Weird Vibes

[KarenSue]

Do you ever just get weird vibes from dcp. I can't place a finger on it. They aren't rude but there's just something about them I don't like. They make me feel inferior or dumb or something. I've had their baby for 10 weeks now and I still dread dealing with them. Sometimes I wish they would just go elsewhere. They are first time parents.

I had a weird vibe about a dad at an interview last year. I took the family because I loved mom. By the time the kids started, Dad was out of the picture, and my "vibe" was spot-on...he was just as bad as I felt he was at the interview.

I'm a firm believer in trusting those vibes/feelings, good or bad. Go with your gut. If you think something isn't right about him, trust yourself and do what you think needs done.

I had a bad vibe with a mom. She was just not friendly like the other parents. She got mad because I didn't let her son call the shots. I didn't compromise because these were things that would have actually been out of compliance. One day her son made up a ridiculous lie and told it to his parents. He told the same lie several times and the story changed slightly each time. I didn't know this was going on until the dad called and told me. They believed the boy over me. I don't really want to say with the lie was but if I would tell you you will realize how ridiculous it was. They pulled him out. It was his birthday the next week and I asked if he could come back and get his gift from me and say goodbye to the kids. He came in and was very rude to me. He gave all the kids a hug and then looked at me and told me he was never going to see me again and was never going to come back! Hurt my feelings tremendously. Glad they are gone though.

Always listen to your inner voice. It's talking to you for a reason.

Sometimes I wish they would just go elsewhere.

That's easy enough to accomplish - just terminate their contract

I agree with the others, trust your intuition.

If you like the baby and need the client I would call them on it.Once I had a family,the mom was super stressed.Everything was an issue.Finnally I sat her down and told her that our relationship wouldn't work.They needed to trust that I was caring for their child appropriately .I said if they were not happy they should find someone else to care for their extra special snowflake. They backed right down and mellowed out.That being said if you are not comfortable give notice.I would say something like "Do to your apparent lack of trust in my care.Effective immediately I will not offer care starting Xdate". Good luck this job is hard enough with parents who are easy.
