    I used to do daycare in a separate home. I had one mom who would pick up right at 6PM when I close. She would stand on the doorstep like a two year old with her legs crossed and say "Sorry! I HAVE to use the bathroom" She would trot off and her 3 year old (and over-indulged) would follow and cry outside the bathroom door. mom would open it. Then I would hear "Oh leave that alone sweetie!" "Don't open the drawers!" It was the daycare kids bathroom and nothing dangerous in the drawers etc...but the kid knew better.

    Her mom would then send her out.

    Meanwhile, my son and I were by the door waiting to go home. Girl would then start taking out toys...... mom would come out of the bathroom and cheerfully exclaim "Oh we can't do that sweetie! let's clean up!"

    Etc.etc.etc........

    I stopped it cold by locking up and being outside waiting with the car running. She would say "OH no! I needed the bathroom!" I just smiled and said "Oh sorry! All locked up for the night and alarm set! (We didn't have one ) You're only 10 minutes from home!

    She gave up asking after a couple times.

      Oh yes, all of that. Mine lived two blocks away. SA sibling had to use the bathroom almost every day (for #2!) after getting off the bus by their house. Grrr. Go. At. Home. I mean, really, what is that about?
      It seemed like they were marking their spot.
      No! It's MY spot
