Bereavement time

[bright sparks]

I am so terribly sorry you are going through this.

I, like Wonderwiper, would not allow this daycare parent to return. Immediate termination is in my contract for blatant disrespect of daycare provider or other people on premises. This is exactly what this is and I would enforce this immediately. What a horrible person!

Take as much time as you need, obviously, the nature of this job makes it difficult to take time off, but if you need a week, take a week, if you need more, take more.

I don't usually respond to posts but I had to when I read this! I'm so sorry to hear about your mother. If I was in your situation I would do exactly what the other ladies said. Terminate this mother immediately as she has no right to say that! That is the most disrespectful thing I have ever heard! I'm sure once you terminate her, you will be able to take the time you need and the existing families you have will understand. God bless!
