I'd tell mom you tried and it's just not working out due to her attitude. Was a nice offer to extend, but if it's not working it's ok to wave the white flag and pass the responsibility back to the parents.
(Since capri pant season is over I am in yoga pants full swing.
Always paired with a respectable sweater or fleece pullover of course but I figure daytime pj wear is my given right as a daycare provider lol
The only line I won't cross is those nasty thin skin tight leggings that reveal EEEEEVERything or the lounge pants with cheesy/dorky patterns
