Her and her husband are both well-paid executives. Who knows why they chose daycare instead - it's a very personal decision!</p> <p>@ladyfingers: He had a nanny for his child, and talked about how much better it was than sending his LO to daycare. To each their own, but don't put down someone else's choice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-cant-believe-my-ears#post-281861 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 15:20:28 +0000 Mrsbells 281861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>wow. some people are just too much. There should be a cure for stupidity by now </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-cant-believe-my-ears#post-281845 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 15:12:27 +0000 PrincessBaby 281845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, what a jackhole. I think that we'll be doing the nanny thing at least for a little while to avoid LO being at daycare right off the bat, but I am VERY sensitive to the fact that a nanny is just not a possibility for a lot of people, and I would NEVER put that guilt on someone....He has to know that nannies are really expensive, and that should make him extremely aware that her situation may not financially allow for a nanny. What a turd! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-cant-believe-my-ears#post-281836 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 15:08:43 +0000 ladyfingers 281836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What an asshole. I bet he changes his tune when he sees how expensive nannies are. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-cant-believe-my-ears#post-281835 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 15:08:42 +0000 sorrycharlie 281835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>poor woman :/ I hate when people speak before thinking. or even speak after thinking, if it's a bad thing to say. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-cant-believe-my-ears#post-281784 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 14:31:32 +0000 Mrs. Pen 281784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh my gosh how awful!! Hard enough for a new mama leaving her babe for the first time.. More than likely they couldn't afford a FT nanny!! </p> <p>Ugh insane. I would totally stop by her desk and tell her she's a strong amazing mom!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-cant-believe-my-ears#post-281756 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 14:13:42 +0000 yoursilverlining 281756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As a mom who also back from maternity leave today, what the f$&amp;@!!!!! There are many benefits to daycare; maybe one of which being you learn to play nice with others and not be a giant douchebag like that guy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-cant-believe-my-ears#post-281668 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 13:33:41 +0000 pinkcupcake 281668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, what an a-hole. He deserves a punch in the face. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-cant-believe-my-ears#post-281663 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 13:31:30 +0000 birdofafeather 281663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>rude! i think guys just don't know when to shut their mouths! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-cant-believe-my-ears#post-281604 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 13:08:24 +0000 luckypenny 281604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gross.

If we lash out then we're just a B. :P</p> <p>Next time he opens his trap I would totally butt in if only to make this new mom feel better! Ugh. Idiot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-cant-believe-my-ears#post-281531 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 12:41:21 +0000 T.H.O.U. 281531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow! I would check in on her when she gets back and maybe drop off a piece of chocolate! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-cant-believe-my-ears#post-281485 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 12:18:24 +0000 daniellemybelle 281485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you for confirming how awful this was! She just headed out to check on her LO on her lunch break and I said, "I'm sure she is doing so great! She'll be like, Hey Mom! I'm having a great time!"</p> <p>@BabyBoecksMom: He does actually have kids, is the thing. Some people just don't think.</p> <p>@MamaMoose: She sends her LO to a very well regarded, pricy daycare. I'm sure she made a very informed decision that was right for her. I found it very condescending for him to talk to her like that - she knows what she's doing with her own kid, dude! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-cant-believe-my-ears#post-281466 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 12:07:51 +0000 autumnlove 281466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is horrible! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-cant-believe-my-ears#post-281443 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 11:47:41 +0000 MamaMoose 281443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is absurd!! I hate people who act like that!! And as a fellow Nashvillian I'm pretty sure there aren't too many crap day cares around here! I'll tell you what I'd rather leave my kids with the wonderful people at our day care than this this dude that's for sure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-cant-believe-my-ears#post-281429 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 11:40:34 +0000 mrsjyw 281429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@daniellemybelle: W T F A$$HOLE. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-cant-believe-my-ears#post-281426 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 11:39:06 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 281426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>:( wow poor lady! I think I would have either gotten super sad and cried...or super angry and attacked him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-cant-believe-my-ears#post-281418 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 11:34:09 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 281418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Guys just don't understand! Especially ones that don't even have kids yet. Your poor coworker :-( I would have wanted to say something, too, or at least take her out to lunch or something. That's absolutely the last thing you want to hear on your first day back... or period! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-cant-believe-my-ears#post-281409 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 11:29:41 +0000 daniellemybelle 281409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One of my colleagues just came back from maternity leave today. I had actually not met her yet because I started after she left. She is very nice, though she seems a bit uneasy today as would be expected. Of course, I asked to see a lot of baby pictures and cooed over them, but other than that I haven't said a lot to her about her LO.</p> <p>Just now, this male coworker walks up to her desk and starts asking about her baby. She tells him what daycare she's sending her LO to, and he starts into how he will only ever have his kids at home with a nanny for the first year. He goes on and on about how daycares don't give the same one-on-one attention, that they get babies sick, etc. She sat there very politely and didn't say much, but I can only imagine how she feels as a new mama who JUST dropped her LO off at daycare!</p> <p>I am just seething. I wanted to chime in, "I've heard that is an AMAZING daycare," even though I don't know anything about it and obviously I was not apart of the conversation at all. I just can't believe someone would be so rude! </p>
