Bad Babysitter, Parents NEED to Know

On Monday September 1st, I was at the Zehrs on Lauzon Parkway and Tecumseh rd. When I seen this woman with these 2 children ( approx ages of 4 and 7). I was at the deli counter when she started screaming at these children and proceeded to lift the 4 year old up by one arm and drag her to the cart, picking her up and slamming her into the cart. She then grabbed the seven year old and was screaming and making a scene and pushed her against the cart. Now it is not my place to tell some one how to raise there children so i didnt say anything to her. But after she left I was told by the deli clerk that these were not her children and that she was only the babysitter. I then followed her around the store and more happened then what I have stated above but I would like to discuss the remainder with of this with the parents. Please everyone share this post and if the parents see it please comment and I will be in contact with you. My heart was broken and this woman needs to be stopped.

Update :

The original poster wanted to let everyone know of the following two things.

The lady was confronted and warned about the fact the police were being notified.
The police were notified and have the vehicle license plate number. They have enough information to confront the woman.

WRH Rude Nurses - MET

It was Labour day weekend and I was at the inside of the ER room lounge waiting to be call out by the nurses. A Security Guard went inside the ER and tried to be courteous by putting down extra chairs for patients to sit because there was a large volume of patients/ visitors. What a great idea right? NOPE!

These 2 nurses at the front desk started bashing on the guard, raised their voice, and asked "Who told you put the chairs there? Who gave you permission? What are you doing?". The guard said " No one did. I'm sorry, I didn't know you were using this space" and placed the chairs back. The nurses could of been more calm and professional about it by approaching the guard and informing not to put the chairs there. Instead of YELLING across their desk.

It's funny because they didn't even use the open space at all. Couple hours later, I was still waiting in the ER Lounge. The nurses or whoever it was placed chairs in the space anyways. All I'm trying to say is that the guard had good intentions. The nurses that put the guard down... YOU BEEN SPOTTED.

Closure of Our Lady of Assumption Parish - November 3, 2014

The Pastoral Council and church members at Our Lady of Assumption Parish are working hard to save this historic location as we just received notice that the church is expected to close in November 2014 due to an inability to pay for well-needed restorations. Whether you are Catholic or not, we need your support. Whether you live in Windsor or not, we need your support. Whether you think you can help or not, we need YOUR support! 

At this time, our team is working to have Windsor's "Huron Church" declared a BASILICA, to recognize the layers of significance in the area, including the community, spiritual, historical, and cultural aspects. This building is the oldest building West of Montreal and hundreds of parishioners attend every single mass. We have a thriving community and closure of this building is not an option. 

Please help us to spread the word by "liking" and "sharing" the Facebook page,

https:/ / www.facebook.com/ operationbasilica 

and send in your donations (whether those are through money, time and/ or thoughts and prayers)! We need all the help we can get!

"This isn't about saving a building, it is about saving the history, present and future of our community."

Shopping while brown

I thought it would be nice to take my 2 children and their grandparents to the Harrow fair today, since I hadn't been in well over 10 yrs. It was a nice day a bit hot but we had a nice time, had something to eat, got on a few rides and saw the horses. As we were about to leave I thought maybe we could take on last walk down the vendor aisle (at gate 2) and see if we couldn't find something we might like to get. Should have just left and left it as a good day. We stopped at the first tent, it was a big pink one right on the corner selling jewellery. I found this very cute turtle necklace with a baby turtle on the back so I bought it right away. As we walked to the other end my son found a key chain he liked, I told the lady that I would get it and walked over to where my stroller was that had my purse hanging on the back of it all the while my son still standing there until I got back to pay. Got some money walked back and paid the lady, at this point my son started to walk over to his Grandma to show her his new key chain. Now we could not have been the only people who were picking things up and looking etc. Actually these were the only 2 things that we touched and I bought both of them. So why did the vendor either across from this tent selling t-shirts or the tent next to it feel the need to watch us? As my son was walking away I was still standing there admiring an owl necklace when I heard her say to the guy "That boy has one of you key chains and he didn't pay for it" the guy replies "Where!". Curious to see if it was my son she was talking about I look to see who she is pointing at and sure enough it was my son. Before I could even say anything he was already yelling at my son saying "Hey whatta doing with that!". In that moment I have never been so enraged and I lost it, standing directly in front of the guy I yelled right back at him "Its been paid for!!!" Then I look at the lady who accused my son and told her she should mind her own business next time. The lady that I paid come over right away and told they guy "No no she paid", I walk over to my son take the key chain walk back to the booth and demand my money back, forgetting that I also bought the necklace from them too I ask my M-I-L to remove it for me and I take it back and demand my money back for that one too. This guy then turns himself into the victim and says "I don't know why you're taking this out on me for" I said "You yelled at my son and accused him of stealing!" I can understand vendors looking out for one another, but they both could of handled this differently first the other vendor could have said "I'm not sure if that boy paid or not but he has one of your key chains" or something like that not "that boy has one of you key chains and he didn't pay for it". He could and should have handled it differently as well for one he should have asked my son if he paid for it and secondly he should have asked the other worker if she was knew that he had paid for it. Like I mentioned earlier we could not have been the only people who were touching and picking things up to look at, but it's very hard for me not to believe that this woman targeted my son because he was brown. So to these 2 people I want to say this....SHAME ON YOU!!!.Neither one of you's apologized to my son once you found out that he DIDN'T steal anything. I had to explain to my 10 yr old son that yes sometimes you will face this type of racism in life but we cannot let these kinds of people defeat us and that not every non-brown/ black person is like this. If you could have heard the sadness in my son's voice on the way home it would have broke your heart, so I hope your happy with yourselves jobs well done.

Careless Drivers

To the women that was driving on the Central Avenue Ramp to get onto the expressway today. Thank you for endangering many lives that were on the road today, when you came to a dead stop on the on ramp, got of your car, and picked up a piece of paper. You were lucky you weren't hit. Not even two minutes later you were in the lane to go Eastbound on the expressway, and decided to turn right instead of left to go Westbound- again, almost hitting about 4 cars. Thank you for the almost heart attack, with almost seeing 2 potential car accidents. I think a review of the rules of the road is necessary.

SLOW DOWN!!

I was at my Mom's house yesterday visiting. We were sitting in her living room having a cup of tea when this car flew down the street. We both live in South Windsor, there is no reason to be driving that fast. We see it a lot in our neighborhood due to the fact that we are both close to Massey, Beware parents and students from Massey, MANY neighbors are going to take down plate numbers this year, we are fed up with your dangerous driving.

Mature drivers know what turn signals are for.

To the fellow driving the car with license plate BHMP-***, thanks a lot for not bothering to put on your turn signal before turning into Food Basics on Goyeau.

I waited to turn myself while travelling south on Goyeau while you were travelling North because since you didn't put on your turn signal, I thought you were going to go through.

And that big stupid grin on your big stupid face does NOT add to what you imagine to be your "charm".

If you want to be a happy go lucky halfwit that's fine with me, but leave the halfwit part to the dumb jokes you share and try to be a better driver please.
