Holy !@#T!!! Shortest Enrollment Ever!

Here's my two cents worth:

If my child hit a teacher, he/she would be suspended or expelled.

If my child hit me, he/she would be punished.

If a daycare kid hit me, it'd be the last time. Termination is about our only recourse. If this child was confident enough at 3 years old to hit someone they didn't know, clearly they are comfortable doing just about anything. I fear if you would have continued, your house would have been destroyed by the end of the week and other parents would be providing you with termination if their children picked up this girls bad hahavior.

New or not, no child hits me or any other child for ANY reason here!

She was kicked out of a center before she came here-mom and dad owe them $500, and her aunts best friend does daycare, but she doesn't go there. Hmmm, I think I could see why. Also, when mom picked up, she couldn't even get the kid into the car-she took off down the block, and mom did NOTHING. When she finally wrangled her into the car, she was flailing about, and screaming. I don't believe her behavior at my house was a result of being scared- I think a lack of parenting and discipline is to blame. I don't think this was that unusual for her.

Just because a child acts out does NOT always mean there is a LACK of parenting problem. Some children ARE special needs wether it be Autistic, ADHD, Bi polar, SPD, etc. and the parent may not know they have a special needs yet I wish some people would open there eyes and see that SOME kids need HELP and its not always a out of control child because of the parent this make me angry to know end.

Well maybe mom should have mentioned that during the interview. I don't have the training or the desire to deal with special needs. My business, my decision. And anyway, had that actually been the case, the mom would have been apologetic and would have had an explanation for the behavior. That is NOT what she did, so I'm chalking this one up to bad parenting. Children behave how they're shown. If there is no discipline at home, the child will act accordingly.

I can't open any of it at all. Is the reply good or bad?

wow total bs about my kid...

I'd like to put my one little tid bit in here and then I will be done with this because it is not worth my time. First of all, I am a fantastic mother who is in the process of raising her FIRST child. EVERYONE makes mistakes. If I had done something wrong here, I would have apologized, but thats not the case. Second of all, DD has just left long term pre-school, due to the cost and billing, my husband and I wanted to try family daycare (a more homey setting where she would get care like she does when she's with me). This was a big mistake and will never be done again. When she was in a more structured setting, I would bring her in the same time, and if she did not go to sleep within 15 minutes, she was allowed quiet play with books. I have NEVER been called within 20 minutes by a hysterical woman telling me that my daughter is hitting. My 3 year old daughter does not typically hit unless she feels THREATENED. My daughter obviously felt the need to protect herself.

If this daycare provider had used a soft, kind, soothing voice and gained my daughter's trust, she might have gotten farther. If she didn't go to sleep, it would have been wise not to push it... It's called CHOOSE YOUR BATTLES PEOPLE!!! Thirdly, I was called by the daycare provider in question, accidentally hung up on her, and then I called her immediately back. I was on my way to get her "RIGHT NOW". A minute after I got my daughter away from this crazy lady, my SISTER, not my friend, told me that she just got a hysterical call from her niece's new daycare lady. She thought that there was a medical emergency with one of her kids, hence the hysterical urgency in her voice. This is how upset you get with a brand new 3 year old in your home? One that is not even your own child... This is unacceptable for a daycare provider!

I cannot believe, that someone who has been doing this for 2 YEARS cannot handle a stressed out first day! My daughter was tired, but when it comes down to it, my daughter was threatened by this angry woman, and felt like she needed to protect herself. On the way home, she said "Mommy, I don't wanna go this daycare." ******, I hope that you broaden your skills as a daycare provider, otherwise, find a new profession. So that is my take on this incessant hen squabble. Have a nice day!

the reply was supporting me! I'm so grateful to whoever did that! She basically said that any provider would have done the same thing. The ad is gone now. VICTORY!!!! Thank you soooo much ladies!!!

The child probably has other issues, not just bad parenting. This sounds like they need to see a specialist.

The kid was set up to fail from the beginning. She never had a chance with mom dropping off at that time. (and I will not ever believe the mom didn't know it was nap time... I don't think anyone is that clueless) But, this isn't the kid's fault... this is lack of help for the child, lack of consitancty for her, and no common sense from the parents.

I've worked in centers..... a kid could be wielding knives and hatchets and the daycare won't kick them out.... I can't imagine what she must have been like.... or perhaps it was the fact that she wasn't all that pleasant, and they didn't like providing a service for free.

I think you dodged a bullet personally... I'm willing to bet this mom had no intentions of paying you.

Could someone please explain to me why as soon as a child throws a temper tantrum, they need to see a specialist???
The child needs a good time out and a good talking to, not a dang doctor.

PS- thanks for discussing my case online

you will be sued now! that stuff is confidential.

[daycare]

Ugh... I think this whole thread has taken a wrong turn...

All that I have to say is remember that we all need to play nice!

To all parties in this situation, please try to see things from both sides as a parent and as the provider.

I am so sorry that everyone has had to go threw this situation and hope that it stays civil.

The OP never used names of anyone. There is nothing identifying you (or her) as to who you are, so she did not divulge anything that was confidential.

its like the kid with the guilty conscience....

[momofawesomekid]

I got an email from someone who saw my CL post giving me a heads up that I was being talked about. Obviously there is identifying information.

HMM sounds like my 14yr old stepson!!!!!::

The case will be dropped by the court, cause it's a waste of their time.

Your child slapped and adult.

Disrespectful and down right wrong.

My own kids have never laid a hand on anyone. So she must have learned it from someone?!!?
