I have wrote several posts about my 3 year old day care boy. He has VERY poor skills with a fork and can not use anything that isn't a sippy cup. Can not put on or take off his pants, underwear or jacket ( have finally gotten him to do his boots but he still cries about it). His speech is all mumbles so you can only understand a couple words he says. Does not know his last name, colors, shapes, numbers anything and I have had a lot of trouble trying to teach him. His parents give him whatever he wants which has caused serious behavior issues. I'm talking a 10 minute tantrum because he tries to take another child's toy and I say no. He is constantly coming wih cookies in the morning. I have told them no food but thwy say they can't gt him here if they don't give it to him. It has drained me so much and I am no longer enjoying my job. I want to terminate him but here is my problem.

His parents came to me wanting me to take both there children however I said no because the other child isn't 1 until January. They said they would pay a half fee until she is one and I will take her. So the mom is at home with the little girl and I take her son everyday 730 to 430. Which I find terribly sad..... never early never late he is always here. Anyway so basically the parents have been paying 750 for the boy plus 375 for he little girl. The boy didn't start until September but they have paid 4 payments for the little girl.

I feel like it's not fair to terminate them without giving the money for the little girl back but I also feel terrible because it would be putting them in a bad situation of trying to find care. On the other hand I feel like my mental health hangs in the balance. The parents are doing NOTHING to help with his behavior and seem to turn a blind eye to how behind he is.

What would you guys do in this situation? Should I suck it up and see if I can handle it for another couple months?
