    Would You Tolerate This

    My cousin follows one of her parents on interest and she post a lot of racist cartoons on there. Because she isn't saying it at the daycare how would you handle this or would you just not mention it.

    I had the same issue after I watched my niece and I never got paid! I watched her for 4 months, and after dealing with it I sat my sister down and told her that I didn't think it was going to work. I played stupid and told her that my niece wouldn't listen to me because to her she was at "aunt Cara's house" and not a daycare so she didn't think she had to follow the rules. I never pushed the payment issue because I just wanted her to go somewhere else. It took me a good 3 months before I wanted to be around my sister and niece again. It was a very bad idea and I will never watch family again. Good luck! Sometimes you just have to do whats best for you!

        I wouldn't mention it. As long as my business relationship was good and that way of thinking wasn't leaking into it at all I'd be good just ignoring it... although it would make me think less of them..... a whole lot less.

            like this

            Business wise, I’d ignore it & unfollow. I wouldn’t want my business to be connected to such foolishness.

            On a personal note, I’d address it, unfollow and move on.

              couldn't say it any better, and unfollow her on pinterest.

                I would term. I don't want anyone with values like that in my home. I find it offensive, very offensive. Racism should not be ignored, it should be addressed and not tolerated. By only unfollowing you are accepting that she has the right to be a racist and that is not ok, IMO.

                  I agree that racism should not be tolerated or accepted, but if you as a provider keep that family, the children of the family will hopefully be exposed to your way of thinking and not just the parents racist views kwim? Thats what my thought process was.

                    I too would unfollow them .
                    If their views begin to interfere with my child care I would term the contract , until then I would just continue on . It does not mean I have to like their views but like someone else said maybe my good views will rub off on their dck.

                      I live in America. Last time I checked people here do have a right to be racist. I don’t tolerate racism. I equally believe wrong, right, confused, misguided, ignorant, enlightened or flat out brilliant people have a right to their beliefs and opinions.

                        Who posts racist cartoons? Your cousin or the families.... I'm confused...

                        Is your cousin a provider too?

                        Honestly that is the very reason I avoid social media sites in connection to ANY one I have a working relationship with.

                        I have NO desire to know or comment on their humor, recipes and/or anything else they find amusing or funny.

                          People certainly have a right to believe anything they want. Just as I have a right to not have anyone in my home who is a racist.

                            I would unfollow but not term. Lots of diversity here and discussions about people being the same on the inside (I am an obviously different color than my child so that sparks many conversations)...the exposure to that would be beneficial for a child in a racist home.

                              Yes she is a provider to. Its was one of her dcm but she informed me that she termed not because of the cartoon but the conversation about the cartoon when she brought it up.
