Am I Overreacting? Posted: 01-14-08 20:47pm
My son used the word Pu++y today. He went
to the in home daycare center for
preschool just for a few hours and used
the word later today. I called "my friend"
the daycare provider and she said that she
has never heard her son use that word
although he has used other words, which
she admits. She asked if my son could have
picked it up at his other preschool and
there is no way. The other preschool is
always engaged in activities and the kids
are very quite. It's not chaotic like this
in home daycare.
"My friend" the daycare provider is very
strict but she really has no control what
two of her four kids hear at their fathers
house. Their father has an additional two
kids and is dating someone with four kids.
He also has a tendency to swear a lot. Her
son that is my son's age acts horribly and
my son is picking up on the habits. I know
my son will learn negative things from
wherever he goes. It's his age but this is
insane. Perhaps I should look into a
daycare where the person watching my kids
doesn't have four kids of her own and
doesn't have kids the same age as my kids.
This is the same place where my kids
picked up ringworm because "my friend" let
a stray in the house. I got another
ringworm on my face yesterday. It's not
noticeable but it's horrible. She feels
bad about this but how much should I put
up with. My baby has a bald spot on the
back of his head due to a ringworm. Why
the hell did my baby get a ringworm? I
hate this.
I am friends with this woman. She is the
closest friend I have here. She got really
defensive when I called her today. I told
her that Nate said he heard it from
another kid not her kid but my son will
just throw out names so you really don't
know the truth with him. At least not yet.
I trust her, I really do. I know my sons
are safe - at least I think I know. Then
again, how safe can my little one really
be in a house full of kids? Sometimes
there are 10 to 12 kids at the house and
only her. She has four kids. One of them
is in junior high, so she doesn't require
a lot of supervision. She only
occasionally watches three kids and a few
of them are after school care only. I only
take them two days a week but it only
takes one second for something to happen
to my six month old. The kids sometimes
gets really rowdy.
I am honestly ready to not go back to my
job and watch a few kids myself. I make
extremely good money for only working two
days a week but I wonder if it's worth it
to put my son's in jeopardy. I had
HORRIBLE daycare experiences with Nathan
and I am already sickened just thinking
about the possible horrible experiences
with Brian. It's so hard to find someone
you trust and/or thats a good situation
for our little ones. I HATE THIS!!!
Kids are listening even when we think
they're not. They will eventually pick
these nasty words up. Ju ts explain to him
why he shouldn't be using it, and keep
your ears opened.
If it continues, then i would be
concerned.

He is four years old. I have heard him say
other words that he could pick up anywhere
but that word?? If he said the word, F==k
I wouldn't have as big of problem because
he can pick that up anywhere. That other
word? Not many people even use that word.
The thing about Nate is that he has the
best memory ever. He seriously beats me at
the game memory. He went to preschool last
week (he goes to daycare two full days a
week and preschool for 2 1/2 hours two
other days a week) and it was the first
time they were taught all the months and
second time they were taught the days of
the week. He started telling me all the
days of the week and months of the year
two days later.
Yeah...this is just the beginning, huh?
It's just that first it was ringworm and
now this. They won't be going back to her
after this school year because my son will
be going to school at a different place
than her kids attend. I just hope that
nothing horrible happens in the next few
months.

i think the profanity is one thing, you
really dont know where he learned it but
its something you can explain to him
shouldnt be said. Words really cant hurt
anyone.
The ringworm on the other hand is just
discusting. Are you still getting them
from the same incident or is she not
sanitzing her house properly? My skin is
seriously crawling over here...

I would be upset if I were you. I know
kids can pick words up anywhere, but
daycare should be the last of places
expected! Ringworm? Uh, something ins't
right. SHe let a stray in the house with
all those children? What if it bit one of
them? I would not take them anymore unless
you want to put up with it until you find
a new sitter. I sure wouldn't take my kids
there anymore if I didn't have to.

Alright. Wish me luck. I am talking with
her tomorrow about my possible intentions
of leaving. My husband told me not to tell
her but just find a new sitter and then
pay her the two weeks instead of giving
her a two week notice. I still want to
give her a chance but really....there has
been so many things. I know I am going to
lose a friend and she really is a true
friend.
The other day I was sneezing and she asked
what I was allergic to, I said "Cats!' I
am highly allergic to cats. I can't trust
those cats not to get ringworm again.
I found another ringworm near my CROTCH
not on it - of all places a few hours ago.
WTH? Her stupid dermatologist only gave
the kids topical for the ringworm on their
scalp whereas everything I read says they
must have oral to get rid of scalp
ringworm because it's deep in the
hairshaft. Even my regular ped said that.
Her kids keep spreading it around and she
doesn't even know it. I need to get my
kids the hell out of their. If I end up
getting a friggen bald spot on my scalp I
will seriously go ballistic.
I can't have an oral antifungal cream
because I am breastfeeding. It takes six
weeks to complete the oral treatment. Yes,
six weeks. That means no more
breastfeeding if we go that route...if it
ends up on my damn scalp. Hell NO! I
refuse to chance going bald just to not
hurt her feelings. Screw that.
Bye bye friend. I am usually not that
strong. Sh_+! F+-K!
I usually don't swear either. Give me
strength guys. I work all day tomorrow and
I MAY tell her tomorrow night.

My nearly 3 year old son came out with
"For f*ck's sake" the other day. I was
horrified because I certainly don't use
that language around him. Then I noticed
my husband looking sheepish and he
admitted that while he was driving Max to
the shop earlier that day, another car had
cut him up and the words had slipped
before he had time to think.
We chose to ignore it and he hasn't said
it since. Kids are like sponges!
