How To Get Mom Out Of Here

[lovemykidstoo]

Update, the boy has been much better. I stand about 2 feet from mom when she walks in the door and he started to run a couple of times and I have reached out and got ahold of him and said, nope, time to go, Sheri is very tired today. Seems like that is really being effective. He's not running so much lately.

That is good to hear! Is mom at all stepping up and trying to atleast be responsible for her child?

A lot of times things do get solved when the provider steps up and gets strict about things but that makes me kind of sad sometimes too as some of the issues we have as providers have MUCH more to do with the parent not doing their job....kwim?

I am glad to hear though that he isn't tearing up your house anymore!

I still don't trust him to not run, so that's why I stand right there and NO mom is still clueless. She doesn't say anything when he starts to run and says nothing when I get ahold of him. Of course this is the same one that started in September and continues to try to just walk in the house, which I don't allow. I always have my door locked for security reasons and I have told her that. She continues to turn the door handle though. She actually did find it unlocked last week when another parent was here. The parent and his child were standing right inside the door and it was her lucky day. She tried the magic door and it was unlocked, so in she walked, without even a knock. Well she about hit the poor little boy in the head with the doorknob she came in so fast. I started yelling, whoa whoa whoa and said, just a minute, Dolan is right in front of the door. I was not happy about it. If he was standing another inch to one side she would have hurt him. UGH!

When it is Spring, Summer and Fall(nice weather out) I meet parents outside. Once they come, I say bye, and walk away. Then I try and have child ready at the door for them, shoes on, coats on, etc....
