My fault ?

I used to work in daycare centres and weekly is the standard. I just stayed with that. By the time Friday rolls around, the toys are well goobed up again. If 143 passes and we have to follow DNA, everyone should prepare themselves for the likelihood of having to disinfect weekly. It's really not a big deal...takes a couple hours. I like the way it smells afterwards too

Lucky!! The centre's I worked in, we had daily cleaning/disinfecting to do(a new room/area each night) and at the last centre I worked at, I had the closing shift. It sucked lol. I agree, I like the smell!

I don't think the passing of 143 will make a difference. Only the sections pertaining to hdcp's will apply to us, just like currently only the part of the DNA that are applicable to us are specified. Also if Bill 143 is passed it will no longer be the DNA so will likely have totally different sections and rules for both centre care and dcp's

Ew 5LM! Every day! That's a lot! I used to cringe at the once per week in daycare centres, just because of the sheer size. Here in my little corner of the world, I don't mind a bit. My parents are grateful and our illness rate (this nasty beast of a cold aside) has been pretty low, despite the fact that I take kids when they're sick too (within reason). But doing that every night at closing would just make life not worth living, lol!

haha agreed!! We did areas each night so that it wasn't a big clean all at once. Unfortunately though, that was always a duty for the closing people

I have a ton of toys but they aren't all out at once so even if I HAD to do it each day, it would take less than hour. When I'm cleaning with just soap and water the kids like to help too.

I never clean upstairs. I do things like dishes and laundry but my fiance does all the "hard work", mopping, sweeping, the bathrooms. I really can't complain! He will even do the downstairs bathroom and vacuming if he's in the mood!

Nice !!!! Fiancé ? I have had to do the work 'training' mine lol !!!! Now my dh is a major help !!!! I think the only toys I have neglected are the big Lego !! So tonight I will do those !
Today I've scrubbed downstairs and re-organized and changed my set up . I will leave the bleaching until I'm closed !
Guess what I'm doing tonight ? Lol

Help would be lovely....I'm salivating at the notion! Sadly, Awesome New Guy is still maintaining BF status, so no regular housework. I have to say though, I do enjoy it when he tries to impress me with jobs around the house on the weekends! Next on the agenda - ikea shelves all over my garage and wine racks in my storage area under the stairs. Gonna have a wine cellar! Oh yes

Really ??? Nice !!!!!! I would like a wine cellar too !!!

Ugggh I have one of those parents here too.
Constant snidey remarks about their child being sick again - same family who has no backup care so I understand the frustration.
Like the others though, I disinfect weekly (run all toys through the dishwasher and lysol wipe all toys that I can't) and I have said to her "I sanitize and colds and sicknesses happen which is why I don't charge for sick days so people will leave their sick children at home, there is only so much that I can do, I am just as frustrated as you are about this" and it seems to quiet her down.

Fiance (may as well say dh, we have been engaged almost 3 years lol) is a janitor so he's just used to cleaning Actually, even at bf status he did the major cleaning. I am NOT and never have been a fan of cleaning. I used to have a friend who would get sick of my dusty apartment and would come and clean for me hahaha. I keep things tidy but only clean when necessary. It's bad!!! I have a few friends who do all the cooking and cleaning in their relationship and I can't say that I envy them. I really did luck out in finding mine haha.

My garage was turned into a "man cave" and a daycare storage area last summer. A wine cellar would be lovely though!!

The 'wine cellar' is actually only going to be a few tall Ikea wine racks in the little storage area under my stairs. Anyone living in a townhouse will know the space I mean. Not nearly as impressive as it sounds, but I'm gonna have a LOTTA wine in it! Woo hoo!
