They apparently have many complaints, but couldn't tell us the specifics. Seems like it could be somewhat widespread. I'm already contacting some of the parents there that I'm close with, but they haven't heard anything.
His behavior isn't relevant and I'd definitely be getting as much of that shit in writing as possible. You can't hit somebody's kid.
Fucking terrible. So thankful we're able to avoid daycare because shit like this would be my ultimate fear.
There’s a lot of benefits to daycare, the only universal drawback is cost imo. Having your child abused is pretty rare.
My guess is that it's rare but is very underreported. If what Where Eagles Dare is saying is true, the only reason they were alerted was because a parent caught a teacher. WED have you been contacted by anyone at the daycare about this? I'm assuming no. I've no idea what I would do. I've followed your struggles ITT about your son's behavior and it's fucking heartbreaking that some of it may have been due to abuse. I really hope you get some resolution and some compensation at the very least. Dropping your kid off even when you need a break is still tough because you can't be there for them while you're gone.
I've already contacted one of my good buddies who's old law partner has dealt with stuff like this. I don't want to contact them
Dealing with a group of people that aren't ethical (if that's the right word). Of course they are gaslighting your son the way they have allegedly been treating him. Spoiler Now I'm furious for you. Like I'm preparing to go to jail thinking if a bitch smacked my kids
I can't get over that a parent saw this happening and was the one who reported it. I don't expect a bad employee to report themselves, but that means other employees there had to have known about this.
This shit sucks man and I’m sorry it’s happened to your family. I know you said you’ve got a buddy but if you need any counsel recommendations I’d be happy to give some.
Sorry to hear that WED, truly awful situation. Only silver lining is now he can get into a more compassionate setting to prepare him for pre-K even if finding another daycare is another stressor adding on to things.
My 9yo got over the stomach flu/norovirus earlier this week. I pick my kids up from school an hour ago and finish my workday. Come downstairs and there’s a lunchbox out. Ask my older one where that came from and he says that was his lunch from yesterday. He then tells me he was hungry and ate the rest of his turkey sandwich from that lunch just now. So my son, who just got done puking/shitting his brains out for 3-4 days, just ate a two day old unrefrigerated turkey cheese sandwich. At least he will be super skinny for bathing suit season.
Went to Kansas City this weekend and the amount of gentrified neighborhoods with kid friendly places like breweries and restaurants has me hankering to move.
We’ve got plenty of that in CA too and it’s not flat if you’re location shopping, but I could see how it’d be tough to choose that over the KC weather
Atlanta suburbs are like this now too and while most breweries in Portland are kid friendly, those ones in the suburbs are almost purpose built to let you get a drink while your kid plays on a playground.
We’re really enjoying the new trend of brewpubs with toys, playpens, and arcade games as an aesthetic lmao
My wife’s current job commitment is done in like 15 months and we’re either staying in Manhattan ks or moving to KC.
We toured one once. I don't believe in it as a replacement for actual school, but for daycare seems perfectly fine to me. May be helpful for your son as I think a lot of the focus is on the individual, self responsibility, etc. Probably the opposite of what he experienced previously without even getting into the bad stuff.
My two year old was kind enough to bring me my phone while I was in the pool. "Take a picture? Cheeeese. Cheeese. Picture". Then after pleading with him to put it down or hand it to me.
Yeah he's super independent and head strong. I like the set up. Think we might switch there. Gonna have to see how it goes and stay there for pre K or go free public
Came real close to this walking into Kroger this weekend. Lil bruh saw that bright handle and started grabbing
Six year old daughter has discovered Aqua's Barbie World music video on YouTube and has watched it at least a dozen times this week.
Any tips or wish-you-knews going into your second kiddo? Our first (little boy) turned two last weekend and we have baby boy #2 arriving early May. TYIA
Well there will be about a 3-6 month adjustment period for first kid because he isn't the center of attention any more. Is normal their brains can’t comprehend it yet, just redirect with tasks to help or play etc. the first few weeks was rough, she let me sleep at night so I could take oldest to daycare then id take over and let her sleep during day until I had to cook dinner and go get him from daycare. Don’t feel bad about moving baby out of room. We all slept better when baby couldn’t smell mom by her anymore and we got solid 4 hour stretches. I kicked her out at 4 weeks and things got better than the every 2 hr wake ups. (Granted we turned one of our closets into a nursery and separated by the bathroom so real close) Oh and most importantly it'll suck ass. We still have random out burst from toddler a year later when were dealing with the one year old.
In a couple years you’ll realize that boys make a lot of noise. We have two that are 5 and 8, and it’s constant noise, all the time. So you have that to look forward to. On a positive note, getting to the point where kid1 can get snacks/breakfast/cartoons setup for both of them on weekends is life-changing.
My son loves singing "I'm a barbie girl, in a barbie wor--ld" he's got the first verse and second nailed down
This brings up another question. How did your toddler do with your newborn’s crying/wake ups at night? Did they sleep through it or also wake up?
