DCP Bringing In Mail

[KIDZRMYBIZ]

If it were me I would just go get it myself every day until she stopped trying. It isn't something I would allow. And, yes, it is a federal offense to tamper with or remove contents of someone else's mailbox (my father retired from the postal service after 44 years as a carrier, so I know this to be true).

A daycare friend of mine used to have this problem, too. It highly annoyed her, but didn't know how to address it without sounding ungrateful or witchy...until she found their cc bill/statement laying in the lawn, and it looked like it had been there for a few days. Then she was livid, and posted a note on her front door that mail was to be left in the box, thank you for cooperating.

If all else fails you could get one of those mailboxes that has a lock on it

most post offices wont let you unless it is a shared community box. I asked

Wow, that is weird. I would not like people doing that. That is MY mail. I do not want someone else touching it. What if you were waiting for a check or something and she had accidentally dropped it?? You never know. I just want to be responsible for my own mail.

Now I have had people bring up my trash and recycling cans from the curb! That is one I always appreciate!

It would bother me if one of my dc parents took it upon herself/himself to bring my mail to me. We often have packages left out on the front porch and I appreciate it when parents bring those in for me when they come in but I wouldn't like it if they walked out to my mailbox and got my mail. There are just some boundaries you don't cross and that feels like one of them to me.
