Mimi, that would be frustrating!! I have a few parents who have told me that their children are great at ___ and they think it's because they come here and I have taught them. It's nice to hear! However, one day a mom came to pick up and I said "wow, when did xxx start to walk?" and the look on mom's face almost broke my heart!! He apparently hadn't been walking until that day and had taken his first steps here!! Mom of course felt guilty for being a "working mom" and missing her baby's first steps. Now, if a parent comes to me and tells me excitedly that their child has done ____at home, I act surprised even if they have done it here already lol. Not every time but for the big things!!(I'm not going to downplay my great teaching skills all the time haha) It would be tough to know that your dcprovider is experiencing a lot of your child's "firsts" though.
BS...haha, I hear ya! I live in my yoga pants (that have never ever done a yoga pose) and old dccentre work shirts. When I put jeans on most of the parents ask if we are going somewhere that day LOL. There are times I wish I had a job again that forced me to get dressed and put make up on but than reality hits me and I realize that I don't miss that at all!! Tomorrow is pj day and I'm excited! Most of the parents tell me that they are jealous and wish they could wear their jammies to work
