Never Felt Like A Parent Thought I Was An Idiot Until Now

I would tell them that the reason you are terming is because he isn't ready for group care. It IS in his best interests to leave your care. It IS in his best interest to tell Mom/Dad WHY. I would tell them that he needs more time to not have nipple confusion and take a bottle and be comfortable away from Mom.

but you already told her there was an issue with bottle feeding. then to say "oh I replaced him" just makes you look unprofessional and sneaky. better to be honest and say "I did everything I could but this isn't working out" trust me, they are going to be mad either way. There is no way to phrase a termination where a parent is going to say "oh that is wonderful news" LOL just be honest. be ready for a parent to be upset but dont lower yourself to lying about it. Now, being vague/tactful is another. You dont have to unload every grievance on them as they walk out the door. Either they can graciously accept your termination or not.....no matter their reaction, it does not mean you did anything wrong!

I agree.
