Hello everyone... 
I've been doing daycare for 2 years, I currently watch 5 kiddos ages 18 months to 4 years...
I have this one family since mid February...
Child is always dirty (gets a bath once or twice a week), they are never on time, dropping off, or picking up, often ask to pay me a few days later, and I can keep going... at this point the only reason why I'm keeping them is because I will be going on vacation for 8 weeks at the end of May, and I need to save up money...
I'm constantly reminding them the rules they are breaking, and I've been very, very patient with them... I shouldn't have opened the door to them in many occasions, but I did...
Then, this Mom, is always ready to call me and complain about something...
This accident happened Friday... she has to leave the carseat here because someone else from the family is in charge of picking up... I let her do that, even if I don't have room for those bulky carseats in my house...
I keep it in the daycare bathroom, and the door is always locked. I have a door knob cover on it to keep the little ones out...
So it happened that I put my small dog in the bathroom for 10 minutes while we had the landscapers in the back yard replacing a sprinkler...
Well, I guess my dog peed on one side of the car seat... DCM called me all angry because there was a bad smell coming from the car seat...
I was caught off guard... I couldn't think about the reason, until 5 minutes after she was cussing at me on the phone...
I apologized, and told her that I was going to be more careful now that I think I know what happened... I asked her if she was able to wash it, and she said yes, that it was clean again.. (note that the car seat in question is one of those that are always covered in crumbles, sticky stuff, spilled milk and juice, and so on...)
Of course I feel bad... but I thought that the reaction I got was not necessary, since she is aware ( I hope) of all the "passes" I gave them in the past few months...
I guess is just frustrating...
