Hate my daycare

[Anonymous]

The director is obnoxious and the other parents are so rude and discourteous. Who lets a door slam in the face of a person carrying a child or worse carrying a child and holding the hand of another. There is more but I don't want to give myself away.
Is it just a sign of the times? Kind of like young able bodies men sitting on the metro while women stand?

Daycares suck or we as humanity suck suck sucky.

Sounds like you arent in the right place. Maybe you should be looking someplace else where there are those that respect each other

Pull your kid asap and go elsewhere. Let the director know why.

Those parents who are letting the door slam are thinking about themselves. Pick up child, go home, drop child off, repeat. It is the life they picked. Talk to the director, or better yet the the offending parent directly. They could be so far into their own needs that they do not even see you. Good luck

I agree: often parents are "in the zone" during pick-up/drop-off and unaware of all of those around them.
Unfortunately, this often extends to their own children. Many parents arrive at the end of the day, busy with phone calls and not willing to even take a few moments to greet their children, let alone show courtesies to others.

Open the door yourself. They did. You can too. So entitled.

Agree that you may be in the wrong place, but after reading that you think men should give up their seats to women on the Metro, maybe the problem is your expectations are out of line with reality, which means you won't be happy anywhere.

Really. Luckily I have encounter other women that feel the same. Like the elderly lady on my train with the cane who loudly asked the young man- are you disabled? OR the other woman who stepped over a man so that the clearly pregnant woman could have her seat.

PP, I hope you are not raising boys because with your attitude they will remain boys and never be men.

You are joking right. I hold the door for people. I would never let the door close in the face of anybody let alone a person with their hands full. God I hope you are joking.

You did not say elderly or pregnant woman. You said that men should give up their seats to women.

Maybe the "jerk" didn't see her.

There are lots of horrible daycares and some very good ones. I even think some of the full day preschools are better than those half day coop like church ones. You have to look hard, ask questions up front and maybe look beyond the one right down the street.

An alternative point of view: daycares have codes that you are supposed to punch in to let yourself in. The lack of security at some daycares, based on the casualness of letting people in without having to punch in a code, is a big pet peeve of mine. At a daycare we were in out of state, no one could hold the door because each person had their own code, which would then unlock the door and print out a "receipt" at the front desk, that you then took to your daycare room to check in. This is a way better system. The daycare we're in now has the same code for everyone and it drives me nuts. That's basically no security at all.

So while I agree that it would otherwise be a rude thing to do (and I still hold the door for people despite this being a huge pet peeve of mine), for some people it may just not be something they're comfortable doing.

I am so glad that we use a daycare with courteous staff and parents. The parents all look out for each other. Many of us recognize the other kids even if we don't recognize the parents and people hold doors for each other, lend a helping hand and actually stop our personal reveries to say hello and chat. The kids love it there and so do the parents. The openings come very slowly and fill very quickly when they come up.

So you let in strangers that you don't recognize...into a daycare full of kids.
