    I hope your daughter is feeling better. What a nasty thing to do. The grin would make me go mad actually!

    "It has been nice meeting your family and [Child]. I'm sorry to say that I feel we are not a good match/fit to continue on for daycare. I feel that another daycare would be more suitable to meet all your needs but I want to thank you for the opportunity."

    I think you are very polite with your words. I would definitely let her know what her daughter did and show her your daughters' bump. So she knows how problematic her child is! God help her new caregiver Poor woman

    Good that you are terminating them immediately. Ask her to bring the remaining sum she needs to pay. Don't say "bring the money or the planpen is mine" you can tell her that if she doesn't bring the money. )) I hope you charged her 2 weeks deposit before they started with you.

    Because all of you are so nice I'm ALMOST tempted to let out their names as a WARNING!!! but I wouldn't....

    You never know right? but I believe what works for some - doesn't work for others, so "IF" you do get her/them.........Good Luck!

    Wow...what a nasty situation! So glad you are terminating immediately! I would add into the letter that she owes you XX amount of unpaid fees which need to be paid immediately. That will make that part more official. So glad you got your carseat back...they are more expensive than playpens usually! You are going to be amazed how much more peaceful your life is next week without this family Stay strong and do what you gotta do We are all backing you!

    Let us know how it goes. Remember to stay professional at all times, no matter what she says/does. Good luck. Oh... and definitely tell her what her daughter did.

    Oh your poor little girl! Isn't it awful that this child has so much evil in her? I don't know any other way to put it, except that she's actually evil!

    You are definitely doing the right thing and I hope the Mom is a little less evil than her child, OMG! Good luck at 6pm.

    Sending vibes of strength and peaceful resolution for you!
    Children construct their own intelligence. The adult must provide activities and context, but most of all must be able to listen. Children need proof that adults believe in them. Their three great desires are to be listened to, to understand, and to demonstrate that they are exactly what we expect."

    Mom arrives and I suggested that she take the playpen to the car and come back for her daughter...I quickly dressed her up - she handed me the payment envelope - I handed her the diaperbag and said "there is a letter in there for you"....... and she walks away - Ahhhhh I chickened out!!!!!!! She was going down my driveway and I said "have a nice weekend" - she replies "yeah...(huff/chuckle) you too" in the most sarcastic tone e.v.e.r!

    I walk back inside, open the envelope and SHE SHORTED ME A DAY AGAIN!!!!!

    *****meaning she wanted to piss me off. This is right after we had the new contract & payment talk etc. She obviously wanted to cause an issue today*****

    I knew my gut was right, she was planning on screwing me over today...thankfully it wasn't a blank envelope [lesson learned, check payment total before they leave] anyways the joke is on her! I was one step ahead of the game :P

    my husband laughs saying "watch her not read the envelope and knocks on the door Monday morning...."
    my answer: "I"ll slam the door in her face!"

    I wonder if the mom is thinking the letter is about payment and it would so look good on her if she didn't read it and did show up on Monday. I am guessing with asking for the playpen for the weekend she wasn't planning on coming back so you beat her to it.

    Hope your daughter is feeling better. Enjoy next week and check out the window for all arrivals and just don't answer the door if it is her. If she calls or messages just remind her of the letter in the diaper bag.
