Just catching up. I had all sorts of comments, but they're gone now. I've got severe Friday brain melt. Luckily, H just brought me 2 boxes of candy. I'm just going to go OD on sugar now. Randomly, is anyone going to watch 20/20 tonight? It's the interview with the mom of one of the Columbine shooters. I want to watch, but I've been extra weepy lately.

That's horrible budders and really not professional on her part. Would you consider another day care at this point? I hope she realizes that she wasn't acting appropriately and apologizes next week. If not, I agree you need to talk to her if you plan to keep V there.
Guys. GUYS. My h just told me "I'll take the baby for a few hours tomorrow. You go get your nails done, get some tea, and spend some time on your own."
Guess who has a 10 am pedicure appointment?!?!
Ooookay, I know I asked you last week for your MIL, but now I want your H too. Like not for life, just for a minute, to come give my people some lessons or something...

I'm not at the point where I feel like we need to pull him from there. Like I said, I'm not concerned for his safety or well-being, especially based on all of the feedback we have from other people whose kids are also there/have gone there. Even when she has expressed frustration this week, when we arrive she is always holding him and speaks lovingly to him when she says goodbye.
I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt that it was a shitty week, especially since I know that he was sick and much fussier than usual. Also, after speaking with H, it sounds like as he was getting there, the other kids were waking up and calling out for her and she was trying to manage a lot of things at once. Not an excuse to be so abrupt with us, but based on how I've been feeling at work recently, I'm trying to give her a little leniency. I'm hoping that the week off allows her to reset and come back with a better attitude. If not, we'll deal with it then.
Well I'm glad to hear that and I hope that things go back to normal after your week off.
WWJ15D: The funeral for my dad's friend is tomorrow. In the obit, it said that there would be a family lunch after, with a larger celebration of life in the spring, so I planned to have H stay home with V since I thought I would only be gone 2-3 hours.
My Dad just texted and said that we are actually invited to the family lunch after, which will be held at a restaurant near the church. Since I'll now be gone for 7-8 hours, I'm wondering if I should bring V, especially since I know people would like to see him at the lunch (and, more than anything, I don't want to try to find a time and place to pump during this whole thing). Would he be too disruptive at the service? Nobody will be upset with him making noise, but I want it to be about my dad's friend, not us. The church and restaurant are an hour away from my house, so too far to get him just for the second part.
What would you do?
I haven't made it all the way through the thread so I may be repeating what others said. For my dad's funeral 2 weeks ago I passed O off to my SIL (BILs wife) before the service. She took care if him and even took him over to the nursery to get him to take a nap. So he was with someone I trust and was well rested enough to be a light in everyone's day. Plus, something about holding a baby when you're grieving helps to make the world right. Maybe have your H come too and he can take V out if needed.
Plus, I did not want to have to worry about pumping because engorged boobs are no fun.
budders, hugs to you for dealing with all of this and I have to say that I am glad for your dcp that you are so understanding are are so good at putting yourself in someone else's shoes. The other ladies are right that it wasn't professional that she spoke to you like that but I'm glad you see that she's also human. Working with kids is so emotional that it can be heart wrenching and draining when things go poorly. Hopefully her emotions are coming from a place of love and hopefully the break will be good for everyone.
Mine is being very difficult right now. Woke up crying every hour since midnight tonight, and did it last night too. Teething & colds make for a cranky combination. budders I used to have a stuffed animal that made star light patterns on the ceiling for DS 1. V would probably love one of those. Sorry to hear about the sitting up and diarrhea.
LO is very difficult right now, too. Never before like this. She's Ina wonder weeks leap, plus teething. It's funny, this leap talks about how your baby gets jealous when you pay attention to others; H put his head in my lap yesterday so I could run my fingers through his hair and she kept head butting him, pulling his hair, poking him, and generally climbing and diving into my lap to get him off of me.
V just vomited phlegm all over my shirt and hair. At 4:30 am. If this kid ever goes back to sleep, I'm going back to bed with puke in my hair.
C did this last night, only he got my MIL instead of me. C has been super clingy the last few days, not sure if it's the age, a wonder week leap, or because poor guy doesn't feel well.

+1 to what everyone else has said concerning daycare budders . I completely understand the frustration you're feeling, especially with wanting to be able to stay home with him.
And +1 to my LO's sleep getting even worse than it was. H was working all Thursday's while A was sick and then he was MIA all yesterday while I was sick and halfway into the night dealing with some issues with his family. I am effing exhausted. I hope next week is a fresh start for everyone.
