I Am One Of Those People....

I was telling a provider friend about this and asked her what her "go-to" method is for shuffling out chatters and she said,

Oh, that's easy. If I get a lingering parent, I will tell her since she wants to hang out, I will put her to work. I then hand her the wet wipes and a couple diapers and tell her it's diaper changing time and since most my kids have their biggest BM's in the mornings, I am glad she is able to give me a hand. Most of them suddenly remember they need to get to work on time.

She said sometimes she will start bagging up the garbage and will hand it to mom and say "Will you drop this in the garbage can on your way out? Thanks"

She said most parents don't want to stand around holding a stinky garbage bag so they leave FAST! LOL!!

LOL, I'm thinking the methods Blackcat mentioned should cure even the worst of chatters.

This is your best bet. (talking to her)

I have one that has done this since day one......my last kid to leave. She wants to know all about her day, she will tell her hold on Glenda, Mommy wants to hear all about your day. She then goes through, what she ate, and engages the child in this conversation as well even when the child is clearly ready to be done and wants to go home. My menu is posted. How was her nap? Did we use the potty? What did we do today? Last kid of the day. I want to go HOME. This is directed towards me but she engages the child at the same time. UGH-

Here is the kicker this parent is a good parent. She truly wants to be active in her little girls life and daily events. It gives her something to talk about with her on the ride home. It gives her something to report to Daddy that they can both engage with child. I feel very stuck at times, because come the end of the day I want to go home.

I find that I get caught up in chatter because I truly like this parent, but inside I am screaming to myself that I just want to be done.

I have addressed the issue in my newsletter, but it still continues and I don't know how to be blunt with out hurting someones feelings or my own for having to be that blunt.

Parents don't understand or think about that you are there before they go to work and you are there after they pick up the child. You want to end your work day too! It is something that frustrates me to no end.

I admit I get caught up in it especially on Fridays, because I find myself asking any big plans for the weekend after I have been asked. For ideas for my own family for future weekends and I am sure vise versa with her also. I don't want to come across as cold to my parents, shhhoooing them out the door but come the end of the day I am so ready to be done. I don't want to make small talk with the same exact thing that happens every day.

If you find a way to make this work please share. I don't have it in me to be bold and blunt as to hurt the feelings of another- even in the process of my own madness inside of me.

The last kid of the day is the killer part of this-

For future interviews this will be stressed highly. At this point it is hard for me to implement being a hard @ss about it seeing how I have put up with this for so long and all the reasons above. One of those things that you pick your battles and this one is not a top priority even that is drives me personally buggy. I also find I contribute to it too......ugh!

I found a solution, for now anyway. When I see her coming in I get all the kids together and we line up for bathroom break, so as she is signing him in/out I'm helping one of the dcks in the bathroom!::

I would do something like this if it wasn't the LAST kid........ugh That is the problem, I have no distractions. I blame myself too-
