Annoyed

Hello. I'm annoyed. I consider myself a pretty laid back mom (quit laughing Robin!). Let me set up the scenerio and see what you think......Elizabeth does not always drink full bottles at daycare. She will eat an entire jar of food and drink about half a bottle. Usually, the daycare tries repeatedly to feed her. She is also teething and had a rough weekend because of it. I told them this when I dropped her off. Also, she has Tylonel in her bag, always does ever since they had problems with her screaming and not calming down. Ok...heres what happened...Yesterday I dropped her off and explained that I had the stomach bug Monday and she has showed no signs of it but to keep an eye on her. My mom was going to pick her up. I also told them about the teething and to give her the Tylonel if she had trouble with it. I go to work and wasn't feeling well so I cancel my homebound so I could just go home and rest. Also called my mom so I could pick up Elizabeth. I get there and she is sitting in an exersaucer. They say that they almost called me but didn't because they thought my mom was coming and she comes early. She has not eaten. She ate her jar of food and her bottle at 815am. Since then (330 at this point) She had only had 2 oz. of milk. When I ask them what she had done, she hears me, looks at me, and immediately starts crying. I pulled out a bottle ash they explained that she would take a few swallows and turn away and cry. (and yet they gave her no tylonel!) As we are talking I fix a fresh bottle so I can try to feed her. She stops crying as soon as I give it to her. She does the crying bit and continues to eat. SHE'S TEETHING! It's EXPECTED that she HURTS! She also has a temp of 100.2. AND THEY DON"T GIVE HER TYLONEL! I wasn't all mad because she pulls the not eating bit all the time. I started getting annoyed when she proceeded to drink the entire bottle. Then when i get home, she drinks another full bottle! 12 oz total. My child was starving and they didn't realize it! This is when I got pissed. Especially because I told them she was having problems. I even told him she was pulling away from the bottle because of the teething. Right now I am kinda debating the merits of pulling her out of the daycare and putting her in the same one as my sister and brothers. Havn't really talked to Sam about this yet but really wanted to get someone elses opinion. Your thoughts? Am I over-reacting? I mean this is my child who was very hungry. They had the Tylonel, and the y had a phone. Am I right to be concerned or should I take a "chill pill?"

Grandma Matthews here..Please talk with the manager of the daycare. If you don't feel satisfied move her to the other daycare. I'm sorry you and Sam have been under the weather. Wished I was closer to help. I too have been worried that Miss E will catch your bug. Get me some more pictures soon please. Love and Kisses to all of you.
