Hi there, I am new to the forum. I run a super casual daycare out of my home, and take care of mostly kids from my friends. I have a three year old girl, who is "best friends" with my daughter. Together they are VERY mischievous. Lately they have been fighting a lot. I have been stressed because of their behavior, and the weather has been awful. Today my friend messaged me and said that the child had a huge tantrum about coming today and will instead be going to her brothers DCP house and "did something happen". Needless to say I am pretty hurt. I feel like I have done something wrong by disciplining her daughter (they are VERY permissive), yesterday they did go into time out for ripping apart a box of wipes. She has "told" on me before, saying that I am "grumpy", "mad at her" which is not true, but I do stand my ground, dont give into them and they have consequences. She is more a parent who thinks their kids bad behavior is "cute". So upset ! I feel like I have been too harsh and now the kid hates me !
