Potty Training Conflict

[My3cents]

::::::::::::::

No I agree. She is looking at it from the perspective of its just her daughter. Disregard the kids around her or the toys on the floor at her feet or that I have to stop what I am doing to clean her bedding. Or the time it takes to clean her up after she has peed outside and played without saying anything and is not only covered in pee but mud too!

Child arrived with no pull ups again today. I have decided to let her go at it. And when she pees the outfits, I will pile it in a bag. And when she pees the playpen for naps I will wrap it up in a trash bag and it will be sitting at the door waiting with a note that says come tomorrow without pull ups, plan to stay home. Miss XYZ is NOT cleaning it up. I am done. She is the most disrespectful person. And to not TALK to me. A+ on open communication. Does well for working together. I am tempted to lay into dad when he picks up but I don't know if he is in on it. KWIM? He is rather quiet and just does as told. It isn't so much the potty training as the demanding and rudeness that is just eating at me. Way to find yourself in a pinch without care.

forgot to say that I would have sent the mom to get pull ups or sent the child back with mom. It is your home, your rules, your daycare. Have a good potty training policy. There are some good ones here on the forums, adapt one to fit your program and stick with it.

So the playpen is theirs and not yours, right? No way would I allow her to pee in my equipment if I could help it. How did she do today? The big problem with letting her "go at it" is that you still have to clean up every time she pees on the floor. Not too bad if you have tile or linoleum flooring but carpeting....? No way would I have let her stay.

"I completely understand your desire for your daughter to be in underwear and that you are unwilling to provide pull-ups, I sure will miss you guys though.

I do wish you the best in your childcare search, if I can help in any way, let me know.

Seriously! This is pretty much how I would handle it. It's polite, professional and it gets right to the point.
