Cleaning Up And Parents Arrive....WDYD?

[daycare]

How old is the child? That would have been the end of the beads for her for sure - at least for a while. I think in that situation I would have said when DCG ran to DCD "Oh, Dad's here. You need to hurry and pick up the beads so you can go home" before allowing another option to enter the equation. I've had to do this with one family that had a tough time with appropriate responses (in my opinion).

...unless this was the last pick-up on a Friday night

Lol it was the last pick up on Friday night. I think I am going to let it go this time but will have a talk with DCM as she is alot more into parenting that dad is. It seems like most of my DCDs are very lax on parenting the child.

Thanks for all of your responses
