I had a little girl take her first steps here. I told mom she was really, really close. Sure enough she took a few steps that night at home. Mom didn't need to know she did it here first.

That's all well and good Rachael, but as a parent if I change my mind I would expect you to honor that. You have no idea why I may not want my child's photo out there anymore.. and you don't need to...

You could say no to the Thursday, too.

You can and should do a new contract. In response to the email, attach the new contract and tell them it will need to be signed and returned before the next day of care.

With that, change and...

Since you know they are being rude I would simply reply with "No." If they ask what you are doing now, tell them you are running a home based business providing child care.

A day old lunch. Have you never fed or eaten leftovers?

Accidents happen in daycare. Neither of those are reportable and would be a waste of someone's time. I'm not sure about the 16 year old...

Wow, judge much OP?

Personally, I prefer to work so parents can work or go to school. I don't mind part of a day here and there, mind you. I do require that pick up happen before or after nap...

As DCG whines and cries, and dad folds her into a big hug "Poor princess, I'm sorry I left you here."

I said "OH??? Maybe that isn't the message you want to give her..."

I would just clarify as well. She may have thought that since buses weren't running the kids who walk wouldn't go either.

That isn't at all how I read it. I saw it as what it apparently was.. a thank you. I'm not sure why that would then bring up the fact that someone left and came back?

Why can't a thank you be...

Re-reading these I don't see these as plugs. One is a thank you, nothing wrong with that. Another is a question.

A "plug" would be "hey have you seen this website?" Thanking someone or asking a...

Why? The information Judy has to share has helped people. What's lame about getting that out there? Unless it's merely a money thing which would be a shame.

I serve mostly water. It's always available. If someone isn't drinking I remind them, and will pull them out of something to have a few sips. I flavor it with fruit, too. Or I'll make fruit cubes...

Honestly I've never given it a second thought. Food is rarely brought in here but I've never turned it away. I serve store bought and home made. Parents are putting their kids in someone else's...

Mom should have brought food for today. My answer would have had to have been "sorry, I can't accommodate that especially on short notice." If she intends to carry on with this, I would have her...

Maybe the mom feels awkward for asking? I know I would!

I doubt he will get through the 2 weeks either. Mom and Dad don't get it, so the kid won't either.

Next time he bites, completely exclude him from the group. Give the parents a very short time...

I have to agree with this.

If this type of care is required then take them to someone offering special needs care, with someone who is trained for it. If this child is truly transgender then...

Right, the no money route.

YOU put your child through what they have gone through. YOU failed to protect your child from a provider you claim was abusive. Can you include yourself in your claim?...

I cannot fathom leaving a child in a situation where they are treated as you say. So you would owe money.. so what? Take him out anyway and fight the fees.

You won't get anywhere suing this...
