My stepson is five years old and when he asks the daycare lady if he can play outside, her answer is always no. There is no school right now so he is with her for 8 hours without any outside time. To me that is ridiculous. A child needs outside time. She also claims to teach sign language. My stepson said, «what’s that» when I asked him if he has learned any. If there is an issue between the divorced parents, she doesn’t know how to stay neutral. She will choose a side. Because my husband’s ex wife hates me, the daycare lady also does not like me. She is not professional and has even gotten into arguments in front of my stepson. How do I know this? On my way to pick him up I heard yelling as I was walking to the door. I stood outside listening to see how long it would go on.(about 10 minutes) The daycare lady even goes so far as to call the«mother» and let her know when I pick up her son, not that I mind, but on my husband’s days. So what if I woke him up from a nap. He is too old to be taking naps. I’m sorry, as you can tell I’m fed up with this entire situation. I’m only the step mom so I have to remain neutral no matter what. I can’t wait until we take him out. She appears sweet, but if you are in a situation like mine, good luck. We do not want him there anymore, however we cannot take him out until we find another daycare. Believe me, we are working on that as best as we can.
