The Absolute NERVE Of This Woman

[Unregistered]

I would have such a hard time opening my door to this mom each morning moving forward.

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

You probably should get a second work number for her so when this happens again you'll be able to reach her, assuming you don't plan to terminate care.

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.

Yes, her DD was there while you were closed, I'd say that is due the late fees for all the time! WOW, I still am fuming when I reread this!

Why did you even open the door??

Call her and tell her to come pick up her child or you're calling the proper authorities.

Don't get mad, just stop letting people treat you like crap. You're the only one who can do that. It will get better when you start requiring respect. Right now you are allowing this to happen and of course that's not going to feel good!

I don't know, Willow. I have been doing this a LONG time, and I might have just been floored enough not to have taken the child back out to the car.

However, I would be calling CPS about this one.

I'm glad baby went home. When I read first post I was floored. Yeah, and if it was me, I don't care what kind of money, it would be immediate termination. That is so rude. Who's to say she won't pull some other stunt in the future?
I hope you got some rest.

I'm glad the baby got picked up and hopefully your family feels better tomorrow.

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.

Seriously, she will do this again. Maybe not this exact same situation but you will be disrespected again. You let her break your policies without any consequences. I highly doubt that she will start following the rules now.

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

What does she do for work?

A google to her work place is what I would have done.


After having more information I am going to guess that the child has been taken away from the mother and she is doing some type of program to get her back, if she misses any time its a penalty towards her goal

what I can't get over is the fact that she said I don't care if he gets sick and just dumped him knowing you were sick and closed. I would term for this. There are other clients out there. I would not want to work with someone who just didn't care about anyone but themselves. Been here and done that---

What did she have to say for herself about this? I would want to know.

I don't know if you get the patience award or not- I have mixed feelings on this. It is one thing to help someone it is another to let others walk all over you for the sake of $. That being said I have been there and done that too and it is a learning curve that we all struggle with at times. I really strive to be strong in this area. Most of the time it puts us in our uncomfortable zone and then when it is over we notice it was not that bad at all in the first place and needed to be done.

I am not quick to term or tell someone to term. I am all for working things out, but this is crazy--- unless I am missing more information

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:

Who cares!!!

It is a bad, desperate day for the provider who has a whole family that is sick, including herself.

What kind of a mother would do this to her child?

Anyway:hug: to provider and hope your feeling better and your family too-

Have to run an update on what this parent had to say for herself if you ended up taking her back. (I would not)

[My3cents]

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

I am coming back to this post because it floors me that this women did this to you. What was your response to her? I would have come unglued once it hit me what the lady did. I too probably would have been taken back for a few, prob enough time for her to make a get away-

She runs her own cleaning company.

She knows I am angry with her, and she apologized profusely. I said to her this morning that the next time she can find a new "babysitter".

She said I understand and It wont. She was short on cleaning staff and had tons of houses to clean.

[mrsp'slilpeeps]

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?

She has visitation rights to him. She doesn't know that I know this about her.

I think she would be embarrassed about that.
