Daycare Blasts Parents: ‘Get Off Your Phone!’
Employees at a Houston, Texas, daycare want parents to get off their phones and pay attention to their kids, so they posted a sign.
The sign read: “You are picking up your child! GET OFF YOUR PHONE!!!! Your child is happy to see you! Are you not happy to see your child?? We have seen children trying to hand their parents their work they completed and the parent is on the phone. We have heard a child say ‘Mommy, mommy, mommy…” and the parent is paying more attention to their phone than their own child. It is appalling. Get off your phone!!’
A parent took a photo of the sign and posted it on social media. It has gone viral.
One parent wasn’t happy about the sign and said: ‘Could it be that you’re self employed, dealing with clients, sorting out problems???? But no I’ll put down the phone, lose clients and the bills won’t get paid!!!!! You can look at the kids work when you get home!!!! Jeez some people are a special kind of stupid!!!!!’
Others took issue with the way the message was relayed, with some calling it rude.
