I would judge a parent who did not inform me that their child was vomiting the night before.

I would give her a bill to place my rug and then we end and relationship. You for not get food poisoning from oranges or old peanut butter. I have eaten year old PB send no ill effects.

Op here: I don't think the oranges or peanut butter were actually bad. It's so bizarre. I hope it's not a stomach virus. I'm pretty sure I ate that same peanut butter about a week ago. I was very firm with the mom tonight. I explained she must tell me prior to coming in if her daughter is vomiting. She said she thought it was a one time thing and she would be fine.

When you find a new position, because that is obviously what you need to do, be sure to negotiate all of this upfront and have a contract. Vaccinations are key as well.

Not only is your house messed up, but now in the next few days or so, you AND your child will likely fall ill yourselves.

This parent should have stayed home today & cared for her own poor child.

Shame on her for not doing so.

Yes, you need to quit.
Let someone else deal w/this clueless Mother, I agree!

She ate expired peanut butter and expired oranges? Riiiight. That's not only improbable, but those are both foods where the food having gone bad would be REALLY obvious AND where food poisoning is unlikely.

Poor little kid. I hope it is good poisoning. Otherwise you are in for a rough week.


OP here. I recently found out she hasn't had any vaccinations. Her mom has been very unresponsive in general during the day.

How can you be 100% positive your 3 year old has food poison? MB thinks her child ate expired peanut butter and oranges. Lately I really feel like her mom is an idiot. She ruses to vaccinate and doesn't want her child going to preschool. She has no interest in starting potty training. Perhaps it's time to cut ties and let someone else deal with this weird parent.


Wow, no way....
