A mom at daycare grates me

[Deleted]

She whines all the fucking time. Our daycare had an inspection about three weeks ago, and everything went gravy. The only comment was the inspector would like all loose blankets removed in the infant room. Our teacher let us know (WEEKS AGO) and the daycare will pay for 50% of the price for whatever Halo sleeper or Merlin Sleepsuit you decide to buy for daycare if you don't already have an item available. WHICH IS A REALLY SWEET DEAL AND I WISH I KNEW THIS BEFORE I BOUGHT THAT GODDAMN FORTY DOLLAR SLEEPSUIT THAT IS APPARENTLY SEWN WITH SPUN GOLD.

This mom is fucking livid, you guys. She was trying to argue with the poor morning teacher about it, as if it was her decision. Apparently she was still packing a blanket in the baby bag she brings, and is upset that the teacher won't take it out for her baby to sleep with. Another parent with an older baby offered to give the mom her sleepsacks her son had grown out of, and the angry mom just kind of sputtered and said "I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT IS." You could read on the sane mom's expressions that she was considering explaining it to the loon, but realized this lady just wants to bitch so went back to playing possum with me and another mom in the doorway waiting to drop off the babies. 

This same lady tries to get her kid upset that she's leaving her every morning. How fucking weird is that? Most people try to dodge the crying bullet, and this lady is upset that her kid isn't pitching a fit. 

She's just a whiny whiner. Every time I've seen her she's just such a drama llama, and she always wants the other parent to join in with her and no one does and it is AWKWARD. I don't know how people like this function.

Me neither. Wouldn't it just be so much easier to drop the snatch act? People are weird. That is a pretty nice offer of the daycare.

is the room so cold that the kids actually need large blankets? wouldn't a better solution be to turn up the heat?

[ProfessorArtNerd]

Wow, that's a sweet deal! I just heard that the lady who watched Lucy as a baby now requires runny-nosed kids to bring in their own tissues :/ the fuck?

Tell me more about playing possum, I missed this story!

Thats so weird. It sounds like she thrives on drama. What are you gonna do? Those are the rules lady!

Mine is super warm but they still use blankets for naps in the infant room. Maybe for security? I forget DSs blanket all the time and they whip out a spare for him.

ETA and they aren't thick blankets. Usually like the cotton receiving blankets from target.

The room isn't cold. The blankets were more of a comfort thing than providing warmth.

Ugh, it's absolutely bizarre. The poor morning teacher kept on having to explain to the mom that she wouldn't go against the inspector's notes because it's important that the school stay in compliance.

I'd hate to know what that kid's home sleeping situation is. She's probably under a down comforter in a waterbed!

That tissue thing is batty. 

Lol, playing possum is just a way of phrasing playing dead, no real backstory. We just say it a lot around our home, fuckyourcouch and her H do too. Although, this would have been a great opportunity for me to make up a really good story.

how can you be the mom of an infant and not know what a sleep sack is? 

[textbookcase]

Is this the same mom who was complaining about sleeping babies being left in their carseat for a bit when they arrived at daycare? Loony.

No, that lady has an older kid in a different class. She's probably weirder than our class weirdo since she didn't corral her crazy to just the three year old class.

How bizarre! Especially trying to make her baby cry when she leaves! Wtf?!
