Good for you--protecting all of your DCKs. That would make me want you as my provider even more. That being said, I LOL'd when he asked if he could be "banned." ::
I think you did what you felt you had to do to be comfortable and to be secure in the care of your other children.
I probably wouldn't have terminated, small town, hard to find clients, and if it was the first stupid thing this family had ever done, I think I would have been inclined to give a second chance after a very firm lecture that no more mistakes would be tolerated. Next mess up is immediate termination.
BUT that being said, you did what you felt was right and I'm proud of you for standing by your decision.
Thank you daycaremum and everyone. Normally I' am a big chicken but momma bear came out when the child started to cry! And to be honest there were other little things that bothered me about this fam. Like I always had to hold her check until Thursday every week, they always complained about how much I charge (one time the dad even barged in asking if we could make a deal about the fee. I said no and that I charge a very competitive rate if he checks around. He did not like that response. And I love this one: He has a fever? must be teething! everytime he had a temp. Got old after a while!
