Oh yeah I agree.....she said it's a shock in a way because this provider thinks shes god's gift and after the mom bringing up issues/concerns dcp "laughed me off"! Mom did tell me she is going to give 2 weeks notice (per contract) but wants to get moving ASAP to get her kids out. kwim?

From what mom told me the dcp has 4 school aged + 4 her own school aged and one 2yr old.
Mom's kids are a 5 & the 2yr old. Dcp sends all the kids outside to play in the yard while shes inside reading a book, napping, talking on the phone etc. 2yr old comes home each day with a new cut, bruise, bump from the older children beeing too rough and dcp doesn't know how any of it happened. The 5yr is now starting to tell mom what happens during the day. Mom's 2nd biggest worry is that starting Sept all but her 2yr old will be in school and the 2yr old will be home alone with the dcp all day.
