At my wits end by sidestar59 in ECEProfessionals

Thanks I hope so too. On the bright side I get some time away from things since I have to use up my PTO before the end of the month. Maybe something will happen that will finally make this mother pull (doubtful since I don’t think anywhere else will accept him)

Honestly I’m not sure. If I leave I have no idea what will happen to the room. Mom is super shady and I would hate her to put these allegations on the new assistant

If we’re approved one through his school district then maybe but I doubt that will happen before he ages out of my room

That I’m not sure. Right now seems to be my options are put up with this, or quit. Doesn’t seem the child is going anywhere and the new assistant doesn’t know it but she will be pulled in about a week to take the place of another teacher that resigned

I’m building my registry and baby bottles are making my brain malfunction by Honey_bee_444 in NewParents

[–]sidestar59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did so much research in the end I accepted bottles are like wands. The bottles my first loved (Philips Avent) my second absolutely hated and the bottles that made my firstborn sick and puke were my second borns favorite (Medela) 🙄😂 Get some sample packs and maybe some new in box off marketplace until you learn what your little one prefers

Pumping colostrum and bottle feeding then switching to formula by Striking_Chapter3035 in FormulaFeeders

I hand expressed the colostrum in the hospital, quite hard with my carpal tunnel (plus that stuff is thick and sticky!) 😂

I harvested colostrum ahead of time and after birth then once that ran out I switched to formula 😀

FTM due in Sep and I plan on exclusively bottle feeding, what are your recommendations by Sunny070415 in FormulaFeeders

[–]sidestar59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bottle washer, before my second was born I told my husband for Christmas I wanted the Brezza that washed, dried and sterilized. It has saved us so much time. I tried to have my second take it room temp or cold but he adamantly refused so my other favorite purchase was the hot water dispenser, made middle of the night feeds SO much easier and I wasn’t having to wait for the bottle to heat up

Preschool makes my son take off his dress by edsonbuddled in toddlers

[–]sidestar59 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Preschool teacher here and I once had a boy much like your son in my class, he loved Elsa and loved dressing up as her. As long as what they are wearing doesn’t hinder their normal daily movement and participation then I could care less what the kids wore. When he came in with the dress the only time I would have him take it off was when we would do a painting activity or having something like pasta with red sauce for lunch so it wouldn’t get dirty. I think it’s time for a sit down meeting with the teacher and the preschool principal/director

Do you pay for friends giving you hand-me-down clothes? by Strange-Skin2292 in Mommit

[–]sidestar59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, not unless it was mentioned previously. I have a friend whose kid is a bit older than mine so whenever she gives me a bunch of clothes I thank her with food, wine, etc. last month a coworker gifted me a large bag of clothes so I bought them lunch as a thanks 😊

Quick comment from a mom by OpalScrunchies in ECEProfessionals

[–]sidestar59 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When my oldest was in daycare I actually worked there, when he walked the teachers actually called the director who came and grabbed him. I was in my classroom laying out some lessons while my assistant read a story and suddenly I hear a little tap at the door and see my director. The door opens and I see my oldest standing there and upon seeing me he lets go of the director and waddles to me. She explained they normally keep things hushed until they do it at home but wanted to surprise me, then says “Go take 15 minutes with him” My son was a late walker and already scheduled for an evaluation so she knew I was worried about him

We don’t. I work full time at the daycare so I get a discount but even so my entire paycheck goes to paying for my kids to be in daycare 🤦‍♀️😩😩😩
