Not My Problem …. (Long Sorry)

What do you do with parents though that have joint custody? I know several families like that so wouldn't they both have to have a contract with the child care?

Even my married parents have to choose which adult signs the contract with me.

No different than my power or cable company...

Sadly about one in four of my contracted families end up divorced within the first 3 years of having their child.

I wish you luck in this situation. I sign one contract for each child. The contract is written for the child. I would like to thank you for all you are doing for this family. I am doing this because I am sure they do not realize what you are going through for their child.

My two cents are that an every day phone call would not work for me. I understand this poor little guy is going through the seperation too but I think it should be up to the parents to work this out and for the best interest of the child, he should be able to talk to mom with dad, unless its in court order. You should not be the referree. What if the mom bad mouths the dad and upsets the child, or what if dad wants you to moniter the call and let him know what was said?

I would say she can email or text you quickly to see how he is, or if there is a problem, but save the phone call for a nap time or something with just you. Good luck!
