Parents online are getting heated after an anonymous daycare worker shared a major secret about the way they take care of certain kids — at the fault of their parents. In a confession in the Facebook group Post Secret, where people say things they feel like they can’t share anywhere else, this anonymous daycare provider explained what happens to little ones with rude parents. Usually, the Facebook group prides itself on being a place for acceptance, but in this case, the post started a complete sh*tstorm.

The anonymous poster sent in a confession through the mail, which was later posted in the Facebook group, Post Secrets.

Post Secrets is a Facebook group where people post their anonymous confessions. But this particular secret published on November 2 got thousands of people riled up. The post racked up over 1,000 comments and over 5,000 reactions, because the sender admitted to treating children based on how parents treat the daycare worker — meaning that if the parents aren’t pleasant to him or her, the worker is secretly in return rude to the kids as payback.

People immediately got angry and argued that just because a parent isn’t your favorite client that is no excuse to treat the child poorly.

Many users were furious, commenting that no matter how terrible a parent is, a child should never bear the brunt of his or her parents’ actions.

“How could you ever punish babies for the behavior of a parent?” one horrified person wrote.

“Find a new profession,” wrote another.

A different daycare worker also chimed in with a different perspective.

“Chances are they treat that kid shitty too,” the commenter reasoned.

And another provider agreed. Kids who have bad parents need a “safe haven” from other adults.

Some people felt things had gotten a little out of hand.

One person argued she felt like the daycare worker’s message was being misunderstood.

And another person reasoned that “childcare providers are very much people” too.

But at the end of the day, there is really no excuse to take out your frustrations on a kid.

Kids have the least amount of control when it comes to their parents, so teachers or other reasonable adults have a good opportunity to make a lasting impression. Sorry, daycare provider, this attitude has got to go.
