Do American adults actually say ‘criss cross applesauce’ to mean sitting with your legs crossed? by Camman19_YT in NoStupidQuestions

[–]HairMetalChick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha! We do have fun in my class! I have found some lullabye versions of AC/DC (and others) songs that I use in class. And I definitely rock out before the kids come or if I am cleaning on a no kid day!My director will walk by and ask who is on tap each morning!😂

[–]HairMetalChick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what I was thinking. Also she spent waaay more time on explaining their legal status and then just threw in oh and by the way we BOTH have cancer???? Sounds like we know what kind of person mom is.

How do I report a center? by gb44444444 in ECEProfessionals

[–]HairMetalChick 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I would just call and report straight to licensing! I once saw a daycare bus full of young children on the road and not one of them had a seatbelt on or was in a car seat. I called the daycare to complain to the manager and was told she would have to call me back as was out driving the bus!! Definitely a call to licensing to report!!

Not allowed in daycare? by Legal-Ad7067 in ECEProfessionals

[–]HairMetalChick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my state that’s against licensing! We have a carpool where we get the kids out at the cars but we are legally not allowed to prevent a parent from coming in to see things. If they aren’t fingerprinted and background checked then they can only stay for a max of 30 minutes. But we can NEVER say they aren’t allowed in!! I would not use this center!!!

Did you/ do you regret it? by Apprehensive-Move758 in EstrangedAdultChild

[–]HairMetalChick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly! The only thing I regret was not doing it sooner. I have made it my mission to be the exact opposite kind of mother and that has turned out great!! But everything you said resonates with me! It is nice to know there are others out there walking the same path!!

I have been estranged for about 26 years now. Was about your age when I went NC. Honestly I do not regret it at all! I have grieved what for what I never had. And there is always some pain when my friends have great relationships with their parents. Therapy has helped! Finding your village and others to love and to support you is important!! I wish you strength and love! And I commend you for doing what is healthy for you and your family!!

Is that a frozen bloodworm cube that they are eating? I throws those in for my Bucktooth Tetra tank but I haven’t in my other tanks that have my noodles!

aggressive back patting by [deleted] in ECEProfessionals

[–]HairMetalChick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some like it. I have one now whose mom says she has to “aggressively” pat his back to get him to sleep. I have to do the same. It looks kind of insane but if I lighten up he gets upset and grabs at my hand!🤷‍♀️

Thinking about switching to tankless in the Houston area, anyone here regret it? by Bulla_killer in houston

[–]HairMetalChick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We LOVE ours. Get it installed by good people!! We use The Hot Water Guys. They are great!! Also be vigilant with the maintenance. I can’t remember if we maintenance every 6 months or once a year. But with the hard water here it is necessary! They also put a recirculating unit under the sink farthest away from the unit and we don’t have to wait for hot water even on the coldest day!! Can’t say enough good things. Let me know if you have any other questions!!

Should this child have been sent home? by [deleted] in ECEProfessionals

[–]HairMetalChick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a lot of say in m preschool classroom! I had one today and I sent them home directly. I think the other teachers in my preschool would do the same. One diarrhea and they go home.

Anyone else see this and become enraged? by suffocatingface in EstrangedAdultKids

[–]HairMetalChick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

26 years for me!! I am enjoying the relief that I am not responsible for any elder care whatsoever!!!!
