DCK just pulled from my care :(

Sorry to hear this! Agreeing with zen that the mom has overreacted. Maybe you could call her this evening and tell her that this kind of thing is normal, and that your son and her child get along really very well. Sounds like the mother just needs reassuring. Hope it all works out, and I wouldn't worry about ds - he is likely just adjusting, but will get over it for sure.

obviously this mom already felt guilty about having her son go to a daycare, any daycare for that matter.
I went through the same thing with my kids, they HATED having a daycare here.. they are a bit older now and it helps.
Hang in there, things will get better.
As for this family, believe me when I say if it wasn't this that made her go , it would have been something else. Children, including ours are entitled to their opinions.
I say you dodged a bullet with this one lol

I agree with Alpha - I would give the mother a call this evening and apologize and explain that this is a transition for everyone INCLUDING your child. It is quite normal for your child to feel that way and not understand why another child is suddenly in THEIR home all day.

My own 5 yr old daughter and son still make comments at times that make me think they don't get that this is my job and I am not just inviting these little 'friends' over as my own playmates. lol she still asks me if I love her more than the kids who come here every day. It is hard on our own kids and your child is bound to voice their concerns at times. It is hard on them too.

I would hope that having a good heart to heart convo where you explain that it is quite normal for your child to have moments where they feel possessive is normal just like there will be times where their child will go through stages of which parent they like more, whether they want mommy to go to work or not, etc.
