Buy what is needed and add the cost (plus an inconvenience fee) to the next payment due from the parent.

Make it part of your business to supply everything, but charge for the convenience.

This!
If you have requested that mom bring some additional or different supplies and she has not, then INSIST that she does. It is YOUR business.....sometimes parents need to be TOLD not asked.
I don't buy anything extra.
My parents bring wet wipes, tissues, sunscreen and bug spray. I give them a list of acceptable brands and they can choose which ones to buy.
I don't make it hard....just don't bring the really crappy kind. kwim? There are some really good generic brands out there so they have lots to choose from.
