Ooooooh I've got the same thing and I'm on my last straw.
She's 2.5, I've had her for almost 2 weeks. Screams bloody murder and climbs out of the playpen over and over for 2 hours straight. She is keeping my whole house up and I am beyond pissed!
Mom thinks it's FUNNY and admitted that dcg sleeps with mom every night and is rocked to sleep for naps! At 2.5!!
I've tried the sheet over the top, tried sitting with her until she falls asleep, am currently going down and putting her back in every time she climbs out. I literally haven't sat down during the day in almost 2 weeks. No sooner am I back upstairs then she's out again. It's beyond ridiculous.
I'm giving mom notice, I'm done. I had a few terrible dckids last year and hung on WAY too long before finally letting them go. My days were incredibly depressing and I grew to hate my job. Not doing that again.
Now, if the parent hasn't done their part to teach the child to self-soothe, they get to live with the consequences and find another provider. My own 2 year old is exhausted, and my other 2 little ones are getting sent home cranky and overtired, as no one has been able to sleep. Not worth the money.
