Parent Tells DCK That I Don't Like It, So That's Why We Don't Do It

[Crazy Baby]

I know this may sound nit picky, but I am having a tough time lately with everything it seems and I need to vent.

This kid is always running crazily throughout the house or he will kick my front door really hard (to knock) when he arrives in the mornings. This DCM is always telling her kid "don't do that because Daycare Provider doesn't like that!" Well how about, "we don't run in the house because it isn't safe." Or, "it is not OK to damage other peoples' property."

She is making me seem like the big bad wolf here because the kid just thinks I have all these rules and he can't have any fun. I am sorry but this has been eating at me.

"Don't kick the door. Mommy will be very unhappy if she has to pay for the repair man to come. You don't want to make mommy sad do you?" I tend to be sarcastic

When mom says "Miss DCP doesn't like that" I would respond with the response you would like her to give. "We don't run in the house because it isn't safe" Maybe if the mom hears you correct her enough times she will take the hint? How old is this child? Have you had him long?

The child will be 3 in a couple of months. He tends to do things that he normally wouldn't do here while his mom is here. I have had him for almost a year now.

I would say "Your mom is right, I don't like it because it will scratch my door." "Your mom is right, I don't like it because I don't want you to get hurt or hurt someone else."

me too...

But I agree, continually correct mom in regards to the REAL reasons and she may start rephrasing it.

I also don't care if parents try to make me the bad guy in cases like this... it's MY door and I don't like it. I don't care if the child really knows why or not. Its MY door. End of story. Go home and kick mom's door.

yea - I am good with being the bad guy.

"True story! Ms. CC doesn't like that. Thanks for respecting my rules! High five!" ::

I would keep repeating Kicks door -answer "well its rude to kick peoples doors".RUNNING -its rude to not obey the rules, people can get hurt".Saying its rude should get moms attention.

😅 This is so true! Dcp not wanting to parent.

:: Maybe you can say "Don't kick on doors....I'm sure your mommy wouldn't like you kicking and damaging her door either [literally wink at mom]."

Or "No running in the house. I'm sure you respect your mom's rule to not run at her house, so don't forget to use your walking feet here ."

Those responses are a little sassy, but I'm sure dcm would get the clue .... I hope .
