It's Not Just Your Child Growing in That Daycare

These places suck. I put my daughter in one of them for a year so both Mommy and Daddy could work, and I hated it. Not to criticize one in particular, just daycares in general.

These places are like Petri dishes. I have to drop my daughter off so she can spend all day swapping spit and other fluids with these diseased children, so I have to cancel meetings and other work stuff so I can pick up my girl, take her to the doctor, and spend 3 days because they won’t take a sick kid back until they’ve had a CDC clearance.

We had it all…flus, colds, yeasts, roseaolia (or something like that) and the bubonic plague. In a year, my daughter had gotten nearly everything except the Ebola Virus (luckily, we were on vacation that week).

Make sure you find a daycare without TV/DVD combo’s mounted on the wall of the nursery. I don’t mean to be preachy, but children under 2 should not be watching television at all. I’m a preachy hypocrite, since I let my daughter watch a very small amount of football with me, but otherwise she hasn’t seen much TV at all.

It sucks to drive up and see the TV on in the nursery with bug eyed droolers letting their brains ooze out of their ears. It’s one of those fist pumping moments, however, when you see only your child ignoring the stupid talking sponge rather playing quietly with some actual toys. Who hoo! I’m not raising a zombie!!!
