I had been understanding for aboutthree months but one day I just said to the parent this has to stop it caused my other children to act out as though it was fine, and I had just taken all I could take of the mother hanging around causing matters to escalate daily. I told the mom over and over she is fine once you are gone she plays and enjoys her day. I got smacked, kicked and pinched not to mention the effect it had on the other children. I want to know am I the only caregiver that feels like some parents feel like this is a way to get the guilty feeling off them leaving your daycare upset and the provider hurt. I took all I could take them a miracle happen the child left after I said enough is enough. Please respond..Mrs.H Name: Email: Subject
