I Need Your Help!!!!!!

I kind of agree with BC about terming then. Mom can say all she wants the child eats at home. And honestly the child must eat at home or wouldn't be around! But my question is WHAT the child is eating at home and I am betting it is all junk. I just wouldn't want to keep being the one fighting the battle. That being said, I fully know it isn't always easy to just term, we do need money. So maybe start looking to fill the spot. We are not monkeys. If parents want providers who will act like trained monkeys, they can go to the zoo .

I have a family wanting in as we speak.... so if it came to that at this time I could fill the spot..... I just feel bad for the child..... I have hug concerns of things that are possible going on at home but I have no prof either way....It's just my gut instinct, and other stuff mom has told be regarding other providers and the school the sibling is attending.......

I get it. The problem with this job is that most of us who do it love the kids in care. But sadly at times our hands are tied. But you never know, in some cases a term may open the eyes of a parent. It is hard, because we can't make a parent be a parent, and that is frustrating!

I have one like this. He is 17 months. Only eats when I feed him. Most days he doesn't eat. Getting constipated too. I have talked to mom but she says oh he's fine at home. Yeah right.

Thank you all ladies..... you are all fantastic

I sent a note home with dad last night.. Stating that I would not be giving child puree baby food, and that I would no longer feed child, how ever I would still help guide and encourage child if needed.

Mom said nothing this morning regarding note, she did bring in left over dinner ( cut up fettuccine noodles in white sauce ).

Fingers crossed we'll see how this goes, said I would try for the week to make sure there is not a bigger issue......

Thanks again to you all....
