I left my house at 7:15 this morning...its 11:11pm now and I just got home...YAY me!
I got really angry yesterday at the class I went to for my daycare job. This woman, who has a master's degree in something or another, reduced all problems children have to their parents. We have one little boy who constantly hits and scratches and she said its because his mom isn't around him enough. His mom is a single parent who is a manager of a MacDonald's, working 70+ hours a week to afford to take care of her child...spending nearly $200 a week to send him to our daycare (plus however much she has to pay for weekend daycare). Would she like to stay at home with her child instead of working her ass off at Micky-Dees...I would say yes. Am I saying she has no responsibility for her son's actions, no. However, I am saying that this woman at the class had a lot of nerve to say that because she is a single parent doing the best that she can to take care of her child, she is a bad parent. Well lady, not everyone can be lucky enough to have a loving partner who makes enough money to let you stay home and do nothing but dote on your child all day. I would much rather see this little boy 10 hours a day and be the best example I can be for him than have his parents be together and have both of them living in some kind of hell everyday! To top it all off...this teacher person also thinks 97% of children have ADHD and need medication... ANYWAY...what I am really trying to say...I want those two hours of my life back...oh...and I hope that the teacher person goes and shoves a light bulb up her butt and it breaks.
