I struggled with almost exactly the same <a href="http://elevatedumbrella.blogspot.com/2006/12/bitch-that-stole-christmas.html">situation</a> this year, except that my MIL doesn't have other grandkids and my mom does have money. She just chooses not to throw it at my child for shits and giggles. Anyway, I made my MIL go through all the boxes and put half in our garage for future holidays. Yikes - I'm so bitchy!merseydoteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12805416415027353836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13856645.post-79195261595048060522007-01-01T21:02:00.000-06:002007-01-01T21:02:00.000-06:00Hausfrau, your MIL sounds 100% like mine.

Plus my kids love everything from MIL much more, because it's usually fun American stuff... and not boring German stuff. I don't send videotapes... Just pictures. ;)<br />We chat via webcam, that's video tape enough.<br /><br />Happy New Year,<br />German GirlUtehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16652604425012130772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13856645.post-78991887031045403522007-01-01T04:55:00.000-06:002007-01-01T04:55:00.000-06:00Sounds like Christmas this year was a hit.

I wish I could use the Santa card but my teenagers know differently and well that sucks. <br /><br />I understand your desire for the daycare to listen. It's hard. Especially when you're shelling out mad cash. I can't get over the price of daycare these days. How can anyone afford to pay that? You'd think with that kind of money coming in they could get a new supplier, huh?<br /><br />Happy New Year to the Hausfrau Haus!kimmykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15527009466610518600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13856645.post-39846705990434345052006-12-30T16:58:00.000-06:002006-12-30T16:58:00.000-06:00YOU GO GIRL!

Great reason to bail.<br /><br />When's Herr going to confront his mom about the present thing?

Here is an...If the care they are getting is good??? Here is an idea: Making decisions for your children is called parenting. Bobby and Susie don't get to decide if they are happy somewhere. Hausfrau is right on. So many people believe that daycare and school is the caregiver, provider and rule maker once the parent drops them off for the day. NO!!! Parents need to be involved every step of the way including what they put into their mouths.<br /> In this country everyone complains about our educational system not doing its job, well parents are part of the problem and yes this starts in day care and preschool. Children are the sole resposibility of their parents believe it or not and no it does not take a village to raise a child. It takes parents with a genuine interest in how their children will grow into adults. Frankly I know Hausfrau wants excellent care, not just good.<br /><br />LoriAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13856645.post-87049210729448129442006-12-29T18:43:00.000-06:002006-12-29T18:43:00.000-06:00It's not about the cereal.

Whether it's cereal or corporal punishment, your rules go, so long as they're within reason. If the daycare is too busy to get that, they're overloaded--- yet another reason to leave. <br /><br />I went to four different preschools, and I'm fine---- switching won't bother her. I know Ella well---- she'll jump into it all excited about all the new friends she'll make.The June Cleaver Diarieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16000497692322165970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13856645.post-66196580491496457342006-12-28T15:07:00.000-06:002006-12-28T15:07:00.000-06:00If the care they are getting is good, get over the...If the care they are getting is good, get over the cerel thing already.

Full time(although our son only goes 9-3).<br />The funny things is that each parent receives a check for $1800/year from the state which more than covers it.<br /><br />Don't be ignored but don't kill yourself over some cereal :-))<br /><br />AdAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
