Mom refuses to continue driving her coworker home after she made her 20 minutes late for picking up her 7-year-old son from after school care: ‘The daycare charged me a $25 late fee’

If there’s one thing I hate, it’s tardiness. I’m not talking about someone being late once, but rather chronic lateness that persists without resolution. I know that every time I hang out with one friend that shall remain nameless, the train is not running 20 minutes behind, despite their claims. They chose to leave when …

Mom demands daycare teacher holds her 13-month-old during naptime every day, balks when teacher says that’s not possible: ‘This was the 7th place she toured and that no daycare around here can provide adequate care for her son’

While you can choose a center that has small classroom sizes if you can afford/find it, your child isn’t going to get the one-on-one attention that they would get with a babysitter or nanny. Daycares also must adhere to specific …

I had a potty mouth when I was a kid, and to be honest, I’ve still got one. I come from a family of swearers, and when I was in the 6th grade, I watched all 15 South Park seasons (at the time) on my unsupervised laptop. The latter turned me into an expert in …
