When do you say enough is enough

I think Momof4 said it ~ not easy but how horrible to get up dreading your day.
This business can make you burn out fast - you know your limit and you should listen to it.
Giving someone their notice is not easy - good luck if that is the route you go (and don't feel bad about it if you do)

Oh she is burning me out fast!! I have never Had a child make me feel so stressed and upset as this girl makes me feel!!! I have to end it today with this family.

Sounds like you need to ~ your own sanity and everyone else in your daycare that has to listen to it and feel the stress that she causes.
Good luck tonight! It won't be easy as they might beg you since they did it once before but remember how your feeling right now and that will hopefully help you stick to your guns.

I have to stick to my guns tonight, oh yes they will most likely try and get me to change my mind just like they did last time.

I had a set of twins just like this, possibly worse if you can believe that. They swore at me and the other children constantly (they were 2.5)..they would scream until they threw up all over the place. They were violent to myself and the other children. They would self-mutilate (she would pull her hair out in clumps and bite herself) if they didn't get their own way. They beat up their mother on a regular basis and beat up each other. It was awful! They were the most exhausting children I have ever worked with. I lasted 6 months before I couldn't take it anymore. I can only imagine what they will be like in a few years...

My advice, terminate asap. You will not believe the difference in your daycare, the daycare kiddos and your mood. I was literally going to bed at 7pm on the days they were here just wiped! They've been gone a couple months now and things have changed so much. I can now stay up longer than my 6 year old haha, but I no longer feel the dread of getting up on their days, the constant tummy pain wondering who/what they would hurt break. I don't clock watch now like I used too, counting down literally the seconds until it was time for them to go home.

Lesson learned for me...I would NEVER wait as long as I did with those 2 again.

How did it go? I'm so sorry you feel so bad about this situation, but you are doing what is best if you know for sure you are at your breaking point and the parents will not help make it better. That's when I terminate too, when the parents are not helping to solve the problem. They are letting their poor little girl suffer because they won't parent her and teach her to become a lovely little person, really, really sad. They will definitely pay the price when she becomes a teenager.
