Really random comment from dcp

[kidlove]

Too Funny! Too bad you couldn't have thought up a "smart-a**" comment like.......oh sorry, been so busy chasing after all the kids, didn't have time to take a break so I crapped my pants instead. ha ha !!!!! What in the world do you say to a comment like that?...Thanks?

Maybe you can get a really strong room spray and just before she walks in the door each day...give it a squirt. There, smell that!

Other Mummy: yes, she called it "poo" - I'm not a fan either. I did ask my sister in law who was also here yesterday and has been here multiple times the last 2 months if she noticed anything and she said she didn't.

And I have smelled it before, but it's been in the middle of the day, in my bathroom at the back of the house where I dump the diapers until I have a chance to bring them outside. The other thing is (and this is why I feel even more insulted) is that her kid is the only kid I have at the moment and as I'm usually pretty good to take out the garbage regularly, there's no reason my house should smell bad and if it does, it's definitely her kid's fault, lol.

Mamma Mia: what I did end up saying is "Oh...well he hasn't had a dirty diaper today so I don't know why it would smell like that..." Hopefully that made her feel a little foolish for saying what she did.

LittleFeet: I did wonder if she was pregnant when Mimi mentioned a keen sense of smell. If she is, she hasn't told me. I'm pregnant and I don't smell anything.

So this morning before she arrived, I spritzed febreeze on every piece of fabric I could find in my living room and kitchen - so there - haha. It's just so bizarre to me because a)she's been great otherwise and b)that's not something I would ever consider telling someone, especially someone I'm not actually close to and c) a & b don't make sense together to me. Anyway, thanks for all your input - it's good to know that I'm not being unreasonable feeling the way I do about it and since this morning's drop off was business as usual, I'll maybe try to forget it ever happened. Besides, it's my house, she doesn't have to live in it and her kid doesn't seem to notice or mind.

LOL, some people have no filter. I would have said "really???? Wow, it's almost like I run a home daycare or something. Gee... how in the world would my house smell like that... oh right... I have 4 kids in diapers all day.. that might do it. " LOL

That would have annoyed me too! I have a pregnant mom with a child in my care right now and she told both my husband and me that our garage smelled really bad the other day (my dcp's enter through my garage)...she was right...it was the day before garbage day and I have 4 kids in diapers here every day! My husband said I should have told her it's because of her kid's dirty diapers Other than that, I've never had anyone comment and I know it does sometimes smell if I have just changed someone...this is a daycare after all!
