    UPDATE!!....Okay so dad picked up which made the conversation that much easier as he has already said that little Johnny is only attached to her and while he co-sleeps occasionally, he rarely settles for him like he does for mum.

    He completely understood what I said and totally agreed that it wasn't fair on the other kids. He didn't take anything the wrong way and understood that this wasn't "bad behavior" but a much bigger problem that needed to be dealt with at home. He said that he thinks his wife will be completely devastated but that doesn't surprise me as she is neurotic to be honest and her response to her child's screaming all day is to breast feed him to calm him down....what can I say other than that I know a lot of people on here and elsewhere have told me to term immediately and that they wouldn't have put up with it for this long so to give them 2 weeks to try and improve things versus just a flat out 2 weeks notice of termination is a good deed I am doing for them and hopefully they will change some practices at home to promote and teach self soothing to do their part in trying to save their daycare spot. At this point I am happy with how I dealt with things and feel I have invested more than enough on my end in helping this child so the ball is in their court and the clock is a ticking!!

    Good job Bright Sparks, sounds like it couldn't have gone better! Hopefully mom is on board with making some changes.....and if not, that is fine too but she better start looking for dc!

    Would definitely be interested in what Mom has to say when you see her next.

    Glad it was dad at pick up. Maybe he can explain it to mom in a way that you're not allowed to e.g. "sally, stop doing what you're doing. You are setting our child up to fail. Plus I would like to not have a baby in our bed once in a while and actually have sex."
