    Thanks so much ladies. It's so nice to know that there are others who can offer perspective with this! It's odd to me that I can tell every other parent all of this stuff without the slightest apprehension that they will be upset, but I know that this is constantly an issue for this one mom. On leaving today she asked me to set up a meeting with her via email so that we could discuss this, then hubby called saying he'd spoken to his wife and now was asking me to explain my side of our discussion today. (???) Explained the same thing to him as politely as possible and told him how this made me feel (he;s the drop-off person and is not very "in the know" about dcb, generally). His reply was something to the effect that since they were quite technically my "employers" that I should want them to be happy with my services. Insert jaw-drop here.

    Notice in writing will be ready to go tomorrow morning.... That's about where I draw the line. I will wish them the best of luck while my heart breaks to think of how hard it's going to be for the little guy to adjust again. Sometimes it works out, sometimes not so much.

    I'm now seeing signs from over the last several months that should have told me something was off... General disrespect for my home, counting kids in care when we've never exceeded, instructions on how to diaper him (that one was a shocker). Gotta work on listening to that gut! Thanks again ladies. Really appreciate the feedback.
