    I haven't been in daycare very long but I know exactly what you mean. Parents want to pay DCP to do things they themselves aren't willing to do, and they want to pay peanuts on top of it all. I try not to let that bother me because I know a good family will come a long who appreciates my philosophy and it will make it all worth it

    I call this outsourced parenting.

    And yes, it's getting more and more prevalent.

    I did the exact same. I want to say your making it up, cause this is just so unbelieveable. This poor child is sure to be ****ed up unless theres some serious intervention and help for the PARENT. This child hasn't got a chance if she doesnt suddenly have a reality check. I'm sure this mum would do real well on the show "bubble wrapped kids"

    UNBELIEVABLE!!!
