Great day UNTIL....

I think that is a horror that only another dcprovider can understand ((Shudder)).
Ugh.

That might have made me hyperventilate. Gross !!

I think the parents should ante up a little money to get your carpet professionally cleaned. Poor you! I would consider asking the parents to put their child in a snappy tee at least for nap time. Good luck and hope the wine helped

It's not even out yet ffs. I have wet vacced it and now I'm gonna have to get in their with a scrubbing brush and toothbrush to get in all the nucks and crannies in the burber.

I am pretty annoyed, but what can I do? If I was the parent I would have immediatly offered to pay for the carpet to be cleaned and offered apologies just to acknowledge how sorry I was that this happened and and that they had been left to clean it up. I am also knarked off that there is no way I can use my daycare room tomorrow. I'm gonna have to use some almighty powerful cleaners not just to get the stains out but to kill the bacteria too and I have two 12 month olds who are crawling so wouldn't be sanitary to have them in their for at least a 24 hour period.

Nobodies fault but a little acknowledgement would be nice, but I need to alter my expectations of this parent and get over it. This is a one off and wasn't on purpose.

Ugh, not fun!! Drink a glass of wine and browse pinterest for an effective way to clean it with a more child friendly way maybe?

Did they at least apologize? I will be honest, I wouldn't expect the parent to pay to clean my carpet because it happened on my watch but I definitely would expect an apology for their child's behaviour!! To not even acknowledge it is quite rude IMO.

Here's a link I found when I did a quick google search...the comments have some helpful tips as well http://armywifetoddlermom.blogspot.c...t-in-3_16.html

I don't expect them to pay either. I simply said that I would have offered to pay. It would have just been kind of them to show some caring towards the situation and that would have been one way that would have shown me that they were sorry for the predicament I was in.

BS, you tend to read my comments the wrong way lol I agree with you! Acknowledging what their child did and apologizing for it would have went a long ways. Maybe tomorrow they will surprise you with flowers or something?? That would be appreciated too!

My comment about me not expecting a parent to pay was just in response to another post that said the parent should pay. Was just offering my take on it If they offered that would be fantastic though!!

It's all out now so I can take a deep breath of relief. Also a parent just called to say their little guy was sick so it will be much easier having 2 kids in my living room instead of 3 tomorrow

Do you have a one piece sleeper in his size? Or can you have the parents send one. Put it on backwards, so the zipper is on the back. Just give the legs a spin at the ankle so the feet turn and still fit.

My friends 2.5yr old has removed her diaper a handful of times and they now do this when they are away from home to prevent any "surprises"

If the kid did it once he can do it again.

I keep them fully dressed !! Yikes !!! I'm so sorry !! That is disgusting !!! I'm grossed out ! I know it happens but I can't even imagine trying to scrub it all out !!!

This guy was fully dressed. He is 2 1/2 so old enough to get undressed with no trouble regardless of what I put him in. This has never happened with him before. My daughter did it when she was about 1 year in her crib. She thought it was the funniest thing ever, I still remember the silly grin and look of shear delight on her face lol I laugh now cause it was some 12 years ago but that was horrific beyond words. I forget how many hours I spent with a toothbrush and bucket full of Milton cleaning that poopy galore up. Fortunately prior to this job, in my 8th year now, I was a healthcare assistant in hospitals in the UK for a number of years. That made me build up an immunity against the yukiness that is poo. Nothing quite like bathing an adult who is covered head to toe thanks to dementia on a regular basis. Puke that's something I have a harder time with.

I'm greatful it came out of the carpet, just wish his mum would have at least responded in a way to acknowledge that this was unacceptable behaviour for a 2 1/2 year old who new that what he was doing was not okay.
