"daddy hit me"

Dont forget gcj: along with MANY other "ways" of raising children, some people "spank" as a form of punishment when raising their children. Unless you bring this up at "first meeting" and rule out, parents who raise their kids "different" from your beliefs, you do have to "put up" with it. I guess you don't have to "like" it, but you do have to respect their choice of child rearing or you will have problems in the future. Could you handle witnessing one of your parents spanking their child? If you can't handle it or don't agree with it...you may want to reconsider taking care of that child. What will you do or how will you feel if later on the parents threatens poor behavior with a "spanking" when they get home? Are you going to worry sick about the child all night? Just a thought.
When meeting parents for the first time that is a BIG question. "Do you spank your child or will you consider spanking when your child is old enough?" I feel you should attempt to keep "like minded" parents (as yourself) in you Day Care. Less problems in the future.
