I agree with you on all points!
No one is allowed to open the door - its even in my policies not to encourage the children but it is still happening and if I mention it, nothing is done.
My children would certainly not get away with this sort of behaviour but Mom seems scared to upset the child and avoids situations that may cause problems such as saying 'no'! I would be mortified if my kids demanded to go home when we were at someone else's house.
I have no such problems during the day - she is polite, does what she is told but I am always amazed at how children change the second their parents knock the door!
I will enforce some swift handovers and send out emails again about the door and if she does it I will physically intervene (and then fill out the form
).
Need to grow a pair and sort this today - thanks for the advice. (I have also noted the comment and the response and will get parent to see/sign later). It would be difficult to give notice as she and one of my other parents are best mates and I would lose 3 places not just the one.
