Request to remove family photos...

[mamaof4]

this is and anonymous question from a member, what do you think ladies?

I had someone tell me that they wanted me to take all my family pics down from my sons room that doubles as a nap room, what do you all think? My son still needs to know that a part of the room is his? And besides he gets confused so I put his name above his bed he is 3.

That is a ridiculous and insensitive request! Did they give some reason for this??? I would not even entertain such a request. If they don't like it they can go to a daycare centre where there are no traces of a family living there.

Same here - what a twit of a parent. It YOUR SON's ROOM!!!! IT"S YOUR HOME.

I probably would have laughed at the parents face if they asked me that!!!! DUMBASS.

I would tell them that it is my house and I will put family photos where ever I please! What a twit!

Oh, Good Lord. You know, there comes a point when I realize I will never truly have "heard it all"!

Yeah, NO!

Now, you could just say NO and see how that plays out (but do NOT give in). But honestly, if a parent is asking that sort of completely inappropriate and rude request I would seriously have to entertain terminating them. I don't think I could work with a family like that.

This is HOME daycare. If they want centre care then GO TO A CENTRE where they can enjoy a sterile,, non-descript, impersonal institutionalized setting for even higher fees.

Geesh..............

Thats just crazy !!
No way it's your home your son's personal space
not a chance

[mom-in-alberta]

Ummmmm..... why?
I can't even pretend to think of a reason that this would be necessary. Unless the pictures were hanging over the playpen and they thought it was a safety issue? Ugh, some people are crazy and that is that!!

If they really want to control the child's surroundings to that extreem they should stay home with their child !

[fruitloop]

Um, ya NO! No way in he!! would I ever ever take down any of my family photos from any of my rooms...especially bedrooms. That is YOUR child's room first and foremost...daycare always comes second!

This is a follow up message from the poster:

"if pictures of my family and or any of my sons things are in there its hard for them to envision thier kids in my home." It is my home.. I dont get it.
