Have you ever cared for a child you just plain out don't like?

[Judy Trickett]

YES!

And I don't feel bad saying that. We are PEOPLE and we just don't all get along. It's life. There is a reason we have best friends - because we inherently like some people more than others!

It's life. You can't like everyone all the time.

I am in this situation as we speak. I have had a 17mth girl in my care for 6mths part time. There is a 5 day gap in between care. I kept thinking that her character would change over time, but it has not. She had been very aggresive over toys, other children, almost bully like. I have been wanting to terminate this client for months, but always trying to find the positive on things and praying her character would improve. My husband has witnessed her behaviour and agrees with me. Her parents as well are very kind and nice, and I have expressed my feeling towards her aggresive behavior, they sheepishly agree. I feel that if she was fulltime, I may have a better chance with her. However the mom has no disire to go fulltime. I have decided to terminate come fall, and only accept fulltime clients going forward. Could it be single child syndrome? or new parents that allow no boundries?
