One mom is seeking advice after an alleged incident with her daughter’s daycare that left her fuming.
ConsultingSlate‘s “Dear Prudence” advice column, the anonymous letter writer describes her situation as a single mother to a daughter she adopted, whom she feeds formula to because she cannot produce milk herself.
And while the provider “seemed amazing” at first and has two children of her own, “On the first day when I pulled out the formula and bottles, [she]wrinkled her nose and said, ‘You feed her that slop?’ ” the mom recalls.
“I ignored the barb (I’m used to it), gave a quick rundown and went on my way,” she adds.

The letter writer then admits she isn’t sure what to do past switching providers, asking the column’s authorDaniel Mallory Ortbergfor guidance on whether to alert other parents and/or “make a huge blast on social media.”

“The whole point ofproviding daycare for working parentsis saying, ‘You can trust me to keep your children safe and well-cared for, and I will act according to your wishes in your absence,’ not, ‘As soon as you walk out the door, I’m going to raise your child how I see fit,’ ” he opines. “This is a huge breach of trust, a total violation and absolutely worth reporting. Please do it.”
“If you’re not comfortablemaking a big splash on social media, that’s understandable — this is a very dramatic case, and I can imagine it making a lot of headlines that you might not want to be connected with, but she should absolutely be reported for this,” Ortberg advises.
