    Sorry!! Misinformation! Yes, 2 months vacation, but I have it in my head that she's not coming back. She seems SO miserable! And her husband actually told me that he's excited to have some freedom. No doubt! lol

    Have you ever noticed on a parenting forum where someone calls their daycare provider their employee as if they are the boss? It seems to me that is the mentality of this parent. She is misinformed and if she wants an employee she needs a nanny. But we are business owners and enter into legal contracts to provide a very valuable service for income, but we make the rules and provide the service. And we deserve respect for all of our hard work and dedication.

    Yay for you for filling your space so quickly!

    Oh my word!! This lady sounds nuts! Be thankful you are finally done with her

    I am like you and would be royally pissed off too though. I know that I provide quality care so if someone told me to "do my job better", you can bet I would be seeing red!! I have had a few awkward conversations with parents in the past and thankfully was always able to keep my cool. I don't know what I would have done in this case!! I think I likely would have just hung up and texted her to call me when she had a chance to calm down and wanted to talk like a mature adult.

    It makes my minor complaints with past and current parents seem almost enjoyable! lol. That is great that you were able to find other clients!
