Stupid ringworm

I would be so mad.. Do they still have that cat? I agree, you oughta get a few days free for having to deal with that!

i think you should make HER pay for the stuff he needs, its her fault she should pay, if she (godforbid) beat him and he got hurt she would have to pay the hospital bill right so i dont see why that should be different...but then again im evil lol

i agree thats retarded and she should compensate you for her ignorance

Wow....i would be ticked too!!! She really needs to be more responsible considering the fact that she babysits kids for a living....man oh man some people just don't think sometimes.

She should have to pay for that! I'd be so mad!!

Are you SURE it's from the cat? I mean, there are tons of ways ringworm can be caught.

But if SHE knew the kitty had ringworm, then she should DEF be held responsible!!!

Didn't you get it too?? that sucks girl!

I called her and she said, well I have no money either. Her ex isn't paying child support and she is barely making ends meet.

Get this: They are on medicaid and her insurance paid for EVERYTHING!! Her ointment cost her $12. Doctors visit free.

My doctors visit was $60, which is $20 per person. Plus everything else.

I should get some freebees but she has no money to allow for freebees. I am pissed and she just doesn't know what to say but "Oh well, I can't even pay my bills!" I need to drop the kids off for a few hours on Monday and a few hours on tuesday. If she is going to charge me for those days, that's it. GOOD BYE!

I am looking into other places but they all stink. I visited one place two days ago and it was sad. The place was clean but there were hardly any toys at all! The kids are confined to a very small space. Nathan said that he was bored when we left. There were no toys for boys yet they can't bring their own toys. I am going to look at two other places but again, the kids are a lot younger than nathan and I don't think they have toys.

I really should just consider an actual daycare facility, At least they would have toys and things for the kids to do.

I don't know. I am just so freakin' annoyed right now.

I would be so pissed!!!

Are you going to talk to her about it?

I already did when I was charged that much and she just sounded mad and said, I don't have any money in my bank account. I told her I just paid her (transfer funds automatically) and she said OK. She has her own financial issues. I don't expect her to pay me back or give me free day care for the two days that I work but I DO want some additional free days. Next week I need to work two additional half days. It would be nice if that were free of charge. I will tell her that I need those days BUT can't afford to pay her because of all the money we just spent for the ringworm. I will see what she says.

I am trying so hard to find someone else and am having no luck!

I went to another forum and ALL the ladies said that I should suck it up, ringworm is common and I shouldn't expect anything.

It's interesting how forums are just so very different. I like this one better:) You guys are at least a lot better at sympathizing with me by saying "I would be pissed" and validate my feelings rather than just telling me to suck it up.

Thanks ladies

if your boys got lets say meningitis from there would these other people feel the same, its pretty much the same thing, its her fault for bringing it into a house where there are other peoples kids and for not informing you in time to find a different sitter so she should compencate, simple as that

ringworm is common? i dont wanna jinx myself by ive never know ne one or had it myself. i think i would die knowing there was a worm in my skin

I had ringworm when I was in the 4th grade.
I'm not sure how "common" it actually is, but I wouldn't tell you to suck it up, for the simple fact that you're having to pay all of this extra money out of your pocket because of something that she did. It was obviously an accident, but why should they tell you to suck it up. Tell them to send you 60 dollars and then you'll be perfectly fine!

I would watch your kids for you for free, they're little cutie pies!

Good luck finding a better place for your kids to stay... I'm not so sure I'd trust her around my kids with her kind of judgment, either!

I love ya all!! Someone else on that other forum stuck up for me and basically said the same things you said then others followed.

I thought ringworm was a worm, too. I guess it's not a worm but a funky fungus that has the appearance of a worm.

I am looking like crazy for another place. I will continue the search and let you guys know what I come up with. Any ideas on how to search? I usually go craigslist but haven't had extreme luck with them lately. Hardly anyone uses the phone book anymore. I work about 45 min away, so I can't ask people I work with...they wouldn't know.

I know if you go to the YMCA in our town they will give you a list of local daycare providers and such. Maybe if you have a YMCA in your town you could call them and see if they do that where you live! I really hope you find some place new. I don't think I'd feel comfortable with that lady watching my children!

Good idea. I completely forgot about those types of options. There is a list in Idaho that has licensed daycare facilities. A lot of those people don't advertise off of Craigslist. I will start looking through that tonight!!!
Thanks much!
