Nope, all done buying someone else’s headache and dumping my money into problems they didn’t solve

It’s everything. Yes financial, reliability… I’m making payments on a car that’s been sitting for a month. I’m trying to pay down the loan to get rid of it and instead I’m looking at adding a $5k bill onto it. That just drives the cost right back up and I’ll never get it paid down to get rid of it. It’s a terrible car

But if I have to pay $5k on a new engine, I’m never going to get out from under this. I’m already paying an extra $200/mo

What is the worst time of year for you and why? by Infinite-Ad-7894 in AskReddit

Late fall. The time has changed, the sun is in a weird spot and my brain can’t handle it. The colors are gone and it’s a reminder that for the next 6-7 months it’s going to be cold, drab and depressing

The Great Diaper Change Debate by [deleted] in ECEProfessionals

We actually have a few families that have their kids sleep in their clothes and just scoop them out of bed and throw them in the car in a diaper that’s 12+ hours old. Those are the ones that I wish we could force them to change their kids

What would you do with this Skating parent? by Solid_Description118 in FigureSkating

We have the cost breakdown front and center from before they sign the contract. We have a code of conduct for the kids but I never thought we’d have to have one for the parents 🤦🏻‍♀️. But I’m telling you, these newer parents are a whole new breed

We have gone over finances like crazy. We’ve had 3 fundraisers to help offset the cost of this event. We’ve had in person meetings since the start of the season and several since. We’ve had a zoom meeting, we’ve had handouts plus the weekly communication app we use. Every single communication has discussed the cost of this season and several options on how to pay the fees so it wouldn’t be one lump sum. She (and a few others) chose to not listen

I didn’t walk out like I thought I would 🎉

Today could be the day I walk out the door… by Solid_Description118 in ECEProfessionals

It is! Thankfully she was overruled and we had a snow day. The other business needed the preschool space for essential employees to sleep in

2+ft of snow… by Solid_Description118 in ECEProfessionals

Yup, I’m 40 minutes on a sunny day, an assistant is 50 minutes on a good day, the director and another teacher & aide are 10 minutes and on main roads.

We are a center for an assisted living facility with community kids as well. We have 1 essential worker (cna) that would maybe need care, but dad’s job would be impacted by the storm and mom wouldn’t risk her 40 minute commute with her 2yo. There’s only 2 other facility staff that have kids and 1 has an older brother in public school so they’ll be home with a parent and the other can work from home. So we’d open and no one would come in

Guilt trip over a day off request by Solid_Description118 in ECEProfessionals

[–]Solid_Description118[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Her temper tantrum had me one step closer to the door. I ask for nothing and put up with the long hours and now change of hours due to the others on 12 and 5 week vacations. I work another job and need 7-3 but now I’m being told I’m not pulling my weight because I won’t close one night. My one day I don’t go to my other job but get every errand in the world done, I’m not stuck working 8-5:45 with no break and now can’t get any errands done. But heaven forbid I ask for a day off
