DCM Not Comfortable Applying Sunblock Before Drop Off?????

[aDCProvider]

I think that time frame sounds reasonable. I seriously can not believe that your friendship devolved so quickly and all because you sent their sick child home one time. I think you're definitely better off without them - they sound like they're a few crayons short.

I know!!!!! I said almost the same thing to DCM except for the crayon part ::.

I'm sure someone said to them that if they want to have someone care for their sick kid then they need a nanny which is what they're looking for. That's fine, go pay 3 times more than what you pay me!

I know I'm better off without them...I had been saying to my husband a few months ago and again a few weeks ago that I wish I could term because their baby was soooooo demanding of me and my time. It was nice that he bonded with me and everything, but mom thought it was so cute that he was possessive over me and jealous of my baby. Yeah, it wasn't cute or enjoyable. He would follow me around screaming until I picked him up, and would try to pull my baby out of my arms if I was within reach.

This week has been amazing without them and their attitudes.

We plan to see our friends this weekend and I'm looking forward to seeing what was said if anything. I know I'll hear about it if something is said since my friend lives gossip! Who doesn't?! I just plan to say that I unfortunately had to let them go and leave it at that. Is this acceptable or is it giving out too much info?

I wouldn't say that to your friend. I would just say you adored the baby and you hope they find.the perfect care for him.

I have been through this with a friend of 15 years. I took the high road and only every said that they kids weren't a good fit for my house. She lied, gossiped and told story after story about me. In the end everyone noticed that I said very little and nothing mean while she ran her mouth. Guess who everyone believed in the long run? The high road is the harder one to take but it lets you sleep at night knowing all of your friends can see through it. :hug:

Glad you are enjoying your week!! Sometimes you dont realize how troublesome a family is until their gone.

As far as saying anything to your friend, like I said in a previous post...be vague and professional. ALWAYS take the high road. It will NEVER come back to bite you

If any of your mutual friends asks you, just give a brief but neutral statement such as "Group care is not right for everyone. I wish them the best" and leave it at that.

Maintain your professionalism above all else and it will pay off in the end.
