Potty Training Update

I wanted to state (specifically for the post above) that this parent was presented with multiple options by me and she came up with an excuse to shut down every single one. I didn't suggest that pull-ups were the only option, I suggested training pants which are invented for the purpose of potty training, cloth training pants (a little different and used a lot by parents who use cloth) and I also suggested wearing underwear and then the pull up over. According to this parent none of those options worked for her. Regardless of the policy or what the decision was made regarding pull ups, training pants, underwear etc. the fact that this child doesn't communicate to me that he needs to use the bathroom is a big no no for me. If he was able to communicate then maybe I would have only had the policy for 3-7 days but he can't. She wants to to ask him numerous times if he needs to go to the bathroom. I have 2 other girls that are currently in the process of potty training so please let me know how I am able to potty train 3 children underwear without turning the daycare into out house. If she needs that kind of attention then she needs a nanny, this is group care and one on one training. Expecting your provider to do at daycare what you do at home is unrealistic and shows me she has no concern for the other children in my care, which I already know she doesn't.


Anyway I sent her a text message later that night asking if she going to stay or leave as I have another family who has been on my wait list and really needs car. She sent me a text stating they dont have any intention of leaving they just need to figure out if they will use diapers or pull ups.

The next day I get an email stating they are terminating care and that it wasn't due to the potty training it was because the mom wont get another job contract for a few months so it doesn't make sense to hold a spot. This wasn't a lie so I was aware of the contract prior to the holidays, the part that gets me is I ASKED her 4 weeks ago if she wants her spot even though she wont be working she said "oh god yes we dont want to give out some away". Wasting my time once again.

Dad drops off money and asked me if DCB had any possessions left. I said I sent everything home to be washed before the holidays but he might have an outfit, he asked me to go get it now, I said umm no I have a child in the parking lot and I dont have time to be running around the daycare you should have asked me last night to have it ready, again wasting my time.

All that I can say is buh-byeI am so happy they are gone!
