She speaks the truth.
Also, you really just never know what parent is going to find out and freak over it. It takes all kinds of people, and when it comes to their kids, sometimes they get overly-worked up about certain situations. Suppose a parent or two finds out, and starts hollering that "the staff isn't watching my kid because they're too busy messing around" or something of that nature? Whether it's your career or not, it could lead to problems within the daycare center. Specifically, because it
is a business devoted to watching other peoples' kids, if these parents get one whiff of anything some might deem as "inappropriate behavior" among the staff, they'll go nuts. I might sound like I'm over-reacting here, but I've seen some parents go completely screaming crazy over the smallest things. Things that people like me, who wouldn't have kids if you paid me, wouldn't blink at, but it's a very different mindset for some people when they have kids.
You're 23. There are plenty of other girls out there. It's not like you're in my situation where potential dating partners are scarce due to my age. You are the perfect age to date pretty much wherever the hell you want to - so don't do this. And no matter what age you are, "don't shit where you eat". It's a hackneyed old saying, but it's true.
