[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a provider and a mom this is my advice. Please take it with knowing that I mean well from both sides...

It sounds like they love your child, which is the goal. They clearly have a problem with you and have come to consensus on not liking you. As they care for your child each day, I understand that you want to have a good relationship. You all have clearly disagreed about parenting your child and this is not negotiable. Although they children spend days with other caregivers, they are YOUR children and your say is all that matters.

As a caregiver, I talk to parents and advice them when asked. If they don't follow the advice, no problem. I understand that they are the parents and have to live with their decisions. Our time with children is limited as caregivers and we should know our place as temporary fill ins. With that said, you need to repair the relationship. Do not remove your child from a room because the adults are having an issue. Figure out a way to address the ladies in the room, even if you have to call them all over at the same time. Be upfront, be honest, and be respectful. They seem to be doing a good job. [/quote]

Not OP, but this is sound advice. Thanks! We all can learn from this.[/quote]
