I was literally like looking at him and was like are you serious? That cant happen. I just cant... But for them to ask that an want to come over at times just to stay with their child i think is werid, just bring him home for goodness sake. I think they should just keep stayin home and take care of their own child now that i think about it. All the responses (although appericiated) make me even more scare. Okay thats it, they are out of here if they try to stay for longer than 3o min!!
We all made mistakes starting out. You will make many many more...lucky for you that you found this form while starting out....
I would just tell him what I told you. It is the truth. Let him stay 30, no computer and thats it.
BTW how many other kids do you have? Can you maybe do a circle time reading while he is there and just let him sit with his kid?
