I would term them...that is soooooo insulting! Even if I needed the money, I don't know if I would ever be able to work with a family that thinks it is okay to come over and insult my cleanliness and sniff my floors.

Exactly....and my thoughts are that now they have crossed the line, and you let them, they will feel free to treat you disrespectfully in the future. I would tell them that I was insulted and feel that they are no longer a good match for my daycare.

Why didn't they just bring the smelly fabric to your home if they really wanted to be convincing? What was smelling your floors supposed to do?

[DaisyMamma]

these people are crazy. I would never do that as a dcp
I would be very offended as a provider
Time to start "sniffing" around for a replacement.
What was in the bag?
Have they been a good family besides this? 4 years is a long time and should be a good relationship by now.

So what happened? I too am curious as to what was in the bag. I keep wondering if they placed a camera in the playroom??

I'm bumping this up because I want to know what was in the bag.

I've been lurking on this thread, and I'm dying to know what happened too!

I would be LIVID if someone even attempted this!! I would totally press charges if someone tried to place a camera in my home. That's WAY too far!

I REALLY hope that's not what was in the bag!!

Ok, now I'm dying to know what happened.

It seems we have to wait to find out what happened here.....

In the meantime, I'll throw in my thoughts. My thoughts are that dcps are really nitpicking. That means that they will probably be pulling the kids from your daycare soon. Not because of anything wrong with your daycare. They are just looking for a reason to justify what they want to do. People tend to blow little things out of proportion when trying to justify something. They probably found someone cheaper, or a relative who would watch them and feel guilty. They want to have a REASON for pulling the kids.

That is what I would be suspecting - but then, I ten to be suspicious.....

Yep, this!

I think the same thing Country. I feel so bad for OP having to go through this, but to me, it seems they are looking for a way out. If I were you I'd find someone else asap and let them know it just isn't working. I would also def find out what was in the bag. Pronto.

[LK5kids]

This, but I also would have wanted to ask if my DH could sniff her carseat. ::::

The whole thing is just so odd. :confused:

Yes, really odd...I'd freak

[wahmof3]

bumping this again......

what happened?

You would think the OP would give an update......... makes you kinda wonder

[nanglgrl]

Please tell me this wasn't one of those fake posts and we all got caught up in it? If not I agree with the other posters who said the parents are probably just trying to blow something out of proportion to find a way to leave your daycare for a cheaper/more convenient provider.

That's what I'm thinking.

It also looks like she hasn't been back to the site since about the time she posted this, so she doesn't realize folks are hoping for an update.
