    how sad is this.

    i'm watching this whole fake drama about nametags and all i could think was greet each child, ask them what their name was, writing it down on an adhesive name tag, stick it on them, and DONE.

    not hard, folks!

    I "stole" my dog from a friend who couldn't care for him but when I said that to my vet she suddenly got really quiet and I had to explain that I didn't *actually* steal him. Apparently she has people come in all the time talking about how they stole their dog from somebody else.
    My college roommate did that - these people were mistreating their puppy terribly and she took it. In retrospect she should have just called the cops, because I am sure that those assholes just went and bought another dog to abuse.

    If I were a teenage girl, and some creepy guy was hovering around a car in a parking lot, loudly announcing his intentions to steal a dog, I'd think it was a set up to get me to come closer so that he could kidnap me. Seriously, isn't don't go with the man who says he found a hurt/lost puppy the first thing every little girl learns before she's allowed out on her own?

    I don't know why I'm defending, but I have two kids and I call them each other's name half the time. It's a trait I got from my mother; my whole life I've been Lynn-Allison (my sister is Lynn).

    Daycare Provider is right up there on my list of nightmare jobs. Being surrounded by diapers, poop, drool, children picking fights with each other, high-pitched squealing....I would last about five minutes, I'm sure. So I would believe that there is drama in that job.

    @Flackette Goes Retro: I did a lengthy stint at a daycare after high school, and it was pretty bad. Noisy, smelly, and since I spent a lot of time in The Toddler Room, sticky. But then I was sort of promoted to The Baby Room, and honestly, it was bliss. Except for the few times when every baby was wanting their bottle at the same time and it was a chorus of screaming. And of course there were those awesome babies that just. wouldn't. sleep. Even when their eyes were falling out from exhaustion. You'd put them in their crib and turn on their mobile and play soothing classical music and they'd scream like you were murdering them. Those times were blessedly few and far between, though.

    THIS CAN'T BE REAL. First of all, that daycare (set?) makes my son's daycare look like an outhouse - it's astonishingly new, clean, and well appointed. And both of the women featured here come off as terrible, terrible actors, as if they are thinking, "how can I act like a fish out of water in a daycare situation?" Can I just hope that it's some kind of parody/satire or humorous take on reality shows?

    @burnside13: I don't know about the realness of it, but I gathered that this IS a new daycare that they are trying to open. Hence the newness and cleanliness....

    This is all part of TLC's plot to shame mothers who go back to work after their children are born.

    Umm... In the coffee-shop scenario, all the guy had to do was to ask the thief "What's the dog's name?"

    She told him before she went inside...

    I can't even imagine how devastated I would be if someone even thought about taking either of my dogs. I just recently saw a sign up in my area of a missing Jack Russell that someone took when their owner was getting money out in a bank. There was a description from witnesses of what the people who took him looked like and all I could think was "so wait, they saw the people taking the dog and didn't do anything?". I might have a false sense of myself, but I feel like I would speak up. But I guess they just figured they were the owners. Sad world.

    Oh, Lord. As a former preschool aide, and the daughter of a preschool teacher/director, on one hand I am super sad about this, because it will do nothing to combat the disgustingly widespread beliefs that (a) there is no difference between daycare and preschool, and (b) preschool teachers are just glorified babysitters who don't do anything "important" and should be treated like servants...but on the other hand, I don't even have to watch the clip to know how ridiculously entertaining this will be.

    I have no idea how they're going to get drama out of "why don't we have nametags?" This show looks incredibly boring. I watched the whole Youtube clip and that was the longest 1:47 of my life.

    if you can't remember a kid's name (or anyone's name for that matter) can't you just, oh i don't know, ASK THEM THEIR NAME? it's not like the kids are going to deny them a raise or something.

    @hughman: I worked as a camp counselor and some kids will get upset if you forget their name. You always learn the names of the bad kids first, and the quiet ones are the ones you tend to forget. I just called everyone "Sweetie" or something like that if I couldn't think of their name.

    @mirandom: with kids, i just preface with the "it's not you, it's me" reason (which in my case would be true) and tell them upfront i'm just a flighty stoopid adult so it's not personal. kids seem to like when i admit i'm not pretending to be perfect. and yeah, i usually call everyone - kids and adults alike - "doll" for this very reason.

    Are you kidding me. This had to be free, because what parent would put their kid (1) with these two (2) on TV?
