I'm here with another dilema that I can not solve on my own so please offer me any advise you all may have.
So 2 months ago I enrolled a 2 yr old little girl her Mom seems so nice and I was told by someone she was a good person so I thought great because I never get to have a reference on new clients! Well my first realization she wasn't that great was on payday the 1st week. She is a subsidized client so she only pays a portion which I allow, as I do everyone else, to pay at the end of the week. Well she ignores the receipt 3 times so I finally hand it to her and ask for payment. She then tells me she can only pay at the end of the month because that's how she is paid. Now we went over this at the interview and she agreed to pay at the end of the week we even entered her total and signed the contract. Being that 75% of the payment will come from state I overlooked it and just noted it in memory because I highly doubt she is being honest, she works 2 jobs no way they both happen to pay monthly.
Next problem is she dresses her child in skinny jeans which I have to pry off many times a day and tug back on. Even worse is she has this 2 yr old in Pull ups so I have to totally remove the tight pants to get a new pull up on. She is not potty training her until she is 3 but that is in 2 months. No way will DGC be able to get these pants off! Pull ups have to be worn she says because DGC will take the diaper off and it will move around under her pants. UGH!
Last and major problem is this child pulls poop out of her diaper and plays with it like play-doh!! I try to get to her as fast as I can but now it has become a game because the other children are grossed out and run away making her want to chase them with it. The first time she did it was during nap. She woke up and was lying there watching my bird play in it's cage. Finally I noticed a smell asked her if she pooped and she said yeah and pulled her hand out from under the blanket and had molded poop in her palm! She got it on the kids couch and blanket. She has long nails so it was shoved up under her nails and the smell made me gag until I threw up when I was trying to clean her up! I have been changing kids diapers for decades and never got sick or gagged like this. I couldn't get it all out from under her nails because she won't let me. She has done this 3 times now, about once a week maybe. As if that wasn't disgusting enough, when I confronted the Mother after this first time she laughed at me because I was still gagging as it had just happened 10 minutes before she came. My teen yelled at her saying it's not funny (he is already a germaphobe) which made her laugh harder! I then spoke up and said I don't find this funny I find it disgusting and a risk to everyones health. She laughed some more and said "Oh I forgot to tell you she does that we call it show and tell" OMG!!!

REALLY?????
So I calm down and tell her it's unacceptable and can't happen again. She then sniffs DCGs fingers and says yep show and tell. :confused:
I said I couldn't get it all out she will need to soak in a tub maybe clip her nails to help. DCM says it's fine it will come out in the shower tomorrow morning she showers with me.
TOMORROW??? GAG!! This poor child will eat dinner with poop under her nails?? So then DCG says she pooped Mom looks and sees nothing so she shoved her hand down in DCGs diaper FAR then looks at her fingers and said no she didn't
WTH is wrong with this woman?? My son then hands her a clorox wipe she declines so he hands her a baby wipe she again declines. He said but you just had your fingers in her butt. DCM said yeah but there's no poop so it's fine besides I have been changing diapers for 14 years I'm not afraid of a little poop. Saddest part now is that this woman works in the food indusrty prepping and cooking meals!!!
if she doesn't care to wash her hands after being in a child butt crack then Lord only knows what else is on her hands.
Usually she has other people drop off and pick up so I only see her once or twice a week thank God but now I wonder what is on DCGs hands every day at arrival. Did she play with poop that morning or the night before and not been cleaned? What do I do to stop her from playing with her poop since DCM doesn't find it offensive at all?
