Need More Advice. Would This Bother You?

Thanks everyone

What did you say to them? "due to a buncha little stuff, I'm tossing you"? That's what I basically feel like I have to say to them at this point.

I am resurrecting this thread, because I am having the DAY FROM HELL with the siblings today. I actually cried this morning, it was that awful. My other dcb even said to me, "why don't you tell their mom that they can't come here any more?". He's FIVE lol.

We've had four separate incidents just this morning. In the course of these incidents, dcb has

-hit a 19 mo in the back of the head with a toy
-kicked me in the stomach
-screamed in my face
-grabbed his baby sister around the waist and tackled her to the ground
-yelled NO several times at me
-refused to come in from outdoor play

I am ripping my hair out here. I have an interview on Monday morning with a family who are looking for full time care for their two kids (school age), and if I like them and they like me, I am terminating. This morning, mom said again that she had no idea why he acts like this with me, because he's never tried to hit her or kick her. I've seen him hit AND kick her at pick up. So, there's also that...

Kick me in the butt, fellow dcp's! I have to let this family go, and I am so chicken to do it.

Holy crap, that is not GREY AREAS, that is violence and according to my contract, grounds for immediate termination without any problems. I had problems terminating my problem family because it wasn't anything as cut and dried as blatant violence. Oh Alphagetti, I hope you have terminated by now!
