Today was MUCH better!!! When I arrived, ALL the babies were on the floor playing!!! And the teacher that I've had problems with was even on the floor holding Xander in her lap!! She even said "I'm down here to protect him from all the bigger kids!" because a majority of the babies are actually crawling or walking and Xander's still not mobile. And then she chatted with me about his day and was really pleasant, so I'm soooooo relieved!!! Maybe yesterday was just a fluke!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-ugh-they-did-it-again/page/2#post-1158073 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 08:06:37 +0000 LuLu Mom 1158073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: I agree, if they realized you were doing something "against the norm" I would think they would let you know as a heads up and let you decide from there! I would just tell them in your meeting that if they have any comments or concerns you hope they let you know so you can make an informed decision! We are first time moms, we don't always know :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-ugh-they-did-it-again/page/2#post-1158048 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 07:54:21 +0000 Adira 1158048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: Yeah, I'm worried about that too. But I'm hoping that once he's actually eating regularly at daycare like all the other babies, this issue might go away. My main issues with this teacher all deal with food, so I think once Xander's caught up to the others, hopefully I'll have less issues with her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-ugh-they-did-it-again/page/2#post-1158037 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 07:51:53 +0000 littlek 1158037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: It sounds like, unfortunately, it might be a rough go until Xander moves to the next classroom. I'm sorry friend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-ugh-they-did-it-again/page/2#post-1158010 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 07:37:28 +0000 Adira 1158010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: Yes, I'm very happy with the center in general! It's JUST this one teacher. And until recently, she had very little interaction with Xander anyway because he's an Infant 1 and she's in charge of the Infant 2s. But since they let go the main Infant 1 teacher, now all the teachers in the room deal with all the kids together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-ugh-they-did-it-again/page/2#post-1158004 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 07:35:55 +0000 littlek 1158004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: Ugh, that's frustrating. Are you happy with the center in general? Is it just this teacher? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-ugh-they-did-it-again/page/2#post-1157996 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 07:32:50 +0000 Adira 1157996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Just while he's in the Infant room. When he moves to the Toddler 1 room, he'll have a different teacher and won't have any interaction with this person. But I'm guessing he'll probably be in this room at least until he's ~15 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-ugh-they-did-it-again/page/2#post-1157990 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 07:30:37 +0000 mrbee 1157990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: Will she always be Xander's primary caregiver at that daycare? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-ugh-they-did-it-again/page/2#post-1157983 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 07:25:55 +0000 Adira 1157983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Well, we didn't get along anyway, so... hahaha. We have very different views about things (she was pushing me to start solids at 3 months and told me breast milk wasn't enough and also insists that the very breathable A&amp;A blanket I brought in for Xander isn't good to use just because it's so big and she'd rather use the smaller but NOT breathable blanket I provided, even though Xander likes to put the blankets over his face). So I doubt we'll ever really get along, but I just want her to treat Xander well - I don't care if she hates me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-ugh-they-did-it-again/page/2#post-1157969 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 07:12:15 +0000 mrbee 1157969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: It will be tricky to rebuild the relationship after talking to her director, but I definitely think it's possible! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-ugh-they-did-it-again/page/2#post-1157966 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 07:10:16 +0000 Adira 1157966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Yeah, I was originally thinking of speaking to the director, but that was in the middle of me raging, haha. Now that I've cooled down, I definitely agree that talking to the teacher directly will probably yield better results! At least, I hope so! If not, I'm not sure what I'll do... I really like this daycare and the director - it's just this one teacher that I have issues with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-ugh-they-did-it-again/page/2#post-1157955 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 06:59:15 +0000 mrbee 1157955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would suggest your idea about having him seated at the table, but one seat apart from other kids.</p> <p>I wouldn't go to the director over this, as I think it's important to give teachers a chance to deal with feedback directly But if the teacher continued to do strange things, I would consider just changing daycares. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-ugh-they-did-it-again/page/2#post-1157941 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 06:48:36 +0000 Adira 1157941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: Thank you!! I'm hoping that maybe yesterday was a fluke. Xander's a hard baby to treat badly because he's sooooooooo sweet and I know one of the teachers seems to really love him, so it's hard for me to believe that he was just left on the floor by himself all alone for any long period of time! At least, that's my hope!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-ugh-they-did-it-again/page/2#post-1157933 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 06:42:20 +0000 mediagirl 1157933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: I'm so sorry you're dealing with this. I just want to give you a great big hug. It's hard enough leaving our babies with someone who isn't US, but then to worry about them all day. :( I'll be thinking about you and hope this is resolved soon. Hugs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-ugh-they-did-it-again/page/2#post-1157916 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 06:26:48 +0000 Adira 1157916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: Right, he's only 7 months and there were empty seats at the table. When I was there the other day, I did see that he was reaching for puffs that were placed in front of the kid next to him, but he could have easily just be seated one seat away from the kids eating puffs or something. There's no reason to isolate him like this!</p> <p>I think if I arrive today and he's isolated, I'll speak up to the teacher first and ask why he's being singled out like this and then express my wishes for him to be kept in the group even though he's not eating with them. And if that doesn't work, THEN I'll talk to the director about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-ugh-they-did-it-again/page/2#post-1157298 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 20:22:11 +0000 mediagirl 1157298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's weird. He's only 7 months, right? It's not like he's even old enough to ask for puffs so it wouldn't have been a problem for him to sit there, even if he wasn't eating... There was an empty seat, right? </p> <p>When M moved to the 1's room, I noticed she sat by herself in a little high chair while the rest of the kids sat at the big table. I asked about it once and was told they rotate the kids through that chair... Till I saw it many more times. I was getting angry and finally came at lunch one day and said something. Apparently they were sitting her there because she likes to get up while eating and wouldn't stay seated at the big table. Ooops. Once they got another, younger child in the room, she was moved to the big table and now the youngest in the room sits off on her own. She looked pitiful, too and I was sad but I got the point after asking. </p> <p>I hope this is something like that.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-ugh-they-did-it-again/page/2#post-1157256 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 20:13:10 +0000 pregnantbee 1157256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: Un-freakin-acceptable. I wish there were somewhere else you could go :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-ugh-they-did-it-again/page/2#post-1157154 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 19:58:52 +0000 Adira 1157154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: Yeah, I have no idea. I'll have to see what's going on tomorrow. Hopefully this was just a fluke or I'm mistaken or something! But if tomorrow is more of the same, there's going to be hell to pay! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-ugh-they-did-it-again/page/2#post-1156991 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 19:36:09 +0000 swedishfish 1156991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: poor Xander! What a jerk this teacher is. Maybe she can be switched to another classroom? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-ugh-they-did-it-again/page/2#post-1156968 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 19:33:04 +0000 Adira 1156968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: He wasn't crying - just sitting there alone, looking pathetic. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-ugh-they-did-it-again/page/2#post-1156919 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 19:21:32 +0000 Smurfette 1156919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: Was he crying? Or just sitting there by himself? Poor thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-ugh-they-did-it-again/page/2#post-1156905 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 19:18:36 +0000 Adira 1156905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: I'm really hoping that I'm mistaken and that maybe the other teacher had JUST been playing with him right before I arrived! But if tomorrow's more of the same, you can be damn sure I'll be bringing it up to the director! Ain't no way someone's going to single out MY kid and isolate him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-ugh-they-did-it-again/page/2#post-1156868 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 19:13:21 +0000 yin 1156868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Great progress on the food front but so disappointing to hear that he was left alone while the other kids ate. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-ugh-they-did-it-again/page/2#post-1156842 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 19:09:26 +0000 Smurfette 1156842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: I would be calling the director first thing in the morning! That is so wrong. </p>
