so yesterday I have two DCK that show up with mild cold symptoms. Slight runny nose and coughing. Nothing major.
One of the DCK was whining off on and through out the day that they did not feel good. However, would then go right back to boucing off the walls. Did this for most of the day and the child seemed fine.
Nap time comes and everyone is out in less than a minute, wow that never happens......So most of the kids wake up normal time exept this one DCK.
DCk wakes up at almost 4:00 while the rest of us carry on whith out day. When the DCK wakes, she is a mess. Whining and tantrum throwing. btw shes 4.5. So DCK finally says I want to go home I dont feel good. I place the call and dcm, but no answer so I call mom's BF who I know is home not working.
the BF answers the phone, sounds like he just woke up. I explain what is going on and I get yelled at for waiting to call for pick up until 4:30. BF goes on to say that I should not have forcerd her to stay here and that is just wrong. I should have sent her home earlier when she was whining.
I twll him that if I were to have to send a child home every time one whined, I would be sending kids home 10 minutes after they got here. I then go on to tell him that I will leave it up to them if they want to pick up early or not since there is only a few hours of the day left.
Again the yelling starts and says that I need to wake up and realize when a child is too sick to be at DC. BF then tells me I am coming to pick her up right now.
When the BF arrives, he's being very rude. I also had to explain the DCK was constipated and maybe they can give her something to help her to go to the bathroom. the BF says, "well I made steak and potatoes, so that's just too bad". I say nothing. As DCK is bouncing off the walls again, BF looks at me and says "wow she looks really sick, glad I was woken up to come to your rescue"....
So of course, i just smile and say see you tomorrow.... I am so taken back by this and feel so disrespected.
I want to talk to the mom about this, but not sure what to say or how to say it. the mom is super sweet and one of my best clients here. Always on board with my advice and really takes action in her child's life.
I don't want to throw him under the bus, but would you say something.
