nannyde - I agree with you completely, in fact I copied it to memorize.

missnikki - I agree with you too

In the interview, in my sweetest voice, I tell parents:

When the time comes and their child starts to whine or act out when you are dropping them off, I will say to you in my special voice "Good bye mom" and that is your cue to get out of my house. You are welcome to linger outside for as long as you like, but if you peek around and your child sees you, they are going to work with you.

Then the first time it happens I say "good bye mom", take the child and walk away.
