[speaker001:] hey Patty uh we're supposed to talk about uh child care
[speaker002:] okay
[speaker001:] my children are all grown
[speaker002:] huh I don't have any no
[speaker001:] and you don't have any well some day you will and then then you'll be real selective about choosing a child care right
[speaker002:] um-hum um-hum yeah I worked at a child care center for about a week
[speaker001:] well you know all about them then well tell me about it
[speaker002:] yeah well that was all I could take not so much the kids as the children but because of the director
[speaker001:] oh those you didn't like the director yeah
[speaker002:] hum-um but um I had about ten children in a class and I just know they take a lot of energy
[speaker001:] uh-huh oh boy I bet it did
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] my wife worked at a child care quite a few years ago and she liked it all right when her
[speaker002:] huh how long did she work there
[speaker001:] oh I think she worked there about two years our
[speaker002:] gosh she must be very patient
[speaker001:] two or three years well we had small children at the time see so so uh it worked out pretty good she'd be there with some of them and
[speaker002:] uh-huh broke her in oh great
[speaker001:] and uh it worked out real good it was a church school where we we went to church there and uh she worked there
[speaker002:] good hm hm
[speaker001:] but uh I have uh all my children are grown now and they have their children in day care one one of them keeps her child with a with a relative though
[speaker002:] hm hm
[speaker001:] and uh but the other one has used a day care for her children
[speaker002:] um-hum um-hum
[speaker001:] and uh
[speaker002:] nice when you have relatives that can do that
[speaker001:] yeah they they uh her her husband's sister and she needs the money and and plus she you know she's close and gives him good care and
[speaker002:] um-hum it's does she have kids too or
[speaker001:] and she has kids too and he's just a baby but he does enjoy though she has twins and they're two or three years older than him but they
[speaker002:] um-hum hm
[speaker001:] all spoil him you know and he key likes it watching them play and everything but uh
[speaker002:] hm um-hum well even with um two teachers in my class with ten kids it was still quite a handful
[speaker001:] oh gosh I'm sure it was I wouldn't you couldn't pay me to work in one you know you got to like you just got to you know not mind children that much
[speaker002:] so  um-hum yep
[speaker001:] but uh
[speaker002:] because they try your patience you know not on purpose not on purpose but they just get into everything and
[speaker001:] yeah well of course that's just the way they are
[speaker002:] uh-huh running around and diaper changing
[speaker001:] yeah and when you don't have children of your own that's not a lot of fun is it well but you probably will some day reckon
[speaker002:] so um-hum right um yeah first I need to get married though first I need to get married uh-huh oh
[speaker001:] plenty huh well yeah but you got plenty of time to do that you sound pretty young but uh so I don't have a whole lot of experience with day care centers myself now either
[speaker002:] hm um-hum well this one was pretty good um
[speaker001:] was it in Dallas
[speaker002:] uh-huh North Dallas
[speaker001:] uh-huh uh-huh
[speaker002:] and since that the director was really really picky about kind of silly things you know nothing that really had to do with you know endangering the child or anything you know
[speaker001:] uh-huh uh-huh
[speaker002:] um like she didn't like the way I answered the phone or you know she didn't like this she didn't like that things that didn't have anything to do with the children so
[speaker001:] oh yeah uh-huh I thought it might have been something that the state required but that wouldn't
[speaker002:] um-hum no it just she had such high expectations about silly little things you know
[speaker001:] that wouldn't apply to that would it uh-huh that didn't make sense uh
[speaker002:] right so but I probably could've put up with you know the kids and all that but it
[speaker001:] yeah well and it those kind it probably didn't pay a whole lot either
[speaker002:] nope huh-uh nope
[speaker001:] so if it doesn't pay a whole lot it's hard to put up with a lot of
[speaker002:] right um-hum
[speaker001:] that Mickey Mouse stuff that's my other line but I no I'll just ignore it while
[speaker002:] you wanna grab it real quick or because it'll be recorded I guess
[speaker001:] yeah I'll just I'll just ignore it and if they want anything they'll in a little while
[speaker002:] okay hm
[speaker001:] and uh since we got
[speaker002:] so are you you said your kids have kids or
[speaker001:] yeah yeah I have four grandchildren
[speaker002:] uh-huh and they're happy with their day care centers or
[speaker001:] yeah well neither one of them have them in a day care center right now but uh um my my daughter that has has three sons she is a
[speaker002:] oh huh um-hum
[speaker001:] you still there aren't you
[speaker002:] um-hum um-hum
[speaker001:] I guess it was that thing hanging up uh she had him in one and was real happy with it and then got unhappy with it and then she moved him to another one and was just real happy with it it's in Garland
[speaker002:] uh-huh huh uh-huh
[speaker001:] so uh she had really I'd say she had pretty good experiences with them
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] oh oh yeah the one she the first one she quit they'd lost his medicine
[speaker002:] oh
[speaker001:] sent it home with another kid and it made her mad but I mean that's you know you got fifty kids there I could see that happening
[speaker002:] huh uh-huh um-hum yeah
[speaker001:] but you course you lose a fifty dollar bottle of medicine but it looks like somebody
[speaker002:] ooh you'd wanna be reimbursed at least
[speaker001:] well it looks like they would've whoever took it home would've brought it back
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] but anyway it made her real mad that's why she left it but other than that I mean it you know they'd been real good too so I'd I'd say she's had really you know real good experiences with them
[speaker002:] huh uh-huh that's good
[speaker001:] nothing no horror stories or you know of course they're regulated pretty strictly by the state
[speaker002:] um-hum um-hum yep
[speaker001:] and uh which is good
[speaker002:] yeah
