Help Me Write The Ultimate Term Letter

[Blackcat31]

Dear Parent,

I'm not sure why you persist in thinking you are my "boss" despite me going over that in depth during the interview. In our state an employer has legally mandated obligations such as paying minimum wage of at least $8 per hour(not the $3 you pay me), paying disability insurance, etc.

http://www.labor.ny.gov/legal/laws/pdf/domestic-workers/facts-for-employers.pdf

Since you can't seem to wrap your mind around that and persist in not following the contract you signed, I am terminating care effective immediately. In the words of Donald Trump, "You're Fired!"

Oh, and per our state's labor laws, I have turned you in for failure to follow your legally required obligations. Have fun with that! Who's the Boss now?

Sincerely,

My OWN boss

Awesome!~

Dear DCP:

I now understand why some animals eat their young. Maybe you should take a lesson from the animal kingdom.

Bon appetit!

I just had this exact conversation the other day.

[cheerfuldom]

I always used to say to my family that I would just love, one day, to put a sign on the door that says "Gone out of business" or "Closed Forever" and not answer the door.

But here is a letter:

Dear Parent,

Please spend time with your child. YOU are what they need. Your child wants YOU when they are sick, they want YOUR attention and not to see your nose in your cell phone constantly. They want to eat dinner at the table with YOU and not be plopped in front of the t.v. with a few chicken nuggets. Get with the program, step up and be the parent your child deserves for goodness sake. Give your child a fighting chance in life and stop expecting me or others to do it for you. Tomorrow will be your child's last day here. Think about it.

Sincerely,
Your sad former provider

oh dang! can I get an amen to that?! ::

Dear DCP-

I wish I could say it's been a pleasure working with you, but it wasn't. Your last day is today... Yes as in right now. I could have tolerated your child's quirkiness if I didn't have to deal with two inept people who don't really know how to "parent" this baby. She's just that... A baby! She's not ready to potty train, she still has a pacifier most of the day and rarely speaks! Smacking her diaper isn't a form of communicating the need to use the potty. And it's really NOT your neighbors fault that she hits and yells mine, it's because most babies do this at some point but blaming others won't help her get past it. And the cup that she won't part with in the car... Yeah she hands it over as soon as I shut the door, along with her pacifier you promptly pop back in at pickup. And the baby doll that she's inseparable from? Yeah, that's something that lands on the floor somewhere during playtime and stays in her cubby most of the day. She really isn't as attached to it as you seem to want her to be. So please take your multi-season wardrobe in sizes ranging from 12mos to 4T, her bag full of random lotions and such I've never had to use and find someone else to boss around and treat like crap! Oh and DCM- DCD puts you down at least once a day, sometimes two or three times! I surely hope you're not the idiot he makes you out to be. Maybe that's why your nanny took off with zero notice? She was probably just as sick of your drama and lack of parenting skills as I am!

Your no longer annoyed on a daily basis provider...

ahhhh! ::::::::

I'm not in a position to term anyone because I work in a center. But I would live to give this lively piece of advice to about 10 parents: Stop saving for college and start saving for jail.

[cheerfuldom]

Dear Parent,

Your family's behavior has made me realize that I can live without cable and high-speed Internet.

I can't handle this post.....ROTFLOL ::::::::

[cheerfuldom]

Dear dcm, dcd.. I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate you. Of all the children I have watched, and all the parents I have met and dealt with, you and your son are by far the absolute worst I have ever seen. Your precious 4 year old is the most uncooperative, loudest and most obnoxious cry baby I have ever dealt with, and you two are entirely to blame.

You have allowed him to learn and master every bad habit that you possibly could in 4 years... and because of this you have set him up perfectly to become the poster child for "failure" as soon as he enters school. I am quite sure that if you continue him on the path that he is on now he will soon no longer be your problem, as his new home will be a state run facility

I am not only terming your son immediately, I am officially telling you that I will never watch him again. Ever. I will also not be watching any other children you have in the future, and on a personal note suggest that you don't cause you truly **** at parenting.

I also will be asking all of my future families if they know you, because if they do the interview is over. I am not willing to take the risk that any of your bad parenting skills rubbed off on them by association.

WINNER! LOL almost wet my pants on this one

Dear every parent on the planet,

I know you love your darling, adorableness who is the light of your life, your special snowflake, and a gift to the universe

but let me serve you up a big slice of reality.....pull up a chair and take a big bite.

First off, your daughter is not a princess. She was not born into a royal family. And by the way, you aren't a queen so stop the entitled attitudes and the over the top wardrobes (that get in the way of play!) and keep it real hunny. Your daughter is not a model or pageant queen. She is very ordinary and just like ever other little girl out there. Please be a part of the solution for the future....promote education and morals with your child instead of raising yet another spoiled brat whose only goal in life is to get on a reality show or marry someone wealthy.

Your son is not the next Justin Bieber. He has no musical, dancing or other special talent. He is not a prodigy, he is not a prince. Instead of falsely pumping up his ego and showering him with gifts, please spend time with him. Teach him to control his impulses and stop acting like an animal. His climbing is not cute, his rowdy behavior is not fun, his filthy potty talk is not amusing. If you can't control him, the State of ____ correctional facility will.

Your child does not have unique allergies, rare jungle diseases or the worst case of teething known to man kind. They are sick! most likely a common cold but either way, YOU need to take care of them. Get off your phone and tend to your child instead of making up excuses so you can dump them at daycare. You are not busier and your work is not more important than anyone else here so quit acting like you the President and can't leave your job. Get over here and take care of your kid.

And for the final slice of pie, repeat after me. MY CHILD IS NOT SPECIAL.

Your child is the love of your life and I think that is great. This does not entitle them to break the rules at daycare. They can't have different food, individualized napping schedules, early drop off, late pickup, one-on-one attention all day. I wont nap with them, spoon feed them milk, jiggle a stroller or car seat while they nap in it, keep their fluffy dress clean, limit them to two diapers a day, stand outside with them while they are crying because they like fresh air or anything else that is outside of what you agreed to in our contract. Your child needs what ever other child ever has needed.....a clean, safe place with healthy food, regular sleep and consistent routine that yes, includes boundaries. Their development is within the normal range of children so no, I am not able to teach a 9 month old to read, a 12 month old to potty, or a 2 year old to sit through an hours of preschool curriculum a day. Calm down and stop trying to push your baby faster than is humanely possible. And on the reverse side, raise your expectations for your preschooler. They can wash their hands, put on their coat and walk to the car. Seeing you chase your precious in the driveway for 20 minutes is ridiculous. You should be embarrassed at your child's behavior. but for now all the neighbors are embarrassed enough for you.

That said, please get it together so the rest of the world is not collateral damage to your parenting tactics.

Hugs and Kisses! Your former daycare provider ::

This is an awesome letter! It describes one of my current daycare families that so accurately that it is scary.

That was my first thought too but then my post would have read

DCM

Provider

and I figured, no one would understand that.

To the parent I just termed a couple months ago:

Due to your continued idiocy in questioning policies as well as my ability to care for your child, please go blow it our your ***. I'm so done with you.

Lovingly,
