wmaharper I don't think you are overreacting. I think some parents, would rather blame the caretaker for their children's misbehaviors than to take responsibilty for it themselves. Weather it be because they don't want to admit that they are lacking as a parent, or they...

foxyfire33 I don't know what this woman's deal is but I think yo'll be better off not watching her child anymore. It sounds to me like she just wants to make you out to be the "bad guy" in this. She complained about the care he was recieving (and hinted about the money...

deebomb I too don't think that you are over reacting. If the woman is not satisfied with the way you care for her child then she should get someone else. In my opinon she was looking for an excuse to have her room mate care for the child. Too many people believe that...

ravinskye I don't think you are overreacting at all. I also watch a little boy at my house so i totally understand. I've had little problems also. His dad used to get upset because he kept getting hurt at my house. but then he saw how accident prone the kid is. plus...

mrrtomatoe I agree! That lady was out of place to say that to you. I heard about using hot sauce by more than one person, and although I wouldn't do it myself, it wasn't for her to make a comment like that. Besides she only sounds stupid by telling you that, if you...

copperkitten She had no right butting in and saying that. I would have told her to shut her mouth. My husband would have told me to keep my mouth shut. LOL. Not when it comes to the kids. I had them and I take care of them. I am the one who decides whats best for them. ME,...

livewyre This looks like a breakdown in communication to me as an outsider. First off, there are chili sauces that are certainly not appropriate to give a child - If we assume that the woman who interfered thought you were using an inappropriate measure, then we are...

mugglegirl Firstly I want to say well done on you for trying to stop your son from sucking his thumb. Kids who suck their thumbs go through all sorts of issues, from bad speech to bad teeth, so you are doing the good thing here. I would not use hot sauce either but it...

sid556 I don't blame you for being upset. I don't know much about breaking a thumb sucking habit but isn't there a medication that you buy over the counter that is pretty much the same idea as the hotsauce method? It makes the thumb taste horrible when it gets put in...

twoey68 Actually, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but that is considered child abuse today and your son can be taken away for doing that. I know that sounds crazy but having been a foster parent for the state I can tell you it is child abuse. So is breaking a...

Andrealoves7and8 You can raise your children the way you want to, just make sure that you are not screwing them up, and by that I mean, no verbal abuse (i.e. calling your own child a "brat" or words worse than that), no physical abuse (i.e. slapping them upside the head or...

kplcofak I agree with you. I am sick and tired of people like that. It seems to me that there are more people that are sick of "butt-inskys" than there are "butt-inskys". Why can't we band together and change where we are headed as a culture? It is just getting worse....

djmarion the problem with people is that they tend to meddle in someone elses affairs instead of just minding their own, i understand how you feel since on my case i also dont want people to meddle on my own life especially concerning my family.
