Holy crap - dc situation explained

[raynes]

I just talked with our dcp and she can no longer run the dc.

When she was last closed for the week unexpectedly it turned out that she and her baby daddy decided to split up. Since then she's been trying to get him to move out, which has apparently not been going well.

She left the house (that they rent) with the kids this weekend so he could leave, which he apparently did not. She went back today and he assaulted her.

So now the police are involved and she can't go back to the house. So clearly no more daycare.

I feel bad for her. She's young (23?) now with 2 kids (4 and 1) with nowhere to live (currently away her moms) and no job. As flakey as she'd been, she was really great with Owen and he really did seem to like it there.

That sucks! I wish she would've given you more of an idea- I know it's personal but she has canceled so much. I don't know what I would've done in that situation our jobs are not that flexible!

[carawestt]

Oh, poor girl. That's a sucky situation.

[formerlyllizzyb]

Oh I am so sorry for her (and you!)

[raynes]

Now it's like a 2 kid trial by fire. It does look like there are a few more home daycares in the area with openings, and I'll give the centres nearby a call too. Because I love my son but I think I'll need a break.

[thedahliharpa]

That's awful. I hope she gets back on her feet soon. Finding someone new sucks but you will find someone great.

[Deleted]

Oh no! What a horrible situation! I'm glad she got out though. I hope you can find daycare asap!

[steph196]

That's a really crappy situation. I feel bad for her, but it sucks that she didn't give you more warning.

[shevacc]

That's terrible. I hope you find a new daycare you love soon or that she gets her feet back under her fast enough to reopen.

[jenbelle]

I'm sorry for both of you!!!! Good luck with the search, fingers crossed you find a good place!

[bean47]

That's terrible. I hope you find a new provider that you like.

[sandj82110]

Wow, that's scary. I'm glad she's safe and thank goodness nothing happened while O was there. Good luck finding a new place, I hope you can do so quickly.

[imimahoney]

What a horrible situation. I hope she is able to get back on her feet fast.

I'm sure you'll find an awesome new DC that Owen loves.

[careyalis]

That is so scary. I am really glad that Owen is out of there for his well being, and I hope that she gets the help that she needs!

[melmon0417]

That is such a horrible situation! I hope she is able to get her life sorted out, and that you are able to find new childcare fast!

[silverjm]

How awful. I hope she's able to get back on her feet.

[christidee]

That's terrible.  I hope she can get back on her feet and that you can find a new place. 

[jamaga2583]

Jeez... That's awful.

I hope you find something new pronto!

[breezy8407]

What an awful situation. I hope she can get out.

And I hope you find someone/somewhere you are happy with!

[jfh]

Oh my gosh, that's horrible! What a terrible situation. I hope things work out for her in the long run and that's you're able to find a good alternative.

[Na]

Whoa well that explains a lot! I hope she stays safe and you find a new place for O soon!

[lolaburns]

This is awful. I hope she is ok and you can find reliable care for O!
