@clintpj I mean this is just a troll like argument at this point so have a nice day.

@clintpj I feel like comparing your internet service provider to the people who care for your child(ren) for a large portion of the week is a bit of an apples to oranges comparison.

@waka My job 100% is what brings me mental stimulation during the day. I genuinely enjoy my job like 80% of the time. Of course there's days where I'd rather just sleep in and do nothing. But overall, I wouldn't choose to quit my job even if it was feasible financially unless I had SO much...

@stevensmith9 I don’t give $100. I give $50 gift cards to Target. But why is someone CHOOSING to give their daycare teachers egregious in any amount? It doesn’t affect you at all what any other parent gives. If you wanna give $0 great. If you wanna give $200, great.

@clintpj It's not a requirement. Just because others are feeling the need/want to give that much doesn't mean you have to. Nor does it make them crazy for wanting to.

@stevensmith9 I think anywhere from $25-$100 is normal at our daycare. “You’ve got to be kidding me”.. uhh why? My sons teachers love my son like their own for 40 hours a week so I get them a Christmas gift? Also.. I get a bonus for doing a "good job" at my job. Why shouldn't they?

@sweetmissyrose Our daycare doesn’t do it but from being on these subs recently it does seem pretty normal at plenty of them.

@tsjihoelang I’ve honestly never heard it called tipping as an American until this post lol. It’s a Christmas gift when we do it.

@katrina2017 They both made incorrect assumptions here. What most people are trying to say is they’re both wrong even if he’s a little more wrong. She very easily could have said “can you WFH today too to help me with the kids?” Instead she waited until he was walking out the door to just make a...

@larniavc I honestly think OP just worded it terribly. We get our kids teachers what we consider a Christmas gift. Not a tip lol

@worshipgod There are plenty of people that genuinely enjoy their jobs and wouldn’t just quit if they had the freedom. For some people it gives them a purpose. Why do you think billionaires like Taylor Swift still work? She definitely does not NEED to go on world tours or work endless hours in...

@karac Ew I hate that they tell you when you should bring gifts that are not a requirement. Whether I give you a card my kid drew or $500 it should be my choice what and when to gift.

@kezia I mean it sounds like this is a bigger issue than your initial question of basically who is right here. Sit down with him when you have time to actually go through what’s bothering you and why WITHOUT the passive aggressive faces. If needed maybe a therapist or counselor would help as a...

@whitm11 No. Your personal experience is just that. We have people of all ages and with/out kids that work crazy hours and others who don’t.

@kezia But how was waiting til it got to that point and making a face the right way to solve it? I think that’s the part you’re missing here. Sure he should have offered/asked. But you very easily also could have handled it better also. “Hey I see you’re getting ready for work. Remember the...

@pheadablessed And if it’s a mommy vlog it means you’re exploiting your kids.

@kezia So did you expect your husband to effectively take the day off so you could work today and never say that? I struggle to understand your end game here. Both of you WFH wouldn’t change the fact that FOR TODAY they’d still need to largely fend for themselves so you could both work. And if...

@kezia I mean some of this is you effectively communicating with your husband and some is also effectively communicating with your kids. Yes they are far old enough to be told they need to entertain themselves while you are actively working and that you’ll catch up with them next when you have a...

@kezia It sounds like no one communicated. Parent A expected Parent B to KNOW they needed help that day without explicitly saying anything and parent B probably should have followed up knowing the change in schedule. This very easily could have been solved by a simple convo from EITHER parent.

@katie_indy Would the center not be up front about that to parents? It seems like gifts are the norm now and cash is a popular option, so if there were rules wouldn't they communicate them?
