Would You Make Mom Do It?

I'd just roll with it because I have learned to pick my battles carefully when it comes to my income.

That said, a pick-up time "She just finished making that" (the "that" being a paper plate tambourine, filled with jingle bells, covered in loose stickers and glitter; for the ride home) may be in order.

Bwah ha ha! You're an evil genius.

I would do it myself. I have the same parent right now. I do not like to clean up after parents. Yesterday same DCM took DCG in to wash her hands so she could have a snack in the car and it looked like a water park in there when she was done. Even the DCK's know to wipe up the edge of the sink when there done so the next person doesn't get their shirt all wet. My other pet peeve is when parents bring siblings in at pick up and let them use the bathroom, one boy in particular has peed on the floor twice.

This has happened a couple of times before. Mom drops off dcg and says "She just peed" meaning her diaper is full. Very full. Would you have mom change her?

It is in our policies that the children come dressed and ready for the day and in a clean/dry diaper. Otherwise parent is responsible for changing child before leaving. I might tell them the first time, I will do it this time, but after this remember you will need to do it before you leave. And the next time take them to the changer table. So I suggest you tell mom ~ In case you have forgotten the child needs to be in a fresh diaper upon arrival or you will need to take the time to change her....and let her do it.
