I just havent grown my back bone yet. This definitely is starting the growth, because I've been going over every possible scenario in my head all day long. Jeeeshhh! You're all right. I do NOT work for her, this is a partnership. She is seriously slacking on her half while I am over giving on mine. Not fair to myself or my business. T-minus one hour til termination..... :PComment

Let us know how it goes. I hate leading into these things, but I most always feel better when they are done.Comment

Yes I would just let her go. She knew the rates and now she is taking advantage. She will figure it out.Comment

Well...I ALMOST chickened out and was going to call her after she got home but I balls-ed up and did it. I explained and she stood there for a minute, grabbed the pack and play and slammed my door. She still had a whole bag of stuff but of course DCD is going to come get it. Then I get these lovely texts :
DCD will get his diapers and cup. You wont see us again sorry for being a burden glad you have new kids and got rid of my son, that may i remind you LOVES being there. Thanks for everything.
Also I want all the the arts he has done, ill just delete the apps and please remove any pictures of my son on any sites, and phones. Dont want him used as an example as you have new kids for that.
Good LORD Im glad she is gone. What a nightmareComment

Just as a little tip... I have in my policies that any photos remain my property and by signing the agreement, it is understood that when a child ages out or leaves the program for any reason, I do not have to remove them. (Worded a little differently but the general idea is the same)
I could not imagine having to go through and remove all the pics I have taken with one dck in them.Comment

I'm sorry it was so dramatic...
She is definitely trying to use the situation to her advantage.
Take a deep breath and be glad it's over. She did this to herself.
You did exactly what I would have done in your shoes.
It's tough but it was necessary.
Move forward and appreciate the learning experience and the fact that the relief from not having to be so stressed when dealing with this family is yours to savor.

Phheewwwwww. My heart is still racing. If I have it in a text message that she gave me permission to use her son's pictures on my website and FB, do you think that's good enough?? I really dont want to have to do that. I honestly teared up a little bit. I didnt want it to end that badly/dramatic. She is 19 so she is SUPER young and I know she was acting on emotion and only emotion. Still ****s. I've gone to text her back 10 times but I'm not going to. I'm just going to leave it at that.Comment

"I want all the arts he has done"? Seriously? If a parent didn't take them home the day I handed them to the parent, they go in the trash-like we have a childrens' art museum in our basements to store all the stuff that the parents didn't bother to take home?
Glad things are over for you!Comment

A very immature attempt to send you on a guilt trip. I'm sure it was hard for you to confront her but the relationship with her would have only grown more and more stressful for you. The only text I'd send back to her would be to remind her or dcd to let you know when dcd is planning to pick the rest of their things up so you can be home to hand them off to him.Comment

"You are welcome to purchase his art collection. I'm planning on selling it to the Guggenheim museum but if you would like to make me an offer, I will consider it. Please let me know your best and final."Comment

Don't you just love it when the parents throw a bigger tantrum than the kids?Comment

I agree with everything BC and the others have said. You have nothing to feel bad about. She's put herself in this position. Besides, "grnadma" is apparently available to watch her child so she won't be in too much of a bind.
