Parent won't leave

[Bridey]

Can top that - 4 hrs a parent stayed with me... this was waaaaaaaaaaaaay back when I was green !

Whaaaaaaaaaat???

My parents don`t always arrive at the exact time everyday - so if they are ten mins early I can`t get round not letting them in when I am getting the kids ready to go.


4 hours! there really must be a story to go with that one,

An hour?!!!! Wow! I have a parent who used to stop for over 20/30 mins mins most nights now I just clap my hands together and say "Right! I've got to get on, see you tomorrow".....and she goes.

Just be tough and say -You have to go now as I have to get on and do things et etc. I don't undertand why people find it is so difficult, it's not being rude! lol

think i would be writing out a new policy about handovers, i have always done my handovers, in and out, at the front door, i explain to parents when they come to see me that this is how i work, i explain i dont have time at the end of the day for long discussions but the main reason is health and safety, as if the parents are all walking through the house in outdoor shoes with who knows what on the bottom then the babies crawl on that same floor.....aggie and kim said 80% of the germs on your floor is walked in from outside on your shoes!

I chat while I get their things together, chat while I help with shoes and coat , chat on the way to the door , chat as I open the door ......

It is all about body language. ( mine say's *** off ! )
