So, I have this one set of parents that have been with me from the very day of opening my home family daycare. I really love the little girl and watched her grow, walk, and talk. I have been through late payments, late pick ups, and them questioning everything from cups to bibs. Every day dad comes in with some type of comment, issue, or complaint. When I see him pull up I will tell my assistant that I am taking the children to the potty just so I do not have to talk to him. At pick up this child will be the only and last one here and I will let my assistant be there when he comes and I will step out of the daycare room. I will of course peek out and say bye to the child. He was lingering for up to 30 at pick up which was becoming an issue. In the mornings he makes drop off so hard. Well, yesterday he came in and said he smelled something burning. I told him nothing was burning. He kept insisting that he was smelling smoke. Then he have the nerve to ask "Who has been smoking in here!?" Are you serious????? Ok first of all, no one smokes in the daycare room much less anywhere in the facility! Second of all, there are NO smokers who live here or work here!
Come to find out, my husband was using the smoke grill out in the back yard smoking chicken. I sent out an email asap to explain what he was smelling.
Well, I was so angry that they question everything to goes on. They have edited my handbook, policy forms, contract, and enrollment forms. They have picked up very late, paid very late, and arrive very late. I am soooo sick of the questions, comments, and concerns. I was even blamed for the child getting so sick she was admitted into the hospital for a week. I had been telling them for a week that she was really sick...they said NO its a cold the dr said so. Come to find out the child had pneumonia!
So, I talked to my assistant and we both agreed to give them a two week notice. Now, I feel really guilty. The mom picked up yesterday (which she never does) and I really like her and I felt bad. I was nice about the notice and basically told them that I felt like my services was not what they were looking for and I suggested they enroll the child into a center. A center has no family life involved and I felt like that is what they were looking for. That my goal is to see that the children as well as the parents are happy and I felt like they were not happy here any longer. Mom responded with a tad hateful reply and said we will be looking for alternate care asap.
I just hate to hurt peoples feelings....but seriously I cannot stand these people any longer!
