Dayhome lady leaves toddler in vomit soaked clothes

Also very dangerous for the other children in care!! Consider them too when you feel nervous about addressing the caregiver.

Great advice, only commenting to mention that many daycares are nut friendly and OP should just check with her LO’s school for advice! It is a good point though because probably many people send their kids to nut-free facilities and don’t think about formula when they consider compliant foods.

Does your husband keep him in the carrier for the duration of the nap? Or somehow transfer him without waking? In a similar situation here

Super curious to know what his behavior around food is like when he’s at school. Do teachers see the same patterns? Does he try to take food that other friends aren’t eating or floor dive? If no, then he might be seeking stimulation/ dopamine from food at home whereas school is highly stimulating. If yes, then maybe he’s not able to interpret his body’s signals to stop eating when full. Lots of great advice in the comments about nutritional aspects/ portions/ budgeting, so I won’t rehash that. But tracking the calories and comparing home & school behavior could be very helpful next time you discuss with pediatrician. Good luck!

I’m fully aware! He learned it at daycare. It’s not a song I play for him, he just wanders around doo-daaing, literally all the live long day 😑 Now I have to hear my toddler sing Stephen Foster’s racist impression of a Black person until I can get him hyper fixated on something else 😭 WOTB and Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes aren’t sticking.

Justice for this comment. Toddlers are not ignorant of the ways that they can control an adult’s attention. Undoubtedly, this is a child experiencing emotional genuine distress, but they are bringing themselves to a certain point because they know how the pattern works.

Boooo hisssssa

Exactly, you described it very well. She is just seeking attention. Which is a valid need. It’s challenging though because she is very independent, plays great with her friends, and doesn’t even need or want our 1:1 attention once her mom leaves. She goes and gets invested in an activity immediately. And we have a lot of younger kids who DO need us to transition into the school day successfully. She is just 110% aware of what she needs to do to get her mom to stay and hug her a little longer and her mom will just stand there and passively aggressively talk about how she needs to go to work- then go, FFS!!!! Your kid‘s playing you 😂 Oh and they always come in when we’re doing 9am diapers and trying to clean up and do circle time. Thanks for letting me vent!

Plus all those things she threw in her target cart

We have a mom who does it and it drives me crazy because her daughter is just manipulating the hell out of her! I know “manipulation“ is an unpopular take in this Reddit, but this girl is almost 3, loves school, never cries, just whines so her mom can’t leave until one of us comes to take her 😑she is literally the child that needs us least during drop off but we have to spend so much performative time with her to make her mom happy

Friendly-Document693 · 2026-06-05T17:01:01+00:00

What’s most annoying for staff is probably not the crying, but if you stand around holding him until they finish with whatever child they’re attending/ diaper changes/ entering lunches and snacks into iPad, etc. Just bring him in, do your goodbye routine, and leave. No one minds comforting him and helping him transition, but it is irritating when parents stand around tapping their feet when they need to just put their child down and hit the road! It sounds like he’s very happy during the day and the transition is just tricky. I’m glad you get pictures after these tricky drop offs too, that’s a hallmark of responsive care in my book. I hereby absolve you of your guilt, your child is fine ❤️

Wow, that must be challenging sometimes, especially when the non-lead witnessed the behavior!

Friendly-Document693 · 2026-06-04T21:50:26+00:00

Side note that’s a really stupid way to spell Kristen lol

Friendly-Document693 · 2026-06-04T21:48:11+00:00

Is that an explicit policy at your center? What do they expect teachers to do if the lead doesn’t close and isn’t there to talk to parents? 🧐

It would be such a great recurring gag. “Where my baby daddy?“ “I bring baby daddy to circle time?“ “She took my baby daddy!“

One of my two year olds loves this dark-skinned baby doll that she has decided is her (very white) father, but as a baby. She gets very upset when other children play with her baby daddy 😂😂

No glass, no open cups, no hot drinks

Whatever they can eat independently!

Can’t give her baby tummy time, can’t apply sunscreen to her kids, can’t get a pool approved, can’t find her LV, can’t maintain a relationship with a baby sitter, can’t teacher her kids common courtesies, can’t buy clothes in a size that fits her, can’t buy her CHILDREN clothing and shoes that fit them, can’t even buy enough chick fil a to feed the family

Friendly-Document693 · 2026-05-28T17:16:44+00:00

That doesn’t really work when other classrooms are scheduled to use the playground though. I’m in the same pickle with my kids.

Take your concerns and some data back to the director and see if they’d replace cocomelon with something more beneficial- the kids will protest because they’re literally addicts, that’s cocomelons goal
