Very upset parent...

and i did bring up things like being expected to have dcg ready for outside activities, amongst other things, and i think dcm really 'got it', which felt better than simply getting mad and terminating.

I'm glad you included this issue when you talked to the Mom. We have to make sure that the parents don't abuse us. We are busy women with important jobs and we're here to take care of ALL of the children. When parents expect extras or special attention for their child that's unfair. I'm really glad this worked out well for you and I bet you feel empowered and professional right now. Good for you!

thank you momof4! yes i do feel empowered, and more in control of myself and my business. you're absolutely right about making sure parents don't abuse us. that was one of several things that i brought up that's gone on with this dcm, and i feel respected and appreciated after our meeting. if only every issue of this nature could end so positively!
