I do NOT mean this rudely but don't know how to phrase it nicer (
) so I'll just say what I'm thinking.......
So rather than really enforce your rules and expectations for the parent and using consequences, you are just going to adjust YOUR day and take the child earlier than you are even open?!
No wonder parents don't feel that have to follow rules....because someone else will "fix" it for them.
I am not saying you are being a push over but you kind of are....kwim?
Is there another reason that you don't want to insist that the mom follow your rules/policies? Are you worried she might pull her kid if you do? Are you not in the position to lose the income?
I'm just asking because I am trying to wrap my head around why providers make exceptions and adjustments for parents who break rules or don't follow policies that they (parents) signed up and agreed to.
