I am not trying to make trying difficult for him in anyway. I tried not to write a novel but there are so many branches that stem from this tree. This is just the one that makes me feel enough is enough.
I once had a mother who requested I log anything in the event that it turn into a bruise on the child's legs. So, I created a "Bruise Log" and I required that she also log any fall that may turn into a bruise. Child was with me 3 days a week and her 4. I logged all bruises the first day, sent home the professionally made folder with Bruise Log so she could also use it at home, and never saw it again.


I wouldn't be CALLING any parent unless their child was in serious medical danger. I wait until the end of the day, hand an accident report, have them sign a copy for the child's file, and call it good. It is to cover my rear. It is not required by the state. If he wanted a copy of any accident reports I would tell him to ask Mom to make it for him.
