Sneaking Underwear In

[Controlled Chaos]

I would be so pissed. I would not term, but would call and require diapers or pick up. Not being able to reach them might be a term. That scares me.

[deliberateliterate]

Yup. I would also be willing to term over it. Dropping and running to make sure you didn't notice, the added 'only a few accidents' and blatant disregard for your policies, and then not responding? NO NO.

Not to mention that she brought EIGHT changes of clothes. She knew full well what kind of day you were going to have. That's beyond disrespectful and right into rude. I'd give that kid a huuuuuge cup of juice 10 minutes before pick up.

and I'd take the diaper I put her in off.

This is another reason I supply everything. *I* decide when a child moves to underwear. *I* inform the parent. Not the other way around, and it's gone over so much that I keep copies of just that policy on the bulletin board, and regularly hand them out.

3 accidents in one day so far? I would term if she doesn't call back within 20 minutes of your initial call. And if she does call back I would have a serious talk with her. She didn't tell you anything at drop off on purpose. She didn't want you to send her away for diapers. And now she isn't calling you back on purpose because she doesn't want to pick up early.

Not answering or responding to my calls is grounds for immediate trmination in my contract. It is one thing to be so rude and disrespectful of your time and policies, but to not respond to your daycare provider is downright DANGEROUS!

It depends on how upset you are, but I would wait till pick up, charge them for any diapers, and tell them dck cannot come tomorrow without diapers and if the next time they do not respond to your calls/texts, they will no longer be welcome at your daycare. It ****s to be tough, but there are rules for a reason and if we don't enforce them, they are no longer rules, just suggestions.

Update?

I would NOT allow for no response. I once had a REAL life emergency (kid went into anyphalaxis). I had to have an ambulance come get the kid. I had 5 other kids with me, and could not go with the child. Mom was unreachable. She had lied to me about being at work, and her boss outed her. I couldn't reach ANYONE to be with the child, so the police officer who had come along with the ambulance, went ahead and rode with the child. It was UNACCEPTABLE that mom didn't return my phone call and I left a VM saying "S is going to the hospital, (name of hospital) and why" for TWO HOURS! She arrived at hospital TWO hours later as well...Claimed she was working and her boss didn't give her the message. BS!!! What if we could not have saved the child!?

And how AWFUL the kid had to ride alone with a stranger...

Mom picked up at normal time. I told her no more underwear at my house. She had 6 accidents, 1 was on the couch and another on the carpet. Mom was ticked and didn't say much, didn't pay me. I'm 90% sure they will start looking for someone else tonight.

If I had called for early pick up and mom waltzed in at normal time, I *know* she'd be looking for new day care as I'd term.
Why are you allowing this?

This here! OMG she has NO respect! WOW! I know you love DCK but you know what? Mom was gonna leave anyway as soon as she didn't get her way!

I would let her know TONIGHT she forgot your money and it needs to be at your door. I would also then term her immediately!

Oh my 17-month-old used the potty several times over the holiday, I guess she's trained, I'll start sending her in underwear to school. :confused::confused:

Why do parents think using the potty a couple times = potty trained? Taking her every 20-25 minutes? She had "a few accidents", how is that trained? I don't get it.

How crappy of her, and then to have an attitude? Yuck.

I wouldn't have even noticed how ticked mom was because of how ticked I would be at her blatant dismissal of my attempts to contact her.

Definitely wouldn't be keeping her unless she did some serious back pedaling AND massive apologizing.

[daycare]

Just read all that happened.

WOW!!!!

Curious to know. Did DCM say why she didn't call you back? What about the DCD??

[daycarediva]

Did they come today?

I would have emailed her a copy of my potty training policy, explained how serious the situation could have been when she was not returning my phone calls, and then depending on the response back, either termed or accepted her apology.

They showed up at normal time today, she was in a rush to get out the door. They did bring diapers! I have taken her to the potty a few times but it is a hit and miss. I really don't think she is ready to start. I think the only reason she is using the potty is because we are catching her right before she has to go. The reasoning was dad was in meetings all day and mom was on off site. It could be true but unlikely. I don't know if I'm going to term or not. The child is my youngest best friend. He was really struggling for the 2 weeks she was gone. So I'm having a hard time deciding. The parents forgot the check again so that's just more salt in the wound.
