    I wear yoga pants and sweat shirts every day. I don't wear makeup, either. This does not affect my ability to care for children in any way, shape or form, and anyone who thought that it did would be getting their notice.

    Who cares if you had your bathrobe on? How dare she comment??? If her children were unhappy with the way you care for her grandchild, he likely wouldn't be in your care. One has nothing to do with the other, and I think she was incredibly rude to question you. It's one thing to think something. It's quite another to question someone's attire when it's no business of yours.

    A nicer housecoat is what you need, add glitters to it! Geez

    well, that would be me, in housecoat answering my door. I answer the door pulling over a house coat over my nice Lulu's and tank top... I put one house coat in my front door to cover me, unless you want so see nice hot buns and toned biceps aka Paula Broadwell (LOL).

    Did I hear that yoga pants should be banned in school because it is too shape revealing?
    So, I cover myself that, one housecoat in the front door this winter season.

    Muslim women have nicer housecoats, long dress to cover whatever they are wearing at home before answering the door. Those are called abaya's, some plain black, some nicely embroidered with matching glitters. I should order one of these....? or let grandma roll her eyes on me?

    IN summer, I don't care. I am in shorts and tank tops, and running shoes. deal with it grandma, we are headed for fun stuff!

    however, it hurts a bit. dirty looks. but oh well................ .

    So, with reminders that we are professional, I am thinking of ordering a nice overcoat, long enough to cover me when I open the door. Or maybe one of those glittery well embroidered abaya. It normally open up in jiffy, it is called cloak...okay?



    I am normally hot, as we go up and down the stairs to basement, play bean bags, parachute games, follow the leader, hopping like a bunny.

    no, she can her opinion to herself. Your daycare kids are happy, and your outfit does not reflect about the care you provide.

    IA with the posters who said that she probably thought you spend all day in your bathrobe and don't do anything. She probably took it as a sign that you were lazing around and not doing anything all day.

    It would have bothered me too. I often have to grab a jacket or cardigan from the closet too during the day.

    I can understand her saying something.....maybe it was a judgement, maybe she was just surprised to see that, and I can understand why you were wearing it. However I just would have laughed it off explaining the circumstances that led you to be in a housecoat.

    I often shed a layer when the doorbell rings! This time off year, anyways. My warmest coziest sweaters aren't always door answering worthy

    Too bad you werent prepared for her comment, you could have shot back a little remark like...."that's what happens in a job like this, no time for myself...always giving, and taking care of others first." (smile) "hay, this way at least I don't have to worry about getting ready for bed later, can just go go go until I drop on the pillow" haha

A few tips...

Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
