I am THE least confrontational person in the world.
This is so incredibly difficult for me.
I adore the mom - but I can't take it anymore.

it is so bad that I want mom to come get him right now. He has been yelling at the other kids all morning -smacking their hands when they come anywhere near him or if they are anywhere doing anything fun
I just very calmly said "C--- Please be gentle with my toys" he was hipping matchbox cars hard onto our train table.
He yelled "NO" and threw it at my head.
Seriously losing it. -
Can you isolate him?
If it's that bad, you have to just get it over with and tell mom. I wish you luck.Comment

Email, text, anything at this point. Even in handwriting, if need be.
I would call mom right away, ask for pick up due to violent outbursts, and tell her he will be kept as isolated as possible until she arrives because someone will get hurt, so please hurry.
Even the nicest parents need to take responsibility for their children, and if this isn't the first time she's heard this she'll have a good idea of what to do next.Comment

question for you
I know for certain - current parents are going to wonder why "C" isn't here.
Do you tell them?Comment
-
I'd just mention to them that C's last day is going to be x date, and either let them draw their own conclusions or if they ask, just say that his mom needed to find a different child care for him. Hey, it's the truth right?
I've actually never had parents question why someone wasn't here anymore.Hee hee! Look, I have a signature!Comment

everyone sort of got to know eachother this year. And especially one mom - she isn't nosey at all - but if someone is missing she always asks - she is more concerned about them than anything.
I have a feeling she's going to asking me what happened. It is hard when you cross that line and become friendly with parents. KWIM?
I don't want parents to think he is leaving because mom isn't happy with me either.. that worries me

With respect to privacy it will be hard but you shouldn't say. I would say something like "C won't be with us anymore." and leave it at that. If they push could you say For privacy reasons you cannot say more.everyone sort of got to know eachother this year. And especially one mom - she isn't nosey at all - but if someone is missing she always asks - she is more concerned about them than anything.

I just tell them that shes no longer enrolled. If they ask why I simply say,.. well,.. I couldnt provide the care she was looking for, or I couldnt work with her schedule, or Her situation changed and I wasnt able to change with it., or you could be blunt with them and say,.. if it were your information would you want me sharing it with billys mom? We parted on great terms, and are still friends.
