Okay... LOOOONG story short.... DCM brought DCK this am with an obvious red eye and undereye.... She did mention it was bothering him and that's why it is red.... DCM did not come in like usual... stayed in the mudroom..... stated DCK was very tired and would be ready for nap right away.... also mentioned he did not sleep good last night.... anyhow.... mom leaves... I take DCK into the play area.... get a better look at eye in the light... um.... IDK if pink eye is EVER this bad.... it looks like the purulent drainage is from pink eye BUT it also looks like some sort of sty on steroids on the lower eye area...... I do NOT accept kids with ANY sort of contagious illness...... This is actually this families last week... I feel it's due to sending home due to water diarrhea... two days in a row.... and mom was not happy.... but the reasoning is apparently due to not wanting to drive here... anyhow not that it matters.... BUT I am very much already over parents bringing sick kids.... WWYD?

Send home. Last week, I wouldn't even fret if she was upset. If it is pink eye, it's highly contagious. Part of my health policy, any eye drainage goes home. -
OMG I just realized she did not leave payment on the table either!Comment

Send home, demand payment. Decon, Decon, Decon.
This was most likely purposeful....
I'd probably terminate for Friday, but that is a moot point here.
I am so sorry your week is going this way.
Sending vibes for an awesome weekend. :hug:

I sent DCM a message stating that he needs to be picked up, evaluated and treated prior to being accepted back into care.... we will see if she responds...Comment

I would put him for a nap and then call DCM when he wakes up. I would tell her that you are afraid he is contagious and that he is too ill and unhappy to be at daycare. I would also tell her to keep him home for the rest of the week since Pink Eye takes several days to resolve.Comment

wow. That sounds malicious & purposeful-trying to slide a contagious disease by you & then non-payment? yeah, she better come back real quick to pick him up...with payment. Else, hello late fees. :hug:Comment

I would also send home or require him to be seem by a doctor. UGGG! about payment! Now you get to address that too!

SO.... she just picked up DCK,.... and is refusing to pay me! Said I am "unreliable" and every time DCK is sick she has to pick him up.... ..... WTH...Comment

Did you get a picture of the eye? If you need to take her to court for some reason, or if you want to show licensing (sounds like she's the type to make a false report) that documentation would help. Sorry you are going through this!Comment

Certified letter then collections.
Picking up sick kids is a Parents responsibility. Dropping off a sick kid makes her an unreliable parent.
I am sticking with "purposeful, to give her an excuse to get out of paying you". It is classic. I bet she thinks she is the first to come up with it.

I would send an email, text or certified letter highlighting the policy she signed, also let her know that if payment is not received, then late fees will apply, and kindly tell her that If not paid you will send her to collections on such and such date. the key is document everything. :hug: Good luckComment
