Parent accusations

[2nd mom]

Have being offering childcare fro 38years and have dealt with this type of issue many, many times, first off, a job as a childcare provider is considered a low class job even though we are offering a service which I feel is more important than lots of high paying careers. Lets face it if something goes wrong in our line of work it could be life changing for everyone. So being treated like a moron seems to come easy with some parents, I however have learned over my many years to respond in a mature and adult like manner as I explain one time only that I'm not responsible for whatever they may be accusing me of and if they have a concern with my trustworthiness or honesty than they need to make arrangements for other care. I explain I do not wish to discuss the issue again. If they trust me with their child for 10 hours everyday but can`t trust me with their clothing, dressing them, feeding them, etc.... there is a problem. What ever you do don`t lower yourself to their standards as its what they want. It takes very special people to care for and love other peoples children everyday while providing love, safety and life skills and I have found after 38 years that some times parents don`t like the fact that we provide more than they may receive at home. Smile through it all, hold your head high, as the children are really all that's important. Good Luck
