Monday... and tomorrow will be his last day. *sigh* I have had SUCH bad luck replacing my bad apple parents. It feels like I am destined to have two terrible clients no matter what!
Great interview, only one red flag was that they are leaving former daycare arrangement (center) over price. They were paying $50/week more than I charge, for 4 days. They were willing to pay my FT rate for 4 days also.
The kid is a doll. 4.5, going into K, eats, sleeps great, the kids all took to him right away. The parents read through my policies and emailed me for clarification on a few things, brought all supplies when they brought the forms, etc.
But....they lied. This kid is NOT potty trained. He is not even CLOSE to poop trained. He hasn't had a single pee accident until yesterday...he had 3. Didn't say a word either, just continued playing until one of the kids asked him if he peed his pants. Then about 10 minutes before pick up yesterday he pooped his pants. UNDERWEAR, no less. I had to have my dd and dh come help with the other kids to clean him up. It was grandma who picked up, first time I met her and she was LIVID. Not that he had an accident, that he was in underwear. He has NEVER pooped on the potty. Mom/Dad give him a pullup to poop in before his bath, he poops, they change him, and go on about their business. If he needs to poop, he requests a pullup at home.
4.5. NO developmental issues at all.
I NEVER would have taken this on had I known and I KNOW the parents are aware they lied to me. I JUST passed on a non potty trained 4yo.
I didn't immediately term because gma picked up, I didn't have the papers ready and I wanted to confront Mom tomorrow at drop off. (dck is not here today). I sent dcm an email that she has yet to respond to, inquiring about the status of his PTing, and telling her pullups are necessary.
WTH!!!!!!!!!

I would imagine since DCM mom lied she knew there'd be a chance you wouldn't take him if you knew he wasn't completely PTd.
