      Couple weeks ago one of my dcks was acting sooo terrible, just off the wall out of control and he's much older than the OP's dcb. He wanted to go home. I called dcm, just to give her a head's up and maybe see if she might know what was going on. She said 'you want me to come get him?' I told her I didn't think it was a good idea because it might set a precedent. She agreed.
      Sorry I didn't mean to hijack, but I'm genuinely curious.
      I was thinking the same thing. I can see this boy being that way. At home he gets to play video games etc. But maybe if Dad has to leave work to come early get him it will get the point across. It's hard to know.

He doesn't say anything while in there and comes out and goes right back at it. I've also told him I'm in charge when he's here and he needs to respect what I say. He just gets more sassy and upset. And he's an only child so he enjoys playing by himself a lot.

        He just thinks everything is funny until I tell his dad. Then he gets sad and quiet. Dad blames it on mom. He was at his mom's all weekend and dad said it frustrates him when he comes back from his mom's and acts up.
        I don't tell them to go in there. I pretend like they REALLY have to use the restroom and I take them in there and have them sit down on the toilet and try to use the restroom. Often times they DO have to go (even if only a little bit) but that isn't why they were using the potty words so they are very confused...
        Soon enough, after no more than a handful of times for the most stubborn, they give up on saying potty words because it isn't worth the effort since they're going to have to go on a potty break because of it.

          I would implement a behavior plan IMMEDIATELY this evening and provide a copy to the parent. If you would like me to e-mail you what I use then please message me your e-mail address.

          It would outline that their child will be sent home after x amount of words each time. It also details how a provider can only do so much, in professional terms, and parenting falls onto the parent.

          Mine all result in a termination but you could take that out.
