Thank you ladies for your helpfull responses. I will have to have a talk with her so hopefully this week. I made the comment about cookies because as we all know ... you catch more flies with sugar than vinegar. She's a nice mom so hopefully she will understand and not want to go somewhere else.

Fortunately for me I do have a policy in my handbook that says that we go on walks and outings and we either walk or drive and if they don't want their child leaving my home or riding in a car then they can keep their child home for the day. So she knows that I go places with the kids and we take walks to the park (the SAME psrk that we would be driving to) but I'll also be adding 2 more trips a day.

She can agree or she can find somewhere else to go. I hope she chooses to stay.
