The Absolute NERVE Of This Woman

[mema]

Wow! Hope all turns out ok and she got her arse there to pick up.

Your response is wrong to this provider, putting the blame on the provider for this Parent who lossed her mind and just dropped her kid not caring if her kid is to get sick or not is the one in the WRONG. I am irritated with your response here your out of line trying to blame this on the Provider-

I'm not blaming this on the provider. What I wrote that you quoted through wasn't written to the provider here, it was written to littlemissmuffet - hence why I quoted her before and then typed my response.


You yourself wrote:

I would have said NO, you will have to take your son with you, we are sick and I am CLOSED for today. Risk losing the client but if she is that rude I wouldn't want to work with her at all. You chase after her with her son and say NO! Parents can only be rude to you if you let them!!!

Who are you saying *let* this happen??

And how is that any different than any of what I've said??

[Willow]

On a side note I don't think I've ever seen so much outrage in a single thread yet before....the implied swearwords alone tell you just how serious we all feel this is

Ok, so I got a hold of the sister in law who actually has custody of the baby. (Long Story) She has to pick up and drop off baby at her SIL house everyday.

She said that she would be here as soon as possible. I explained to her what was going on, she was a little miffed because DCM didn't go into detail to her about what was going on at my house

Calling CPS will do nothing, the police say if you leave a child with a contracted babysitter, then that's between you and her.

I'm not licenced, so that doesn't help me either. I cannot afford to term her at this point, but I told SIL, that in no way, shape, or fashion will this ever be happening again. When im closing its for a good reason and next time she does this, DCM can find a new daycare. I also suggested to her to look at my Facebook group page that list's all the other daycares in town and find a back up daycare or the Daycare centre takes drop ins.

Anyway baby is gone home now. My son has finally stopped throwing up but still has an upset tummy.

So now I'm off to do mountains of laundry, clean the carpet in my sons room and so on!!

Thanks everyone for the support. lovethis

I just can't stop wondering what kind of a day this mother is goint through also... Before today did she seemed to be irresponsible/selfish?? Or this is a very bad/desperate day?? Who knows??!:confused:

I am glad someone came to get the baby and you and are having some peace now.

However, whether or not I could afford it, that is too serious not to term.

There are other families.

I apologize it didn't sound like you at all I got lost in the thread- I stand on what I said to whoever is blaming this on the Provider. I strongly feel for this provider who was walked all over this morning-

[mrsp'slilpeeps]

Call her work!!! Speak to her boss and be ready to term.

Her cell phone is listed as her work number. Its the only number she has.

Get some rest yourself, too!

Purely out of curiosity - can I ask if ethnicity or a language barrier is at play here?

Perhaps this parent has no idea how truly offensive and off the wall what she did was???

Reason I ask is a local potato farmer apparently pays to transport inexpensive labor from "south of the boarder" during his fall harvest. I learned of this because this past fall I had a vehicle full of women show up at my doorstep (during naptime) and pretty much try to just shove their infants in my arms and take off. Only one spoke broken English, she told me the name of the man they were working for and that they needed care right now because they had to get to work. I had no openings for infants, much less that many (there were like a half dozen!) and there is no way they could have completed the necessary paperwork. I tried explaining this and they still tried barging in and setting their babies right in my entryway!!!!!! I tried being nice initially and telling them sorry, commenting about how adorable their babies were but it didn't work. No joke, I about had to manhandle them to get them to keep their babies in hand and get them out the door. The whole thing completely threw me for a loop because it definitely wasn't run of the mill social/cultural behavior for anywhere I've ever seen.

Not at all.

[mrsp'slilpeeps]

I agree with this.

And I would call CPS on her if she's not answering the phone. I don't play "touched it last".

I don't mean to be harsh, but you really need to grow a backbone. This is an unacceptable situation and you are not as powerless as you think. BUT you need to take that power.

As for me opening the door, yup I did because I had just sent my daughter out to catch the bus about 3 minutes before this. I always lock it and sometimes she comes back cause she forgets something. No I cant see who is here either, I have mactac on my side window beside the door for privacy.

She is fairly new here. She just said it was such a bad day for this and she had no choice.

[Kaddidle Care]

she plunks down the car seat and says no one will take him, I have to work, and I don't care if he gets sick and walks out.

I'm sorry you had to go through this but I'm even more sorry for this child. And you wonder why she doesn't have custody of her own kid. Why was he even with her today?

[Willow]

Well, I think you've officially earned the title *Most Patient and Understanding Provider Ever*

Because it's obvious everyone else would have gone absolutely ape **** ::


Kudos to you for that. Hope your kiddo feels better soon and your cleaning goes quickly so you have at least some time to relax today

[AfterSchoolMom]

This is probably one of the most rude things I've ever read about on here. There's no way I'd let that woman back into my house, ever....money or no money.

At the very least, I think you should charge her late fees for all of the time that the child was there while you were trying to get in touch with someone.
