Lack of Communication, Let Alone No Compassion

[MyAngels]

I'm so sorry to hear about your grandpa :hug: It sounds like he lived a wonderful lifelovethis.

I agree with the others. Close when you want to, even if it's tomorrow. Go and don't give another thought to it. None of your families will begrudge you this trip and if they do they're not worth having enrolled.

Laurel I am getting old too cause I was thinking the same thing. This is not something to text. This is "this is what is happening and this is what I will do" face to face convo. I wouldn't assume they got the text either

Honey stop worrying about others. Time to worry about you and any client who cannot understand that in a situation like this should look elsewhere cause they are not the ones you want to keep.

I am so sorry!!!! (((Hugs!!!)))

As for the texting. I totally get it! I have 6 families and repeating that 6 times within a short period of time is extremely difficult!

I recant everything I've said negative about my daycare families. They have been extremely thoughtful this week, especially today. I think at the time I was upset about the situation and I translated a lack of communication into a lack of compassion. Thanks for all of your words of advice.

We head out this afternoon (my dh was able to come after all). My grandpa passed away last night so we will be going to celebrate his life and visit with family. I'm hoping to hear some more wonderful stories of his life and come back with some pictures of his younger years.

Since two families already said something about picking up early, I would send a note home stating that since no one else said anything, you will now be closing early so ALL children need to be picked up at (whatever time the family who did reply is coming) and don't give any options now.

They had their opportunity to reply and didn't so now the ball is in your court. Close when YOU need to and too bad for them if it doesn't work.....that'll teach them to be better at communicating.

If you don't get to see your grandfather again due to a parent's inability to talk to you, then you will never get over that....resentment will creep in and it usually ends badly when that happens so as of right now, I'd do what I needed to personally do and if anyone complains tell them, that if they had issue with it they should have said something when they had an opportunity to.



Thoughts and prayers for you and your family....situations like this can be soooo hard. :hug:

This.. So sorry for your loss; I lost my grandma this May.

So sorry for your loss-I don't have my Grandpas any more either.
I'm so glad your DCPs are being understanding. I hope you are able to enjoy your weekend with family remembering and hearing new stories.

I am there with you...my 92 year old grandmother is dying. She had cancer twice in the past several years, and the chemo and radiation from the last one took her to the point of no return.

She has basically stopped eating and went into renal failure like your grandpa, but she's still very coherent and has refused any further medical intervention. So she was turned over to hospice today and has basically gone home to die in peace.

She's had a long full life and is ready to rest. I just feel awful for my mom, who is her caregiver and will be there alone probably when it happens.

Sorry to hijack your thread. I send my condolences to you and am glad your dc families made it that much easier on you.
