Finally broke up with my old daycare

in June 2011 Moms

I said something to the effect of how we have family in town that are offered to watch her. Actually it's our friends mom that offered to keep her, not taking her up on that but I'll let DCP think whatever she wants. Also that DCPs home life is a little crazy right now.....sisters and their kids living with them and such that it would be better for all involved if There was one less person in the house to take care of.

Her response?  Ok.

Now the question is do I go back and pick up her sippy or just leave it?

    Leave the sippy. And actually, i would have been much more forthcoming about why i left.

    Kinda off topic but... 

    I get in trouble with DH about this kind of thing.  To spare someone's feelings I tend stretch the truth or make up a story.  I mean I contacted a whole bunch of local schools this fall and when I decided I told the rest of them when their admissions people called that our situation won't allow me to go back to school right now.  I mean that is really stupid right?  I couldn't just tell them I decided their school wasn't the right fit for me or they didn't offer what I decided I wanted to study (last spring I was debating between a few options).  I know would break up with daycare or a sitter the same way...the whole its not you its me thing...lol.  I'm working on becoming more forthcoming.  I really don't know why I'm not...and it's only when I'm rejecting something, any other time I'm all about telling people exactly what I think.

    I would go back and get your sippy. Just go all friendly and nice and say, I just wanted to pick up our sippy cause we forgot it and ask how she's doing and stuff. Then if you see her at the grocery store or something, you won't feel like hiding and it will be way less awkward and easier. Just a thought, especially since you were nice about how you left and didn't tell her she's horrible.

    I would leave the sippy if it was a cheap one but if it isn't or she has other stuff of yours (you may have forgotten a blanket or extra clothes) I would get it. Also I can see stretching the truth to protect feelings but she was doing something wrong and should be told so other kids don't suffer.

    I agree.  I think you can be forthcoming and truthful without being rude/tacky.  Especially in this situation where you were worried about your child.  She needed to know why you left as it's the only way she might work on what she is doing wrong.

    Agreed. I worry about the other kids in her care and that's enough to tell the truth.
