DCM dropped the ball on handling a very teachable moment!

This forum is great for venting as I feel you folks are my 'co-workers and peers' The fact that dcm showed very poor judgement seriously did not keep me up at night LOL. So thanks for the feedback Suzie-Homemaker and I do agree on some of your points....I did not need a 'lesson' on how to feel or run my daycare. If a parent is not correcting a child's bad behaviour in my home I WILL do it and HAVE done it. Unfortunately, I was not provided the opportunity as more pressing matters where at hand....taking care of the children that were clearly distressed at having their turn to wear the costume ripped away. As for posting the vent on the "world wide web forum"...big deal. I did not use her name and clearly was meant for the group.

That my point. You get upset about lesson in day care - but feel you entitled to a teachable moment. You not like being called on it but you feel it okay to do that to parent. Some providers seem to forget they not entitled to teachable moments with grown ups.
