What would you do?

I actually confronted a mom last year about her attitude and her expectations. I told her that I had to terminate care, as I was not able to meet her needs, and that maybe she might do better with a nanny situation. It was not a minute later that she called me, and apologized, and literally begged me to keep her daughter in my care. From then on in, she was soooooo nice to me, even to the point of after we moved away, sending us a housewarming gift in the mail. Sometimes communication is key in these situations, and once they realize how they're coming across, and how ridiculous some of the things are that they are asking of us, they are jolted into acting like normal respectable human beings.
