Opinions on Presents

generally speaking any gift is wonderful because it really is the thought that counts, and the fact that the parent went out of their way on their own time and picked something out just for you, even if it is for the daycare, means they really do care about you. Now on the other hand, as much as I appreciate the thought, I did get a gift bag last year from one Mom, so excited when she handed it to me....opened it in front of her and.....two cans of Lysol!!!!!! I was like: "Wow, you shouldn't have! Thanks so much!" (fake smile) This particular mom is one I had a few issues with regarding sending her daughter when she was sick, and also had to have her pick her up early through the day on a few occasions due to flea bites and vomiting while in care. soooooo....I think her gift was pure sarchasm, wasn't sdure how to repeond to that one!

Yikes...I would take that as her pointing her finger at you that her child is getting sick while at your daycare or something. lol
I go through a lot of Lysol but I don't think that makes a nice present. Ouch !

Wow, that was incredibly rude of that "Lysol" parent. I don't know what I would have said either
