I had a family give me notice that they were leaving and then decided not to send the kids back at all. They paid their two weeks, collected their belongings and left. You would think I would be upset, but I am not.
The funny thing is, I am so happy since they left. The kids were my two biggest challenges and my group is so much happier without them. The toddler was probably the worst behaved toddler I have ever had here, really aggressive and screamed half the day. The older child talked about killing the other kids here and pretended to shoot them, and me.
The parents acted all nicey-nice but made little passive aggressive comments or actions that were really petty. They gradually picked up later and later, never mentioned any concerns to me about my care, just up and left.
I feel like I did my other daycare kids an injustice by keeping them as long as I did. We all feel so much better now and I am feeling so much more relaxed and patient with the kids. Sometimes an unexpected change is a great change!
