My daughter is hooked on pacifiers! She can not let them go! I mean she is 3 so I don't know if it's too long but no one else at her daycare her age uses them. She has to have one when she sleeps, when she's watching tv, when she's playing games. Basically the only time she isn't using one is when she's eating. I blame myself, she refused to use one when she was teething so I had to put a little sugar on it so she would put it in her mouth. I tried everything! I tried freezing it, giving it to her before food, basically everything it says in the baby books. I only did it a handful of times until she got used to the feeling. Now she won't let go. I read something about hanging it on a tree and telling them the "binky fairy" is going to take it to another little boy or girl. Guess that's next.

So I'm not quite sure what to do about my daycare situation. My daughter loves it and she has opened up so much! She is usually so shy but she is a social butterfly there! Anyway, the teachers are good with the kids but they are mean to the parents. Whenever I come in to pick her up or drop her off they are always talking trash about one of the families or coming up with flat out lies. I don't even want to think about what they say about me behind my back. I could get over it if it was just that, but there's more. They confronted one of the moms about it. This wild accusation that she was being a negligent mother! My daughter lost one of her friends because they immediately pulled her out. That's not the worst part, they are putting these ideas into these kids heads. They talk about it right in front of them and talk about how "mommy was probably being bad last night". It's ridiculous and I think I might have to pull her. I have tried three other daycares and she stresses out around too many people. This is the only place she can relax and being herself. I'm really torn.
