give some kind of notice. To top it off-------- I got rid of Annika's diaper rash while I had her for two days. I think it was the Huggies. Anyway, I give her Pampers and tell her to just give me the huggies. Well I forgot to get the huggies and guess what Annika had on. PLus it looked like she wasn't being wiped right. PLUS her diaper rash is back.

I swear I just wish someone would toss me a bone today. So Monday I'm going to be hot and heavy on the phone. I dont' care if the care center is out of the way for me.

I know you all are sick of hearing me ^&%$@ but I was going to explode. Shawn is in New Orleans AGAIN and I am about to just go ape.

mom2my2cuties replied: WOW! This woman really seems to think that she has you by the collar doesn't she. I wouldn't worry about giving notice. I would flat out tell her on the last day Annika is there that you do not appreciate your daughter recieveing substandard care and not being there when you come to pick her up. That would have put me over the top. Especially if I was not late.

And as far as her telling you what your daughter needs...I would have just said Bite me...But sometimes I can be witchy like that when people start pointing out this and that about the kids when frankly, its none of thier business and there isn't a problem to begin with.

Maddie&EthansMom replied: Yeah, hun....It's time to look for someone else. What a nightmare!! I'm so so sorry!

C&K*s Mommie replied: WOW! The nerve of her! You did well for holding your tongue Holley. Not me, from what she has pulled in the past on you, I would not have held back after this latest.


If there is anything that I can do, just ask.

CantWait replied: I'm so sorry Holley.

Hillbilly Housewife replied: I would write down everything you've told us, and REPORT HER. I'd have been on her butt like a cat on a mouse if she'd been treating MY daughter that way.

sparkys2boys replied: of, first.. take a deep breath!! You know mom knows best.. if your not happy and your worried, then get the heck outta there!! This women sounds like a nightmare! Best of luck with it all!!

mckayleesmom replied: What kind of daycare provider isn't there for you to pick up your child?

MyBrownEyedBoy replied: Bad, DCP, Bad. I agree with Rocky, you should report her. Also, don't tell her until you pick Annika up on her last day. My sister told her old DCP before hand and came the next day to find all Kenna's stuff on the front lawn in the rain. Witch! Holley, I truly hope you can find a place where you and Annika will feel happy and safe. If only you lived here, I'd give you my center's number, they are great!

boyohboyohboy replied: oh holley for you.
we had a really hard time at first when i stayed home, we had to cut way back, no going out, no eating out, no fast food, and losts of tuna and pasta stuff for dinner, and we went to one car, so i was stuck home all the time, it lasted about 6 months until we got our affairs in order.
it was so worth it.
we really had to penny pinch though.

MotherForever2043 replied: That's terrible. Hopefully, you'll get a better
daycare provider.

gr33n3y3z replied: sorry to hear this Holley
I wish I lived closer bc I would take care of her for you

holley79 replied: Thanks ladies. I am so totally over her. I am going to be making some phone calls on Monday. The only reason I held my tounge is because I have to take Annika there till I find another place. I don't want her doing anything to my daughter. I would be int he county jail for murder. (Guess Bri and Nicole could come visit me. ) I went from scared to death to mad as a cat thrown in a lake.

Maybe after the child support is paid off I can stay home. Till then I have to find some place. I wish we al lived closer because I would drop her with any of you guys any day.

A&A'smommy replied: what a PITA!!! good luck finding a new place I hope you find something wonderful!!

mummy2girls replied: wow.. im mad just readin that. (((HUGS))) Believe me hun I know the frustrationa nd hurt youa re feeling when i had jenna in daycares/dayhomes. Its tough to find good childcare.. and these dumb providers give us bad names If I even attemped to not be home when the kids parents were due to come home i would lose the kids. That is grounds for termination.. for the provider. What you shoudl do is look for a new place and then when you found the place give your provider the 2 week notice after that. BUT i know how you feel you dont want to give her notice because i yanked my child out of care on the spot with no warning whatso ever one time! from this point on if she does not give you up front notice by phone or in person she is taking your child somewhere in the car dont allow her too or you will report her. PLUS she should be getting from you a signed permission slip to allow her to transport annika because what happens if something happens? God i wish you were here hun i would take her in a second!

mckayleesmom replied: Ya...Most of you know that I have a huge car phobia about my kids in cars with other people (Im getting better though) .......That one would have made me a little ticked off..

Boo&BugsMom replied:
That is what I'd like to know! I would NEVER take the kids anywhere without a signed permission slip. I do not leave the house except to go on walks and to the park unless I have something signed. And when we do go to the park or on a walk, I post a sign saying where we are.

Holley, this girl obviously is not considerate of others. Do you know any of the other parents? Do they say anything about her? Is she a licensed provider?

And raising her rates giving less than a week's notice?!? I raised my rates and gave a 3 month notice! I have got to say...SHE SOUNDS VERY UNPROFESSIONAL! I don't understand how she keeps business if this is how she runs her daycare. AND, if she has issues with you she certainly doesn't know how to communicate them properly.

I would be out finding someone new. There are good ones out there, you just have to look and make sure you ask TONS of questions.

ETA: if you do report her, don't even tell her at all. There is not any law stating you have to tell someone when you report them. Just report her and don't say anything to her about it.
