Constantly bringing up stuff to the parents is not helping at all and more than likely, they may try to find a way to leave your care sooner because they will see your comments as complaining. They clearly are not going to address the behavior or help support any changes. Either you can deal with that or you cant.
That's what I'm thinking is that if I bring it up again that they will leave sooner. I would prefer to keep a constant eye on him and keep the income until September. I'm pretty full in September and really can't lose the $210 every 2 weeks right now. He really is just so bad that they are going to have such a hard time with him when he goes to preschool in the fall and grandma the rest of the time. They are leaving here because the days he needs in the fall, I can't accomodate so bye bye. I think since he'll be going to grandmas the entire time he's not in preschool he's going to get worse.
