Since she knows that you know about the posts looking for care, chances are good that she knows you know about the bashing posts. Those posts would be my issue, and at this point it would be expected to be brought up.

I know it can be hard to term as I just had to do the same and it was so hard leading up to it. But I felt so good after! I would just address her and say hey listen, x,y, and z. I cannot tolerate this. Last day is such and such. If not, and you just want to deal with it that is on you. I have dealt with a lot but was always upset I didn't term sooner. Especially after all I did for my dcm and she never even thanked me for everything just went complete psycho. Do what is best for you and don't look back.Comment

I did it. Handed her a notice of term and she lost it in my entry way.
I had to ask her to leave a handful Of times - she wanted to keep going on and on. I wasn't going to until pick up on Friday so she could go home and process. Thankfully no one was here yet and she finally left before anyone came.
It's over, Thank god.Comment

How I handled the same situation
I have been doing "this job" for 25+yrs. I'm looking to retire in the next year, so I might handle things a little differently than some.
About a year ago I had a mom come to me with a sob story. Her sitter quit last minute on her-she couldn't miss anymore work-she had no one to help out...the whole gambit of excuses as why her life was harder than anyone else's. I bent over backwards to help her out. The first day she was here her car even broke down and my son gave her a lift to work and then charged her battery for when she picked up. Many times I watched her kids late-or early-to the point I felt taken advantage of. I saw her post of FB she was looking for a replacement sitter because she wanted someone who could offer her (no potty trained) 3 year old more learning I waited till she showed up at my door the next day and gave her termination notice effective immediately. She missed work that day. Lost her job.Comment

You did the right thing and it is no longer your problem!
Breath a hige sigh of relief because you put your big girl panties on and did what needed to be done. We have all been there and we have all felt so much better after terming a difficukt and rude client.
Inhave learned more in my short time as a home daycare provider and business owner than I ever did or could out in the workforce. It made me become a better person for sure :hug:Comment

\This kind of stuff doesn't bother me too much. I never assume the worst, I simply assume they want something different. Different hours or different price or different policies, better location etc. I am a great provider so I don't take this as a slight against me at all.
I know one parent who switched providers who felt terrible about telling me in advance because they actually like me and think I am great and it is nothing personal. They simply wanted a provider that was closer to them and that had extended hours....something I wouldn't do. Not getting up at 6am sorry! I think they were surprised that I took it so well. It is a business afterall and families have to do what is best for them just like I do
Thats exactly what I was thinking, if they haven't complained at all that it probably has to do with location,price or hours.Comment
