To the parents at my daycare center...

[Anonymous]

I am a teacher at a daycare center and I must say, the dad who comes in with the most wondering eyes for all the teachers is creepy. He thinks we do not see him watching us but we do. I want so badly to tell your wife how much of a pervert you are. Your wife is beautiful and a great mother, do not disrespect her.

To the dad who divorced his wife and got a young female in her place, I must say, your ex wife is much better off without you. Your child does not even like your new wife.

To the mother who walks around constantly complaining, just take your child out of our care if you are that unhappy.

To the parent with the child who is not developmentally on target or even close, us teachers want to so badly tell you to please get your child help before it is too late. It should be very obvious to you, as it is to us, that your child needs help.

To the parents of the child that is constantly fighting, and says boys will be boys, you are wrong. Choking, spitting and saying you will murder another child is not in the same mind frame as a normal boy of his age.

To the parent whose child constantly pees during nap time, it would be very helpful if you actually supplied pull ups for us to use. It should be common sense if everyday we are sending home wet clothes that your child peed in.

I just had to get that off my chest... I know there are other teachers out there that are dying to say something to the parents, so please, voice your opinion. Maybe a parent will see one of these and take the comments into consideration.

Have a great day parents.

Perhaps you are in the wrong line of work, OP. It sounds like you have a lot of resentment toward the parents and a lot of unnecessary interest in their personal lives. I can't help but think that must spill over into how you deal with the kids. Our daycare providers are very open with us and vice versa, and it works great.

Also, it's "wandering," not "wondering." And "we teachers," not "us teachers."

Oh please. All daycare teachers have opinions about the children and the parents in their center. Do you think we're all saints? Yes, most of us are patient and long-suffering. But we're human. We are fond of your children and want the best for them, of course.

Thank you english professor, for taking the time out to try and degrade teachers by making it seem that we are uneducated due to a few grammar mistakes. I thank you very much.

if my child is developmentally delayed, i would love for my daycare provider to give me a heads up. i am not around other two year olds, so it would be great to hear from someone who is in the know.

The "English Professor" is right on. OP is a judgmental B. She's obviously unhappy in her line of work. Perhaps she should find something else to do.

She's trying to assuage her guilt of not being 24/7 with her kid by accusing the OP of not treating the children properly. Typical!

It is very hard to approach a parent about this topic. When we have done this in the past, parents become very upset and defensive. We do give small hints, however, we can not force a parent to have their child see a specialist. When a two year old says no words at all, such as, "mama," or "dada," it should be a sign to the parent. Are the parents in denial? Are the parents waiting for us to say something? We do not know and just try to do the best that we can when the child is in our care.

No, it is NOT obvious for parents - that is why teachers have an important role in pointing out to parents any concerns they have. They are around a lot of children at the same time and for a number of years, so they used to what is normal and what is atypical. If should schedule a meeting with the parents to discuss your concerns regarding their child development.

I am a teacher and I love my line of work. I have a BA in early childhood education. I have worked at my center for many years. I have never been happier with where I am at in life. I love the children in my care, as well as the parents. Just like I am sure parents talk about teachers, us teachers talk too. Why is it so wrong for teachers to actually speak up?

Are you OP? Are you a real teacher?

About the child who wets his pants every day at nap...do you offer a bathroom opportunity right before nap? is the child very thin/very hungry/very thisty? Could be an underlying medical condition going on like diabetes.
