Sometimes I take the child right away to get the parent out quicker. Other times I wait until I'm done tending the infant.
Shouldn't the child be old enough to come in and be put down to play with the other children? What age do you expect them to do so?
Ways to address this issue?
Thank You!
I have a parent like this and the boy is the same age, I will literally be changing a diaper, feeding an infant or rocking a baby to sleep and they just stand there. I’ve made them wait to get my point across. But I usually say, you can just sit him down. Have a good day!
