how do you make it work??
I tell them I don't like the fussing at the door. The kid doesn't fuss when you leave so leave him at the door.
My day care parents know me and know I don't do drama with the kids. I'm strict and expect them to behave. If they don't behave I have to deal with it.
I can only think of one time in the last five years I have had to do it. Lasted three days. The parents get really bored with having more "quality" time with their kid at my front door so they buckle up and put a stop to the behavior.
I'm willing to loose the kid over it. If it has to come to that it has to come to that. Some times you have to be strict with the parents. It's uncomfortable but it's SO worth it.
