    How to handle siblings of dcks?

    I have 2 dck's who have 5 year old brother who comes with his parents to pick up.They come into my upstairs and come downstairs to the daycare play room. Pick up with dcm is horrible none of the kids listen to her. Last week when she came it was pay day and I forgot to look at her total before I went downstairs.
    I run upstairs to give it to her and the 5 year old is jumping on my sofa holding one of my dogs bones, so the dog is going nuts trying to get it. I came around the corner and didn't even think, I yelled his name really loud and said you need to get off my sofa right now and get your shoes on. Dcm did not say one word. I gave her the amount and she kept yakking like nothing happened. So I didn't say anything else. When dcd picks up the kids are some what better behaved, but I don't know for sure because I don't come upstairs to see them off.

    I want to say something to dcd about this but my daughter says that what I run by her was rude. I wanted to say look dcd, I caught 5 year old jumping on my sofa and I don't like that. You aren't going to be able to bring him in with you if he continues to not listen. I have also caught him on my carpet with his shoes on, but dcd gets after him and makes him listen.

    I need someone to give my a response that is not so blunt.

    Don't let them in the house at all. Tell the parents that your insurance doesn't cover children inside your home that aren't enrolled. It doesn't cover the enrolled children in your home if there are children on site who are not enrolled.

    Tell them it's too much of a liability to have them in your home in case something would happen to the other kids or your property. It's not personal... it just affects your ability to insure the other children.

    I don't allow my son to have anyone on the property when I'm operating. I sure wouldn't allow a sibling day care kid onsite.

    You have to understand that the Mom LIKES having them come in and run amok. It's exciting to her. She loves to see them do this. It buys time every day when she can have them do something really fun where she doesn't have to watch them and doesn't have to PAY. She's doing it for HER. That's why she ignores them and draws out talking to you for as long as you will let her. Just think of your place as a free Chuckie Cheese Quickie for the Mom.

    If they can't trust the kid in the car buckled in then they need to pick the one you have first and then go get the kid.
