Worst pick up lines

[madmom]

My all time favorite was when I let the Mom know that her son kicked at me she said "yeah he does that" guess he's doing that in another daycare now. Best decision I ever made

One of my 13 month old daycare kids got a bump on his forehead this week. He was playing peek a boo around the corner and loved it when we pretended to catch him. He was having a great time and slipped during his getaway and landed forehead first.

I felt bad, apologized to mom and explained what happened and she said it was no issue because he seems to bump his head a lot even at home.

Then...the next night pick up she greets her son and says "And No bruises today" in a joking way/declaration.

She probably meant it to be funny but I didn't like it because it almost seems like it was still on her mind and holding it against me.

I hate injuries, I hate telling the parents about them but I also think falls will happen to every toddler.

This ones for morning drop off and it drives me nuts "she didn't want to come here today at all" or "we asked her if she wanted to go to daycare today..she said no" why even tell me this? Also this is the same DKG that never wants to leave at the end of the day..

That's one of the questions you don't ask a kid, as it implies that they have a choice in the matter, which they do not. It's not fair to the kid, as they will assume that they get to say home if they say no, and it's not fair to you to dump an upset child first thing in the morning.

Also just rude, would you say "yeah I was really hoping she'd stay home today" when they came for drop off?

I have found that the parents who make comments like this are the ones who feel guilty for working and leaving them with a dcp. It makes them feel better to "think" that their child only has fun with them. It's not fair to the child or dcp though! Obviously a child would prefer to be with their parents but there is nothing wrong with having to go to work and allowing your child to develop relationships with others.

My thoughts exactly! Thanks!!

Honestly, depending on the parent, I would probably respond with a "Charming!" in my lovely English accent lmao I have had a little guy 2 1/2 say he doesn't want to come in and stand at the door in a huff. I just responded with a "tough, this isn't a choice, so come in please", and I took him by his hand and gently brought him inside. Its an attention thing that I know better than to buy into and his mother hasn't said anything in response to this but if any parent did, I'd politly tell them that they would be doing both of themselves a favour by discouraging the notion that this is even a choice. Some people just don't get it......
