Would you terminate

[suemaria]

i agree with terminating, if you are not getting any assistance from the parents at home to work with you on getting the children settled or behaviour guidance in place, then you are going to be always at a loss on this. and your life is going to be stressful and in disarray, not to mention your other families are going to take notice and therefore your business name jeapordized. its hard to do but be professional and thats all you can do. the children are not the issue, its parenting and parents ways of thinking. in my program, if we are not working together for the best interests of the children, then the parents know of it. some people you can talk to, some you cant, and thats where its rough. be firm with them, clear, strong. i think your reasons are valid. even give her a last chance, explain where you need to be with her, the children, why. if she doesnt respect you, the other families then try not to lose sleep over it, and chalk it up to something that doesn't work. good luck.
