I don't want to be unrealistic...but I'm pulling my daughter out of her day care...

I'm glad that you talked to her and, hopefully, things will be better.

today I got there to pick my daughter up and ms. brenda pulled me aside and thanked me again for calling her on this. she said she feels so good about her decisions to change the way some things were done and she can't thank me enough for my phone call. she said she appreciates me being comfortable enough to bring it to her attention...where some parents may not be...and would just never come back...and then the problem never gets solved.

i appreciated her pulling me aside like that...it meant a lot.

Glad it turned out for you

That's great. You did the right thing, which took courage. Most people would have just pulled their child out, disrupting the child and chancing a worse situation.

Maybe Ms. Brenda can give a brief lesson to the children on why smoking is bad and
that they've decided to stop.

wow i would think it would be against the law to smoke on property of a daycare.

Hope it continues to get better and better

Yes Toodles how are things?

What they should of done was have a designated smoking area for there workers that do smoke, i am a smoker and we do have rights to smoke, even thou there getting limited more and more these days, which i don't approve of, but anyways, when she first took her child to this daycare didn't she notice that the employees were smoking?? and the child has been there for awhile, she should of said something months ago instead of letting it go if it bothered her that much. i have a soon to be one year old, and like i said my husband and i both smoke, we smoke in our basement when were at home in the winter time and we smoke outside in the summer time, i try to keep the smoke away from my son, but my mother and father also smoke they have smoke eaters at the house, and they smoke in there house its' there house and there is nothing i can do about it, but i'm not keeping there grandson away from them cause they do smoke, and yes my son will see me smoking when he gets older, it's just me i tried to quit 4-5 times and i was the most miserable person you would ever want to be around. it's just me and i can't change that right now, maybe one day i'll try to quit again, but i guess it's better for my son to see me smoke than be an alcoholic or a drug addict, i could be worse but Thank God im not.

Well then my wish for you for 2008 is that you find a way to help you stop smoking.
I did it about 15 years ago and it was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do!
