    I totally agree with others that posted... Don't let this individual make you feel inadequate! It sounds like dcm was looking for a reason to pull her child out.
    Some people are simply not a good fit and it has NOTHING to do with the care you are providing! :hug:

      For whatever reason she was looking for a reason to pull the child. Sometimes dcmoms who want to be SAHM come up with ridiculous reasons that the dc is not working out to validate that they need to stay home. I agree that SHE has an issue, not you.

So, I am confused where she thought he had a black smudge on his sock. Maybe she should have taken a picture and sent it to me...
        No need to explain, blue skies- we all do things different. 😄
        For the record, you didn't want her judgmental behind anyway. If at 5 months, a smudged sock and "dingy" socks aren't happening, something is wrong. Kids. Play. Period.
        Kids have the greatest jobs on earth. To explore and discover this great big beautiful world. It's a messy, smelly, dirty job. But it's how they learn.
        Take a deep breath and move past her. :-)

          Glad she is gone... she is more trouble than she's worth. Count your blessings!

            I want to thank everyone for the wonderful support...Honestly, I was starting to get depressed over the whole situation but today I realize I am only human and I am worth more then that. I put a lot into my daycare...yes I make mistakes but dont we all

            As my little 12 year old daughter said....No one can make you feel bad about yourself unless you let them...I have a smart little girl happyface

            As wisely put by a 12 year old, I will not allow someone to make me feel less worthy then what I am...

            Thank you all for the support!!!happyface

              I thought of you last night as I was frying some eggplant and catching fire to the stove top. Good times.

                I was thinking of this thread over the weekend when I was cooking a roast in the oven. The direction in the cookbook said to roast it for and hour at 250 degrees and then for 15 minutes at 500 degrees. Thought it looked odd - I've never even seen a recipe calling for a 500 degree oven - but did it anyway. Within 5 minutes of cooking at 500, my smoke alarms were going off and my kitchen was all smokey! All I could think was, "Well thank goodness I don't have kids coming until Monday. Wouldn't want any smudged socks!"
                (The roast was delicious, btw but I'm not sure I'll ever cook it that way again!)::

                    Then she will find a new provider and baby will get a smudge on both socks! and, oh no...the sky is falling, the sky is falling!

                    You are better off if she leaves, but I know it can be hard when these things happen. :hug:

                      It is so hard not to take this job personally, but it sounds like ti is best for her to move on. I personally would be worried if my kids came home clean and spotless, versus messy or dirty from an active day.

                        Oh boy I needed the laugh. And in my house you can count on smudged socks we have lived here nine years but the landlord is not even gonna think about giving me new carpet.

                              Well, here is the update...

                              She never responded to coming and getting his things so they are sitting on my desk waiting till she decides to come get them. I assume that she thinks my dayycare is too "dirty" to use the three diapers and half container of formula. I have not heard anything at all from them...which is fine

                              I do know where they went and all I can say is good luck to her...they will NOT be there long I am sure...happyface regardless they will never come back here. I have replaced them and honestly, it is sooo much easier without an infant. (even though I loved him)
