I am livid. Absolutely livid and just about ready to hire Dog the Bounty Hunter. Okay, yes I know his line of work does not involve tracking down two year olds but this is how angry I am today. Tess moved into the Toddler Room at daycare on Monday. If you recall, yesterday was Wednesday, so day 3 in said toddler room. Tess has been attacked on the face for the past 3 days by the same kid. Apparently there is a 2 year old in this world and he has a grudge he has decided to express on my daughter’s face. YES! Her FACE! I am so pissed. Her entire right cheek is clawed to hell. Last night I spent my evening in Urgent Care with a starving 1 year old who didn’t want to cooperate with the doctor. Why Urgent Care, because yesterday the little bastard scratched her eyeball…and drew blood.
After several tantrums, because she was starving and we had to wait for freaking ever, we spend approximately 15 minutes with the P.A.; get our prescription and make a bee-line to McDonalds…sounds smooth right? Well, during the hour wait to get to see the P.A. I watched as everyone who came in after us leave before us. Yep, if you sniffled, sneezed, coughed or wheezed they slapped you with one of those protective little masks and moved you to the front of the line. You know, because you weren’t sick all day/week and couldn’t wait one more day to go into the clinic. No, you have to clog up the Urgent Care line so they can tell you to go home, sleep, get plenty of fluids and buy yourself some over the counter relief. And because you did this I’m left with a screaming baby in the waiting room. Am I being a selfish martyr? Probably. It’s just so frustrating to see the waste of time for the hospital all because you don’t want to be confined by the order of appointments and doctor offices.
I’m at my wits end and feeling the need to take out a two year old. I won’t, because I know some day Tess will be the one beating up someone else’s kid. But I know that I will feel like shit every time I sign off on that incident report, and a piece of me only hopes that this kid’s mom feels that way too.

That's nuts? Question...why do they have her in the toddler room already? No wonder the poor thing gets beat up! And with that..why do they continue to let the "bully" stay in daycare. I know kids do bad stuff to eachother. Brayden went through a biting phase, not to be mean, it was just aggression. But three times...thats just ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteYeah..where do hospitals rate? You would think first come first serve..right? I guess they know what constitutes for a "true" emergency. Been there...Ali fell about 10 feet through our railing when she was 11 months old. And they took their sweet time..I was the one urging to get her a MRI, CT scan. What a joke!
Anyways I hope Tess is ok..they always survive. Its just sad when its your own little princess. And they are so helpless. Someday she will slug a kid and get her revenge!
