Nothing is uglier than a professional, working mother making life more difficult for another mother.

Seriously people . . . those of you who refuse to use providers (nannies, in home providers, preschools that allow the children of providers to attend) that have young children, what do you think happens to their children? If you pay your nanny a fair market rate, just who do you think she is going to be able to pay to watch her own children if you aren't willing to accommodate?

I just don't understand how working moms can be so heartless and clueless.

I'm the one who called you unprofessional. I'm a single mother, working at a daycare center and I pay another child care center for my child to attend.

So you pay your whole salary toward another daycare? Or your kid goes somewhere subpar?

It is not my whole salary, and my child goes to a good child care center. It's obvious you are in this business for the wrong reason. You are in it for convenience and not for the love of children.

I'm not in the business...I'm a lawyer. I just think it's really sad that you work all day just to pay to send your kid somewhere else. You can't possibly be making more than a tiny bit over what your tuition to the other daycare is. Seems like a waste of your time and money and sad for your kid to be away from you all day when there's no real financial gain for the family.

It is no different than you being away from your child all day, in the office. We are both (I assume) doing something we both love and providing for our family at the same time. Sure, my paycheck isn't close to yours but if you open your mind, you will realize we just may have something in common.

There was one in-home I rejected as soon as I found out that she would be dropping off/picking up her own kid at school everyday while carting my child around. (I would have been okay with if it had been a walking trip - but not with my kid being driven around.)
You don't seem to mention (at least not where I could see) whether there are other full-time care providers and how many kids are in your care - this was the first thing I wanted to know when I was interviewing home daycares, since I did not want a solo provider.

And what do you propose a daycare provider do about her own child because you dont want snowflake"carted" around? I have taken child care children to school and activities and had to cart my child along for the ride. Its okay for that but not for yours? You need to remember that is why most child care providers are providing a service to parents while it enables her to stay home with her own child.

Are you the OP? I sure hope not... Daycare providers need to arrange care for their own children. Yes you have a family, but you also have a job.

No i am not the OP. I AM a daycare provider and glad I have WAY more understanding parents/clients than those on this forum. Yes, I have a family. Why should I have to find someone else to do something I am quite capable of doing myself? I chose this occupation in order to juggle both work and my family and I do quite well at it. but then this isnt about me.
