DCM termed b/c I wont bend a policy.

Ugh... new family, started last Monday, the 1 yo little girl was NOT adjusting, at. all. She was crying from drop off to pick up every day. This is the mom that wanted me to dreamfeed the 1 yo.

Today is her first birthday, DCM wanted to bring in cupcakes, I told her it has to be after PM nap, at 4pm. This is the only way I allow parents to attend a birthday celebration, and then they must leave with their child. DCM wanted to come at 10:30, I said no, so she termed....::

There were a couple of other policies she was challenging, so I was most likely going to term at the end of Trial period (tomorrow), but she saved me the trouble.

I am so relieved, this little girl was just not doing well here, and everyone was suffering from it.

Mom has asked if I have advice on where to send DCG now, what should I tell her?

Cupcakes at 10:30? No way! I missed your other post....what is dreamfeeding? Or was that an autocorrect?

[ihop]

Wow good riddance! If she's that crazy after a week.... oh just imagine!

I personally would not give her a referral, its not fair to who gets her next. I'd recommend a nanny as the child isn't adjusting to group care. Or a center where someone is more likely to put up with her drama.

The child wasn't taking a bottle so the mom wanted her to slip it in her mouth while the baby slept so she would eat during the day.

[hope]

She termed and then asked for your advice for another provider???? I would tell her that all providers will have a set of rules to follow and seems to like her own set of rules. Suggest a nanny.

hollly molly no way.........................that sounds very dangerous.

Good thing for you she left.....

I would just give the resource and referral # and leave it at that. You don't owe her anything.

You are all right, I don't owe her anything.

Unfortunately, this lady lives in my neighborhood, (it's a big neighborhood, but still....) so hopefully things will be smooth if we ever run into each other.

There is another DCP on my street, I have never talked to her and I'm not sure she knows I am down the road, but I feel like maybe I should warn her, but don't want to start drama.

She wanted to come hang out. It wasn't about cupcakes.

Sometimes you run into parents who don't want a no. They don't do well with rules or authority. She needs to hire an employee who comes from a place of yes.

Buh Bye! Unbelievable! Cupcakes at 10:30...nice. What a dumb thing for them to term for!

Well at least you don't have to term!

The dreamfeeding post blew my mind and now this? parents never cease to amaze me! I can see wanting to be part of the first bday celebration, but sometimes it seems like new parents have to take a stand against their provider to establish themselves when its a partnership and you would think they would want to get along and realize that we have "rules" for a reason and that we might actually know what works best in our group! If you need individualized care... Hire a nanny! Ok phew! Pollyanna rant over ::

[Crazy8]

sounds like you are much better off!!!! If she wanted to be a part of her child's first birthday maybe she should have taken the day off to spend it with her. Good for you for sticking by your policies!

I wouldn't hesitate to tell this mom that maybe group care isn't for her and that she should hire a nanny!
