One of Those Days

September 10, 2004 |

**Warning-This post of full of expletives today as I am in one pissed off mood. I need a place to rant and exorcise the fury and my blog is getting it today. So if you don’t want to read one of my most “colorful” posts ever then move on. If you love to read a good rant then

I’m having one of those crabby ass days where every other word you just want to swear at the world.

“Fuck you, and you and you and you”

Thank you I feel better already. One of the toughest things about having little kids at home all day and doing daycare in addition to that is when I get in one of these ranty pissed off moods it gets locked inside my head. I can’t exactly go around these children exclaiming

Fucking people! What is wrong with that motherfucking idiot??

So I realize that this is the only place I have to release this shit. Hey shit flows down hill right? LOL Child #1 in daycare is whiny and fussy today, because at 16 months old this child is unable to do anything but cry unless someone is right up her ass the whole time. Not her fault at all, entirely the responsibility of adults in her life but this child does not explore or engage in ANYTHING on her own. If you walk 5 steps from her side she screeches and shrieks bloody murder. She’s been coming here since she was 3 months old but at home the princesses feet do not touch the floor. 8 hours of this shit and there are fucking bald patches on my head where I’ve ripped my hair out. I’ve talked to mom about it and the answer is

“Oh I know but we can’t put her down, she cries” She is child #3 in the family.

Child #2 is miserable because he truly and wholeheartedly believes that his mommy does not love him or want him around because it is her day off from work and like every time she has a day off she dropped him here the second I opened my doors at 7am and she will not pick him up until I’m closing at 6pm. He begged and pleaded and cried to go with her and the fucking bitch said

“no…mommy has things she needs to get done with her friends (and their children…they’re all bringing their kids, just not her) and you can’t go”

Fast forward to 15 years from now when he’s arrested for robbing the 7-11 and she’s on camera saying

“I just don’t know where I went wrong. I tried so hard to be a good mother.”

Bullshit. This woman brings him here all day every fucking one of her days off so she can go home and watch goddamn Jerry Springer while the deep emotional scars are branded on her son and then bitches about how difficult he is for her. Duh??? Why should he make it easy - he doesn’t think you care about him???

And please don’t tell me how she needs a break and this is her taking her much needed time for herself because you obviously have never had a 4 year old sobbing on your shoulder

“Why can’t I go with her Jewie? Why doesn’t she want me to go? She no wuv me.” be sure to insert those gut wrenching, can’t-barely-breathe sobs in between each word with tears streaming down his little face.

If you did see that you’d want to bitch slap her or scratch her motherfucking eyes out. She is a prime example of the people that you shake your head at and say

“Why the fuck did she ever have kids?”

This is one of the reasons I’ve got to get out of daycare. I can’t stand by and watch people ruin their children like this and leave the wreckage here every day. It breaks my heart on a daily basis. Parents split up and do stupid fucking things like flipping off the parent they are divorcing while little Johnny is in the vehicle with them and says “There goes your fucking mother” and then wonder why their child is full of rage and confusion. Hello????

What I really need is to grab me a bottle of wine and go to bed but I’ve got 2 more hours of daycare and an interview tonight and a stepdaughter due to go in to labor anytime now. Fuckity fuck.

    Hi, I happened cruised around thur the blog till I found this. I agree with you about dropping the kids when Mommy is *busy* with her errands.

    My daughter, 20 used to work at Day Care and she said that it was the worst part… was… Mommies dropped their "Sick kid with bad colds, and coughs" at Day Care while Mommie go to shopping. Daughter and I felt bad for the kids being so sick and we believe that kids should be in their bed instead of Day Care’s mat.

    Keep Writing and I’ll stop by again.

    Take Care, Deb

    WOW! You need to get out of day care. I got out for the same exact reason. Run Run away before you start having issues with all children!!! It’s crazy.
    Take care and have a glass of wine for me!! HUG

    Oh Jules, I’m sorry you’re having a rough time. Sounds like it’s time for a change…. I know the feeling, though I’ve never had parents like that to deal with. My kids parents truly do love their children and are Christians but the mom has to work as her marriage just broke up. Long story.

    Oh Jules, you done made me proud girl. You are a most excellent f word user :hehe:

    Awful. And I understand why you’re so frustrated.
    Hope you have a nice relaxing weekend, sounds like you earned it.

    It’s women that drop their kids at daycare because they want to that make me so angry I could rip THEIR hair out. Those and the women who say "I work because I like my 6-figure salary and I want my children to have any and everything they want or need." Yeah, that X-Box is soooo much more important than a mother who participates…grrrrrrr

    We see it all the time at school too. We had a child who was home sick with an ear infection. Mom brought him back to school in the afternoon and he was still very sick. We asked him why he didn’t just stay home the rest of the day. He replied, "Mom was going to Bingo!" OMG! :angry:

    I cna totally relate to this. I used to be in the same spot you are in now, my mother and I still fight over the "why" I don’t open a daycare in my home now. It got to the point that I won’t even babysit casually now for a friend because it seems no one can return the favor…

    Good Luck with Job hunt. wishing you all the best!

    Julie, I don’t see how you handle daycare! For similiar reasons as that is why I got out. My big problem was people intentionally leaving their sick children with me and for TWO YEARS Jackson suffered! One parent actually had the gall to tell me "Well, your kid has a fever anyway, so it won’t hurt my sick kid to stay there too." BULL!

    I’m actually going to get back into it a little now, but the ones I keep will be closely screened. One is a friend’s baby and one will be my new little niece or nephew. That’s it, though, no more!

    I can totally understand why you can’t wait to get out - but then you also think about the positive role YOU play in those kids’ lives. I know those kids love you a lot - and appreciate you being their stand in Mommy while their real moms are busy being jerks!

    I don’t know how you do it Julie. It takes a certain kind of person to be able to take care of other people’s kids.

    I really don’t like that lady who left her kid with you on her day off work, that is horrible. And your right, when her son is screwed up down the road, she will wonder what she did wrong. Stupid lady!

    Hope you have a nice weekend! Did your stepdaughter have her baby yet?
