I would be a little turned off too if the parents didn't at least show some remorse. I understand that the parents have nothing to do with it, but its just nice to recognize the fact that we have to deal with the clean up, the bathing (which I agree with if the other children are still sleeping) and the after smell that goes along with it.
I have had children come in sleep sacs, but I hate them. I don't bother most of the time as they often don't need them past a year. I found it actually restricted one child from sleeping properly as he couldn't move freely and he was mover when he slept.
I had an incident just like this, minus the sleep sac. I had the monitor on and was listening. The only reason I went up was because I heard "uh oh" loud and clear. I put all of the poopy clothes in a bag for mom and I was able to bath him quickly, but I had to wait until daycare was over to clean the playpen as it's upstairs. Mom was appologetic and thanked me for doing it and not disrupting her at work.
I think poop is part of the job. I just clean it up and move on.
Hopefully something really positive happens with this family soon and you get that good feeling back about them. Sometimes we can't help how we feel.
