Starting to feel at home...
Announcing termination
Ok, its probably not listed in the right place... But Oh well!
I have decided that I am done being nice and I will terminate one of the family tonight...
I'm termination letter is printed out, in an envelope by the door ready to go. In the letter it explane pretty well why I am terminating this family.... But should I say something as I am handing the letter to the mom at pick up tonight?
This is the first time I am terminating someone... and I am very nervous about this........! But her daughter is too much to handle and the mom is a pain in my behind so I decided to do it so I can stay sane a little longer

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.

oh, she has been aware for weeks and weeks... they have had 3 verbal notice, 3 written notice that their daughter's behaviour is not acceptable. they were also 2 hours late one Friday night 3weeks ago..... and they were 1 hour late the day I had to take the plane for my holiday... ( I called 5 times before they picked up that time)..... So I took my holidays, though about it and decided I was done with them being late, not dressing her up for the weather ( she rarely have winter suit... and when she does its -20 and she expecting me to go outside with my 16 MO baby...) Her daughter is 4... she dosen't talk, dosen't listen to the rules, still suck her fingers........ holds her breath when she is upset and she covered my washroom in poop twice in the past 3 months............ Yup, I'm done!

You have more patience than I do, I would have terminated on the spot the day she made you late for the airport, it's one thing for being late but not being contactable for an hour. What if it were an emergency, that would have made my blood boil.

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!
