One of the reasons I stopped writing daily journals was because it was one thing for parents to hear verbally about their child's day but another to read it in writing and almost all of the issues I had with parents were over something that had been written in the journal. Sorry but not every day is a wonderful one from a daycare perspective and if all you want to know about is the menu and the story we read you can read that off the wall by the door.

It is always our fault there is a problem with a child never the child or parent or at least that is how they think. Even when they say they are working with us it isn't always with us in the way that is helpful.

Anytime you give the hint that you would let them go I can see why they might just say ok well then maybe we should just go on our terms and timings instead since that will be easier for us and not leave us in the lurch. Not sure that I have ever said to the parents that the child is on thin ground as far as staying but I sure have thought it or told my husband I was loosing it as far as that child was concerned.
