Dad went back to work and grandma can't handle it. Mind you, grandma enrolled dcg before dad even started working.
Grandma drops off today, first day, shows up early
and as she leaves I say Have a good day! She replies Oh, I will. Good luck. 
LOL
So far dcg is a good cleaner upper and although she isn't shy at all, she is so far being a good listener and playing pretty well with others. Time will tell.

Grandma said good luck?! Sometimes kids act better for non-family members....sometimes not. Hopefully the child continues to behave for you!

I get that a lot from parents/grandparents. I even get warning texts before they arrive saying their child is behaving horribly and is cranky/moody/etc. Grandma said good luck?!

My new kiddo is having some issues with drop off because he has never been in daycare before. When Mom drops off, he cries when she leaves. I get that a lot from parents/grandparents. I even get warning texts before they arrive saying their child is behaving horribly and is cranky/moody/etc.

He didn't bat an eyelash.
