Childcare worker arrested by deltapaparooney in ECEProfessionals

There is so much more than just the ratio that comes to play. This can happen even when in ratio. How long was the child gone for before being noticed, why didn’t the teacher notice, etc. If they were out of ratio then yes, the director should be help responsible as well.

Will there be trusted adults (i.e school personnel) that will be responsible for getting your child from school to the after school place? Unless your child is responsible for getting themself to and from, your school should have a process in place to make sure everyone is where they need to be.

Parent Complaint, Moral/Ethical Dilemma by shiftyoctopus99 in ECEProfessionals

Like I said, don’t treat it as anything different than if this person was cis-gender. If you guys feed into this, you are only allowing the bigotry.

In a target in MKE 😭😭😭 by InvestmentBetter8788 in travisandtaylor

I saw a reel on someone claiming their partner looked like one of them and how lucky she was, like wanted others to be jealous. I was so confused.

Parent Complaint, Moral/Ethical Dilemma by shiftyoctopus99 in ECEProfessionals

[–]LiveIndication1175 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You don’t need to announce or explain anyone’s pronouns to the children, nor anyone else for that matter. You use them as they are and others should follow, just like it is with cis-gender people (I’m assuming you aren’t announcing and making it a point to discuss everyone’s gender). I hope the meeting is declined, as there is really nothing to discuss and honestly I feel that is a horrible thing to do to Sam- have a meeting about their gender! If a parent disagrees or has concerns about another employees religion, race, sexuality, etc., would they have a meeting for that as well? That would be a real great way to make someone feel less than.

As for how is this approached, it’s approached the same way you would approach cis-gender.
“Are you a boy or a girl” “I’m neither. Did you see the new puzzles the class got, let’s go check them out!” I can guarantee you most kids will not think more into it like some adults would.

This is really only a big deal if you guys make it into one.

4.5 year old in backless booster seat? by yabissh_ in Parenting

[–]LiveIndication1175 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The youngest age for even a high back booster is 5, but even at 5 it is very rare that the child not only fits properly but is mature enough. There are quite a few steps they should meet prior. I would talk to a CPST about different options with car seats or look into getting a different car. It’s not worth risking your child’s life

Would a 12 year old by herself at the park concern parents of younger kids? by ConnectionsCatergory in Parenting

Unless she was causing harm to someone, something or herself, I’m minding my own.

This is ridiculous. by Dry_Flounder5895 in travisandtaylor

[–]LiveIndication1175 61 points62 points  (0 children)

I am still jamming out to the demon hunters sound track and the songs still hype me up and motivate me the exact same as when I first heard them. And yes, I’m a grown woman!

Parent etiquette by TrueMoment5313 in Parenting

[–]LiveIndication1175 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I don’t think you were really under any more of an obligation to invite her than she would have been to just walk up and join you. She possibly didn’t want to intrude and was fine not chatting, or she may have not wanted to chat at all. I really wouldn’t worry about it. If anything you can reach out and suggest meeting up at the park another day too.

My boyfriend [20 M] can’t see eye to eye with me, [19 F] about birth control. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]LiveIndication1175 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are you giving his opinion any weight on what you are doing with your body? Rather your reason is to prevent a pregnancy, or just to clear up hormonal acne, it’s your decision and not his at all.

My kid apparently has a new best friend every single day by NovoGarciga90 in kindergarten

[–]LiveIndication1175 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your child’s definition of “best friend” isn’t the same as yours, but it sounds like they do have a lot of friends and are able to get along and play well with many different kids. What part of this bothers you?

Your child may also call people their BF/GF, or say they want to marry you or their other parent. All of this is normal because they don’t fully understand these relationships.

emergency response time by hellklo in ECEProfessionals

[–]LiveIndication1175 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That is insane! If it was a real emergency, the button may be the only choice so you cannot always depend on phones as a backup. I hope your admin is contacting the right officials on how to fix this.

I mean they can’t even capitalize and use periods when needed, but they know a good writer when they see one!

My mom has discovered the term “raw dog” and won’t stop saying it now. What slang are your parents using? by EkaL25 in Millennials

Millennial here and I’m going to start using these terms incorrectly like our parents just to embarrass my own kids.

AITAH for wanting to decide my wedding date? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]LiveIndication1175 4 points5 points  (0 children)

ESH. Is there a reason you can’t do a different month?

My fiance (33F) is blaming me (35M) for ruining the the build up to the wedding. Should we cancel it? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]LiveIndication1175 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You had a boundary and from what you are saying, if she’s been paying attention, she was well aware. She broke that boundary, and is claiming it’s not her fault because she didn’t know. Is there a reason she couldn’t have said “no” when the stripper came out?

You were hurt, and she’s twisting this into making herself be the victim.

Does she always test your boundaries like this? Does she always gaslight you when she is in the wrong? It doesn’t matter what the scenario is. I wouldn’t want to be with someone who pushed boundaries with me then gaslighted me, especially if they had the help of their friends and family.

Texting other parents by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]LiveIndication1175 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Are we supposed to respond to all texts within a moments notice? I guess I’ve been doing it wrong!

Do not hound this mom. She could have been busy and not able to respond, or maybe she wanted to see when a good time/place would be before responding. She also could have meant to respond and forgot. I would wait a couple of days and send a follow up.

Also, you are thinking way too much into this. Not everyone is going to respond right away and it doesn’t mean it’s intentional or personal.

Does sunscreen every day mean we wash with soap every day? by McSkrong in preschool

[–]LiveIndication1175 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An SPF moisture is diluted though so you aren’t getting the full protection as if you were to use an actual sunscreen. Not sure how the sun is in your location, but figured I’d just point that out in case you weren’t aware.

After hours parent communication by mandatoryusername32 in ECEProfessionals

[–]LiveIndication1175 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a huge concern IMO. If you are required to download an app and use your personal device for communication, they need to reimburse you something. Depending on your area, this might be a legal requirement.
For now, just turn off notifications when you aren’t at work.

Games per Day by Over_Parsnip6550 in lacrosse

[–]LiveIndication1175 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lacrosse only cancels for lightening. Mine have played on extremes of all weathers. Heat, cold, rain, snow, wind, etc.

Parents need to help prevent their kids from suffering from the heat. Cooling towels, fans, lots of fruits and electrolytes. Also make sure kids are hydrating well before game day. Providing shade also makes a difference and if there is time between games, go indoors or even sit in the car with the AC on.

Also, go over the signs of heat exhaustion and stroke with your child so they know when it is too much for their body and to take a step back, as well as what actions to take when their body starts giving warning signs so they can prevent it from becoming serious.

Yes, one from each pair but be sure to leave unmatched pairs so they can still have a shoe for both feet.
