So I pulled out the contract on DCM last night at pick up. I also shared the medical information from the website.
At first DCM started to argue with me and tell me that she thinks that i am taking it over board. I told her that I felt that there was nothing normal about a child being in care for 8-9 hours a day and not consuming liquids or producing any wet diapers, or only 1 wet diaper for the entire day.
So she kept arguing with me when I finally said. Well I am sorry if you don't agree with me, however, I am requiring that you take him to the doctor and have a written note from the doctor telling me that he can be here all day without consuming any liquids or produce wet diapers. Once you have that in writing from his doctor he can return, or you can follow this plan that I have written up. the plan is 14 days for both parents and provider to transition to any type of cup but a bottle. If the child does not consume at least an ounce or more an hour, then the parents will be called to come pick him up. If progress is not made during the 14 days, care will be terminated.
DCM said, I have to work tomorrow. I told her sorry this is where this situation stands and this is what will have to happen if he wants to come back. She was so mad.
So he is not here today, sister is. DCD did not say anything at drop off.
