DCM Is Annoyed That DCG Hasn't Had Lunch When She Picks Up At 11:00am!!

Figure out what you want and you will allow moving forward OP and either she can make that work or she needs to find a new daycare situation. There is nothing wrong with saying that this has become too disruptive for your daycare. If you allow for the coming and going, put her on a schedule. She needs to come at X time, provide Y and Z for her daughter at home, can return at X time....no wiggle room on the schedule. put this whole deal on your terms!

Its extremely common, especially in countries outside the US. It might seem abnormal for many Americans but it is extremely common and accepted in many other countries. there is also a huge movement within the US that advocates for child led weaning and extended breastfeeding.

It's also recommended by the World Health Organization. http://www.who.int/nutrition/topics/...astfeeding/en/

I don't think it is even about the breastfeeding (dcg drinks plenty of milk.) It is that dcg has never slept without her mom by her side. But I don't even think it is dcg's issue - it's her mom that can't stand the thought of not laying with her.

I'd say to her that it's not working anymore and if she picks up BEFORE lunch is served and time to eat it, she cannot complain that dck didn't have lunch. Also, no drop off til after nap. i'd also write a letter like this:


Dear ____________

Effective __________ I am no longer able to accomodate the current arrangement we have with pick up and drop off. This will be the new arrangement if you agree. (insert here) If you are not able to work with this schedule, I will no longer be able to provide care. Please let me know by _____ your decision.


Sincerely,

YOU

in an odd sort of way, that is a little concerning.. :confused:
