Just Drafted The Letter Of All Letters For The Daycare Parents

[nannyde]

I DO run the show. But I also have 10 other kids here that need my care, and when the parent shows up, THEY should take responsibility for THEIR child.

They won't.

They are showing you they won't.

They will never choose you or the other kids over themselves.

Their line of thinking is:

Parent first
Their own child second
You

You must choose YOU first.

If you send that letter you will have a couple of cloudy days where you see the parents making the gestures towards complying with you. Once they realize they are on the loosing end of that and their kid doesn't like it then they will believe that the rules you put forward will be great for the other kids in your care but an exception MUST be made for them first and their child second.

Within a week you will be right where you are today.

Nannyde is right!

They will do whatever they want when at their own home. You can not tell a parent how to parent their child.

You should definitely talk to them, but nothing in writing unless it's your phb or contract.

Maybe you need to get rid of some families and lighten your load?

Let us know what you decide and how the parents react.
