Thank you so much for taking the time to write all of that. Seriously, you should start writing books. What wonderfull knowledge you have and so powerful.
I feel much better now after reading your reply

LOL! Copy/paste....copy/paste.....copy/paste....I am going to have to do a "Works Cited" page at the end of my updated and rewritten policy handbook...

i would term immediately...and probably attach a bill for carpet cleaning from where the 4.5 year old pooped on the carpet!::

You should be dancing a jig. Gather up any stuff he has and send it home with him at the end of the day. You don't have to take care of him for 2 more weeks. You have grounds for immediate termination. A 4.5 yr. old boy is way too old to be having these types of accidents.

What's more, his folks will have a dickens of a time finding anybody willing to put up with accidents with a kid that old.

I agree with everyone. Let it go, it is not worth your time. I do not want to clean his butt up to get paid, that is disgusting. Truth is, I feel so sorry for his parents who are not grow up to be parents to their son. What a shame! She probably will find someone else and provider will tell her the same thing about his potty training since he is older. If he is going to school, no one will wipe his butt.

That is why I wrote in my policy about communication that is very important to me.

I have a whole page on communication, but this family has obviously NEVER read myb PHB. I am starting to feel a lot better thanks to all of everyones help..

Are you freaking KIDDING me?

That would wind it up for me right there. If that's what they think of you and your business, then good riddance to them, and who cares what they think?

Seriously - I'd let them go and never look back.

What she said!

I read that part about her telling you "I am being paid to wipe her sons butt." and said "Whoa!"

Kudos to you for not replying with what you really felt because I would have found that really hard to do!

She treats you like the stuff on her son's butt - good riddance - tell her to wipe it herself!

Anyone that lets a child go that long without even trying to potty train is negligent and downright lazy. It borders on neglect. If they have tried and failed, it's ok but you keep trying. The proper prize is usually enough incentive for the child to make it happen, especially at that age.

Chin up, stand your ground, you've done nothing wrong and it's their loss.

Forgot to say.. Nanny D - you are the bomb! LOL
