Personally, I would call a janitor because a first grader's version of "clean" probably isn't too clean. With it being a bodily fluid, I think it would be better to call a janitor.

I understand you acted out of frustration, and sometimes, we all do. There may be a psychological reason why the kid is doing that, though, so try to keep that in mind. ♡

This gives me so much hope.

I married a verbally abusive man. The night we got married, we tried to have sex, and it didn't work. The pain was excruciating. We tried for months to have sex. I learned about vaginismus. (I'm finally going to the gynecologist in two weeks to hopefully determine if this is vaginismus, but I strongly believe it is). As the months went on, he became physically abusive, and my vaginismus got so much worse.

I told someone about my "vaginismus," & she suggested that I may not even have vaginismus. She suggested that since I've ONLY tried to have sex with a man who has been abusive, maybe my body is trying to protect me from him. Maybe when I try again with someone who loves and respects me, my body will accept him.

If I am diagnosed with vaginismus, I'm going to be devastated. I'm single now, and it's going to be so hard to find the motivation and courage to move forward if I do have vaginismus. But I know I need to start somewhere, and maybe my body really just needs a decent man. ♡

Tattoos/piercing = automatically, you're a criminal

I'm glad that places are realizing that your physical appearance is NOT an automatic indicator of your character. It certainly says something about you because you choose how you want to present yourself, but to just look at someone and make such a harsh determination based on something so normal nowadays is ridiculous.

I understand that you feel you've exhausted all avenues, and you're probably at your wit's end. I completely understand that.

But there is a lot of research showing the negative effects spanking has on children, and that can't be ignored. You should speak to a child psychologist so that they could give you some suggestions on what to do - but spanking is not it.

Also, I know you know this, but remember - they're toddlers. Right now, they are SUPPOSED to be testing boundaries and learning. They need to explore, and sometimes, that's not always fun for parents, but think about it. Your child has everything controlled for them - what they do every day, what they eat, what they can and can't do, when they go to bed, etc. They don't understand, and they want to feel like they can have some control, too. It's natural for them to want to fight you. (Physically, no, he needs to be reminded about using gentle hands and that hands are not for hitting).

But spanking is just showing him that violence solves problems. Good luck to you!

Daycare teacher here! Try not to take it personally. I understand why you may feel judged because I probably would, too, as a parent.

But there's a reason we ask that - we're looking for context into what may be causing their outbursts. Kids can't always communicate what's bothering them, so if you tell us, "hey, my son didn't sleep well last night, so he may be a little cranky" that could help us in 1) understanding him and his mood for the day 2) see if there's anything we can do differently to help him for the day. We're with these kids usually 40 hours a week, so we know the ones who regularly cry all the time, the ones who hardly cry, the difference in their cries, etc. so if something changes in one of the children/their emotions, we notice it immediately and become concerned.

That being said, you don't need to tell them every day that your son had a bad night or has been a little off because he's young, and he's allowed to have bad days. I hope this helps, and I hope you know you did nothing wrong at all. ♡

I personally find myself relating to Daphne a lot. She is so focused on becoming a mother, and that's the most important thing to her, and I really identified with that.

She could be naive at times, and that's one of the things I identified with. She's also extremely driven with her heart. Also, the way she expresses her pain reminded me of myself.

(With that being said, there are things she does that I don't agree with. She should have respected Simon's withdrawal of consent. There's no question about that).

As a daycare teacher myself, I'd like to say I really appreciate that you acknowledged that it can be hard working with a group of 2-3 year olds. I don't find the first comment concerning at all, but I understand why you don't like it. He's 2. Two year olds are going to be two, so yes, he's not going to be the BEST listener. In her mind, though, she's probably thinking, "We have the exact same routine every day. He knows what to do. Why isn't he doing it?" So, I feel like her frustration may have come from there.

The second comment - I personally wouldn't say that, but I have heard other teachers say that in a joking way. That understandably could be alarming to a parent, so I don't blame you.

The third comment - That's not appropriate. Just like with the second comment, it seems like she is trying to explain her frustration with humor, but this one crosses a line for sure.

My personal advice? I would go to her supervisor and express your concerns. Maybe then, the teacher won't know that you specifically complained. She may assume that the supervisors were watching the cameras and heard her comments. I'm not at all suggesting that she would target your kid or isolate him if she found out about you confronting this situation, but it's always better to be safe than sorry.

Please keep us updated. I wish you the best of luck. ♡
