I got nothing. Not even a "Merry Christmas" from the parents of the child I kept on Thanksgiving and Christmas because the parents had to work and he would been in another daycare.

I only have 1 family of 3 kids; I made handmade blankets & also gave them a book that was all the same theme. They were all sick their last day before Christmas, so my DH went out in the rain on Christmas Eve and dropped their presents on their porch for them. I did not get one phone call or text from DCM saying thank you or that she even got them. She dropped the kids off yesterday morning without even a mention of the gifts or asking how our Christmas was. I asked the kids if they got my gift and they looked puzzled:confused:
I then said "Did you get your Lightening McQueen blanket Little Johnny?" and he said "oh yeah... I didn't know it was from you!". None of the kids even knew that the blankets and books were from me. So I asked DCM last night if she had gotten the gifts and given them to the kids and she said in a monotone voice "Oh yeah. Thanks. We got you a gift but we keep leaving it at home." I felt like saying "Don't even bother!" It doesn't mean anything if you don't make an effort at all to get it to me!!Comment

Yeah, I gave each child a nice gift. When my kids went to daycare, I always got the provider a gift certificate to her favorite restaurant with a card. This year I got a light up snowman from one family and nothing from the other two. No card, nada. We gave dd kindergarten teacher a card and $25 gift certificate because I am so thankful for all she does with those kids. I cant imagine why families dont think even a verbal thank you is necessary. Oh well, next year, I'll spend half as much or less on these kids.Comment

I agree with nannyd I would do nothing regarding Christmas. Have it obvious that you celebrate in your family however do nothing regarding gifts to children or to parents from children. I wish we didn't do anything in our center.Comment
