My daughter started an in home daycare the other day for the first time ever. She’s 2 & has been extremely excited about it & we’ve done a few tours. Her first day I thought went well until dad picked her up & she was in a daze. Happy to see him but rather emotionless otherwise. I asked dad how it went & he told me he wasn’t sure. The lady handed our daughter off to dad as to say, here. Take your kid. They’ve also never met & she didn’t even introduce herself! Dad said he really appreciated it as he was getting our daughter in the car. She said literally nothing. No updates on the day accept for that she gave kind of a hard time. When she got in the car she was STARVING. I’m talking the hungriest I have ever seen my daughter in her life. The first thing she said to dad in the car was thirsty! Hungry! Over & over & would cry. I chalked it up as just her being overwhelmed on the first day & not wanting to eat.

Until I got home changed her diaper & noticed a decent sized mark right on her upper thigh next to her private area. I immediately texted the lady in the morning asking for explanation. She didn’t contact me until 3 hours later saying she was busy when every other text was always answered in a timely fashion..

When I asked about the mark all she said was that she saw it & it looks like a finger nail mark. I thought it was possibly a burn from tearing her pull up off the wrong way. She did NOT have this mark before going to daycare. I feel the lady is trying to almost blame me for it? I know it happened there. And if she didn’t notice I understand one person can’t catch EVERY little moment but i know for a fact my daughter screamed when it happened. She screamed just from me changing her saying boo boo! Why was this never mentioned? She brushed it off like it was no big deal & thinks we’re coming back🙄 if it was an accident, fine. But the fact she can’t even tell me how it happened makes me worry. You don’t know what happened but think it’s a finger nail? Shouldn’t these things be reported regardless? This is her FIRST day too.

I’ve tried to tell myself I’m overreacting but my gut is telling me otherwise. What would you do!? There are just too many red flags to blame it on being the first day ..
