Put My Foot Down HARD This Morning...I Don't Know What Came Over Me LOL!

[cheerfuldom]

I don't understand why a mom would make such a request when she knows the little girl doesn't yet have the control to make it through nap/sleep time. Why would you want your child sleeping in their own urine? :confused:

They do this because they want to save money on pullups and they are not the ones having to clean up the mess or deal with a kid that is upset for soiling themselves. They want their kid in underwear on your time so they get to say "my kid is potty trained!" but dont have to do the work themselves. She isn't really thinking about what is best for her child but what is best/easiest for herself.

If this parent really was interested in "training", the parents could have begun this at home or continued this at home to get closer to the two-weeks-no-accident rule. It doesn't take much to read between the lines though. The parent quit the plan as soon as the provider wasn't willing to execute it. I would take that as the parent not having any intention of doing the work, they wanted the provider to do it all.

OMG! Just how exactly is she training her while she is sleeping. I have the same issue here, the kid does fine in underwear at home, but he insists on running around with no pants on.

He is wet...every...single...time...I take to go potty and he never asks me to go. Yep...he is potty trained....NOT>

Good for you for standing up for yourself and your home and other daycare kids!

I don't like sassy talk from the kids let alone the parents. I have to admit I would have given her her walking papers for being so disrespectful. But that's just me....I am old enough to be the mother of most of my clients and I won't be talked down to by someone younger than some of my own kids.

She started rearranging your space???!!! Hellllllll naw. I'd have said something then too. Good for you for sticking up fr yourself.

Good for you for speaking your mind!happyface

This is kind of off subject, but along the same lines. I will try and make this short.
About 5 yrs ago on the first day of daycare of taking this DCB of about 1 yr and a half, the Mom gave me a 3 page outline of how she wanted me to care for DCB & what I could and could not do while caring for her son. It was ridiculous! I wasn't supposed to talk on the phone while he was here,have anyone visit, watch t.v or do much at all while he was napping except watch him sleep,no cleaning my house while he was here, no taking in my car anywhere,no answering the door if someone was here and a few other things. Well, I called her at work as she had left as soon as she handed me the papers and I told her point blank that I could not do what she asked as this was my DAYCARE business and I run it as how I see fit and don't appreciate her telling me how to care for her son and what I CAN & CAN"T do while he is here and told her I didn't think it was a good fit. Well, she begged me on the phone to keep him and rip up her guidelines and just do what I do. Well, I gave in to her and had him for about 3 months and then termed him as she was a problem, got along with the DCB, but not her as she came into my home on morning,marched into my kitchen and put DCB on my cupboard,standing him up to take his coat of,with wet boots and all. I asked her to not do that and she said this is how we do it at home and that did it for me, time to go find another daycare that would put up with her.
I felt bad because I liked the little boy,but did not get along with the Mom at all. I had other kids here in my Daycare and I think she was looking for someone to give him all the attention, like a nanny.

I want to know how exactly she is "training" dcg not to pee while she sleeps. Subliminal messaging?

I wanted the magical answer to that too. My 5 year old son is just finally staying dry through nap and night.

Honestly if I had a parent make the comment about "how hard is it to clean up the bed and child". I would flip. I feel like I am running on barrowed time every day trying to get everything done. NO the rest of the group is not going get shorted on outside time because I have to spend an extra 15 mins to 1/2 hour washing everything.
I had a family think that it wasn't a big deal if there child had one accident per day. I did it for a bit, but it took me away from the group for a half hour washing carpet and not to mention the expense of carpet machine cleaner. Back in pull ups for him!!!
