I would schedule a time to sit down with her and go through the contract and address each of her concerns. However, I wouldn't change policy for one parent. I wouldn't ever, ever agree to be calling someone before we went to the park or for a walk! That is a ridiculous waste of time...leave a note on the door or make sure that they have your cell number if they need to pick up early.

The other big thing here is this...she needs to understand that YOU are in chage. It is your house, your business, and your policies. If you let her change this contract she is going to feel free to change whatever else she likes as well.
