Parent accusations

[sunnydays]

Since this thread was dragged back up (lol), I will update and say that I ended up terminating the family in question. I first confronted them with my unhappiness with their rudeness and then it went downhill from there...they started complaining about my lack of communication (which is laughable at best...I communicate more than any provider I know and actually spent way too much time communicating with this particular family...in addition to my nightly emails telling all about our day and telling the dad at pick-up how the child slept, ate, pooped, etc, the mother actually seemed to think I should send her an individual email with her child's details every day!!!). In addition to this, the child was extremely challenging from day one and was getting worse and worse to the point that I was a stressball by the end of each day. I terminated and I am so glad I did! My life has been peaceful, daycare has been enjoyable and the stress is gone! All kids misbehave sometimes, but the group I have now all put together do not misbehave as much as that one child. Since this child was my first daycare child, I didn't actually realize how calm and enjoyable daycare could be until she was gone! By the way Greenboro...I had the same issue with the peeing the pants and parents asking why it only happens at my house (the kid was 23 months)! Grrrr!

It only happens at daycare because they are having sooo much fun they hold it until the flood gates open up!
