Announcing termination

[mimi]

Is this coming out of the blue for the mom or is she aware of the difficulties you have been having with her daughter? I think if she doesn't see this coming I would very briefly tell her I could no longer care for her child and the details are in the letter. Then I would tell her to call/email you with any concerns.

yeah... well that was pretty much when I said to myself ok, i'm done... She is here today and i have no patience with her... its so hard because Ill my girls are great talkers and listeners.... and she is NOT!
She is a very sweet girl... but I don't feel like pulling all my hair out

You are absolutely doing the right thing. If having this girl in your home is making you miserable, it is difficult to provide great care for other children - believe me, I know! I only lasted a week though - good for you for persisting, but it is not worth dreading each and every day! Just know that you are doing the right thing for yourself, your family, the other children in your care and even the child that is not the right fit for your dayhome!

I had a boy 4yrs old claw (literally) my face off cause i had to carry him from the bus stop to my backyard cause he refused to come........as i carried this 40lb boy the entire way home he clawed my face thank god my babies were sleeping at this time i was bleeding and was so upset......i found myself even after that incident feeling bad for the boy i learned a hard lesson......it continued he would swear, kick me, punch me and more i hated my job i dreaded every day......finally i said enough is enough and terminated them (2 sibling as well whom i adored and were great kids ) Now when i look back I think what was i thinking, I would NEVER settle again.....i have 2 girl 1 is 11 months and the other i have had since she was 1 and shes now turning 2 in may and 1 after school boy who is a sweetheart, LOVING every moment now
