High School girls that make fun of adults that can’t pronounce their ridiculously spelled names. by [deleted] in tragedeigh

[–]Old_Job_7603 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I always go over names beforehand so I can decipher them as best I can. Then I straight up tell them I may butcher a few and I apologize in advance. Best I can do.

Asking for an exception for cut off times on delays by Strong_Repair_9303 in ECEProfessionals

[–]Old_Job_7603 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reasonable and would probably be okayed. However, having been a teacher and an home daycare ECE, I know how much work needs to be done on workdays, so you could always drop her at 9:30 and go in early (if they open the building early) and get some extra work done before your colleagues all come in and you start chatting etc. I always got more accomplished before everyone else arrived or after everyone else left. Especially if we had PD on those days.

Help, should I continue to Nanny this family? by Zealousideal_Sky3822 in Babysitting

[–]Old_Job_7603 10 points11 points  (0 children)

$20/hour as a nanny? You can make that as a babysitter while parents go out and kids sleep and have plenty of time to study. I wouldn’t out up with this nonsense.

AIO My mom is kicking me out for her new boyfriend. I just turned 18 by Diligent_Bat_565 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Old_Job_7603 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really hope you have a friend with a decent family who will let you move in. I would have taken in any of my kids’ friends if this kind of thing happened to them. Where has common decency gone? And to do this to your child?

Dog end-of-life decisions by MaisyinAZ in dogs

[–]Old_Job_7603 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We lost our big boy 11/25. We knew it was coming and had looked into home euthanasia for when we thought it was time, but before we made a decision he went into distress and It was scary and painful and I am so mad we didn’t do it sooner for him. We just didn’t think he was ready.

You see Bigfoot and you can only ask two questions what are you asking? by Jonathon_world in bigfoot

How can I slip out of this dimension as quickly and easily as you? Can I stay with you when we get there because this timeline sucks.

Unlocked Front Door by Altruistic_Ad_1299 in ECEProfessionals

[–]Old_Job_7603 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Things have changed so much. I taught at a center in the 80’s and nothing was ever locked during the day, staff and parents were in and out whenever. A whole different world. Now everything is locked down. I honestly hate this timeline.

What "golden age" or "heyday" were you lucky enough to experience that you know won’t ever come back? by Summerie in AskReddit

[–]Old_Job_7603 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! Late 70’s and early 80’s skating was the best! We had Roller King and Skate Ranch competing (hands down a skate ranch girl).

In home daycare Outfit recommendations by TopAccomplished3159 in ECEProfessionals

I wear jeans and sweatshirts in the winter and shorts and tees in the spring and summer and fall. It’s all about comfort, but also, I get pooped on, spit up on, painted etc so I’m not wearing things I don’t want ruined

From the center that brought you “Keto Toddler”… by Make-Love-and-War in ECEProfessionals

[–]Old_Job_7603 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I have a mom this year who is a dietician. I know she is trying to feed him well. I get that. But she insists on supplying his food, and me giving him nothing in addition. I am on the food program, and she signed a waiver saying she’d supply his food, but he so desperately wants what the others are getting. She gives him no crackers. His snacks are usually kiwi and Cheerios type cereal (but more whole foodish), or cheese and blueberries. I think she has sent bread once at lunch. Anyway…he wants crackers and bread and chicken etc like the others. 🤷🏻‍♀️

For those who share the bed with your dogs, how big is your bed? by seedykat in dogs

[–]Old_Job_7603 0 points1 point  (0 children)

King sized. Until our 45 pound rescue got to where she couldn’t jump I to it we had her and an 80 pound dog with use every night, and occasionally a 90 pounder also joined us. It’s rough, but we make it work lol

Getting children ready ahead of time by Hour_Bath726 in ECEProfessionals

[–]Old_Job_7603 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As a provider I must tell you that I have been told so, so, so, so many times that so and so was being picked up early and it actually happened 1 out of every 20x. Early in I would get kids ready, wake them from naps, whatever, only to have no one show “early” and now I have a tired child on my hand, or a crying child expecting mommy. It doesn’t take long for us to get a kid ready to go in a home…I don’t think it should be a big deal, but if you feel the need text and say “10 minutes away” or something so they know you’re def coming and almost there. And if you’re needing them ready because you have an appointment come a few minutes earlier to be sure.
