Yup, another human bit him. I bet you thought I was going to say something about the dog snapping at him. Nope, a person.
It turns out, our daycare provider has a rule that the bitee's family does not get to know who the biter is. When Lyndsie told me that, my immediate reaction was, "what, do they think we are going to retaliate against a two year old?"
The sad truth is, someone out there would do exactly that.
Parents of the world, how about we agree to one thing: let's treat our kids and each other with respect? Accountability and discipline are, of course, necessary but let's keep the whole vibe supportive of one another. We're in a little club here parents, let's stand together and not make things harder on each other by forcing daycares to set up rules that prevent the flow of information.
Loyal readers - what rules have you gotten frustrated with in the past? Leave your thoughts in the comments below!
I get it, but sometimes I try to step back and think "What would that change if I knew who it was?" For me, at this point, it's nothing. It's not like Baby E is going to avoid so-and-so so he doesn't get bitten/sick/etc. anymore! :) Childcare is hard - nobody will ever do things as good as Mom and Dad, but we do what we can! - Linds
