Monday, the day after my step kids went back to their mom's, she calls and says their youngest daughter(2) has a huge bruise on her butt/leg area and that the daughter told her the daycare teacher did it. when we got them back on Wedneaday, I asked if her teacher had spanked her and she said "yes" I said where and she said "my hand" and showed me then when I asked why she did that, her response was "because I hit her hand first". ok. so then at bed time as I lay her down to sleep she tells me "I have a bruise on my butt" I said "I know where did that come from?" she replies with "(insert step dad's name here) did it." I ask why, she says "I was being bad, I didn't get in my carseat in my mommy's truck". I told her I was sorry she got hurt and gave her a kiss goodnight, then went downstairs and shared this story with her dad. the next morning, Thursday, my SO asked his daughter about her bruise(while I was not in the room but within hearing distance) and he was told THE EXACT same story. On Thursday, I took a picture of the bruise at the end of the day (picture shown) and the bruise is definitely obvious and still there today. we have plans to ask the daycare teacher about it and are just wondering what our options are as to what we can do to document this. any mama's been through this?? we are in Washington State
Good luck! what a horrible situation. poor bub
yes we definitely want to document this. she's a state funded daycare worker and I doubt she would actually physically punish any of the children at her facility as she has always had amazing reviews and has been in the business for years and is practically a grandma and the only worker at the daycare. we already have intentions on discussing this with the teacher on Monday. @showersoverflowers
if a daycare teacher ever struck my child, I would be watching them walk out the door even if it was just on the hand. as for the other spanking, I would be calling cps. if she was spanked with that much force that it left a long lasting bruise, they should hear about it
I hate my generation sometimes ?
Today was my nieces baby shower, which went great. She got so much which amazing since she's been working 2 jobs trying to save up for the unpaid leave she'll have to take from work. Anyways I was talking to one of the ladies there since my son and her daughter were playing together. I asked her what her daughters name was, she said it was Layla. I told her that's a really pretty name and asked her if she was a Clapton fan and if she was named after the song. Th...
Dad's FB Video!!
Did anyone see that video a dad posted on his daughters FB page? He saw a post she made where she bashed her parents and cursed them, called them lazy and told them they should pay her for stuff she did around the house... So he called her out on it and put the video on her page!! Sorry if I missed a post already about this already, but I just saw the video and IT WAS AWESOME!!! Hahahhaa!
I haven't been on in a while because of family issues. But I have to get this off my chest. We are currently under CPS investigation before of a lie my sd told. She had a bruise on her leg from a fall at her graduation farm, but when she was asked about at school by a teacher she said her dad beat her with a belt. That is completely untrue. Her dad would never put his hands on her or any of the other kids like that. When I asked her why she said it, thinking that maybe she was talking about her...
What's wrong with a Bumbo?
I am visiting my in-laws for Mothers Day and I brought my daughters Bumbo along for the trip. Well my in-laws just thought it was the coolest thing. DH's cousin is pregnant and her mom asks her, "did you see the baby's Bumbo chair?" and she snaps "yes!", and her mom asks "do you want one for the baby?" and she goes "NO! I will never use one of those for my child!" and then no one said anything else about it.
