This thread is timely...

I received a text two nights ago (at 7:30 pm) from a mother, "What happened to D's leg???" I said I didn't see anything happen to her, nor did she cry that I recall and asked why. She said that there was a huge cut on her thigh. I said I didn't know, and asked how bad it was. Mom didn't reply to my text for an hour. I was sweating bullets. I had changed her diaper about 45 minutes before she was picked up, and was by her side all day long. Nothing happened. Her mom made a big deal about it. I saw it the next day and it was a very minor scrape. I still don't know how it happened, but I am 99.99% sure it didn't happen on my watch. Her mother didn't notice until almost three hours after pickup, so I'm pretty sure the scrape wasn't bothering D either. Sigh. I felt like a child abuser. I was seriously sick to my stomach.

I am going to add to my contract too. You can never be too careful. I am learning all the time how important it is to select the right families for my home daycare. I don't care if I am without income in the future - the stress of dealing with the parents of these delicate little snowflakes is about ready to drive me up a wall. Sorry to thread hijack.
