Playpen With Higher Sides??? NAUGHTY 2 Year Old!!

[LysesKids]

I have a list a mile long and honestly don't know HOW I have hung on this long...seriously...yesterday he also threw a hard brush at my other dcb's head....last week he pulled a handfull of my 11 year old daughter's hair out because she was getting him down from climbing where he shouldn't of been, and swatted at my 7 year old daughter for no reason at all. He has thrown hard toys at my 7 year old daughter who is VERY kind to him, she has a heart of gold and asks for him to play with her a lot and he will play for a few min. before he's chucking a hard toy at her, FOR NO REASON AT ALL, she is the most gentle girl and out of nowhere he does these things.

Yes, he should of been terminated a while ago and I am holding on by a thread here...it really stinks, I shouldn't let money come in the way of safety, I really can't afford to terminate unless I get a replacement!

Look at it this way... you will be out even more $$ if other parents start pulling because this child injured theirs; What if your dd was at another daycare and was getting hurt - would you let her stay in that environment, I know I wouldn't. Your reputation will be tanked if word gets around about what's happening too. I termed a child like this last year (he was barely 18 months) - it hurt my income for a few months, but it let my families know I was watching out for everyones best interest. Money vs Reputation ... Reputation and sanity won in my home

I can't be the only one who cringes at the title of this thread, right? Lol

A fire place gate/room divider can section off a smaller part of a room...mine is 29 inches tall.

I'd also terminate. But I have a 2-year old that needs a taller gate and I was going to order one so she can have her own area when she's being more 2 than usual, but I think she'd vault over it anyway.
