Oh hon - that is one of the hardest parts of our role - we are so use to being 'caregivers' and putting others first and meeting everyone's needs that it REALLY stings when it is not reciprocal for us and sadly for many clients they view it as a business service like the Hairdresser or Plumber and it is not 'big deal' if they are pregnant while looking for service and so forth ... and well 'legally' they are not required to disclose it to anyone anyway.

However from our perspective we are considering not only the impact on our income but the GROUP when choosing new client so a 'short term' client might not be the optimal choice and had we known we might not have chosen them ... transitioning in a child for 'short term' care is challenging specially depending on the AGE of the child the impact on the other kids of getting use to little Johnny and boom now he is gone and along comes someone 'new' again ... I know when I am seeking an INFANT client I am seeking a LONG TERM one cause it takes a lot of work and so yes i would feel betrayed and cheated if they signed on an infant and knew it was not going to be long term .... but the reality is that the only 'guarantee' we have with any client is the two weeks notice period we require

So disappointed or not if they paid on time, respected my contract and policy and so forth I would not turf them solely for being pregnant and not having 'shared' that because they were under no obligation to tell me and I would be concerned that if I DID terminate with the pregnancy as the only reason they would have a Human Rights case against me ... however if there were OTHER issues that warranted termination than I would definitely focus on that and leave the pregnancy out of the equation .... not providing you with the proper resources to supply care to their child would be a big one for me - if an infant showed up to care without diapers, wipes, bottles or food as required they would not ENTER into the program they would be sent away at the door to go bring what is NEEDED to provide care for the child.
