[QUOTE=Crayola kiddies;8593]Well I have one parent who allows their child to make the rules and they come in and say "are you ready to go home?" and the child shakes their head and goes off playing so the parent waits ..... Sometimes 20-25 mins or MORE !!!! QUOTE]
LOL I have a parent who is somewhat like this. The mother picks up reasonably fast but the father not so much. It is really weird because I don't have time to sit there and wish them farewell that long but I also don't want to be rude and disappear and leave them alone. Plus I need to lock the door behind them.
So that means I am dragging whatever kids are left to the entranceway with me and we sort of have to loiter and hover in that area until the child leaves.
The father will ask the child whether they are ready to leave. Then the child runs off to play with the other kids. Then if I try to get the child (because I WANT THEM GONE) lol then the father tells me "it's okay - let them play for a minute"
I mean - really? The child was there playing all day. I do not need a parent sitting in the hallway while their child has a few more minutes running around over-excited and playing it up for their parent. And the parent will even stay and sing entire songs with the child -all while NOT getting ready and also reading entire storybooks to his child if his child brings it to him. WTH is that about?
It's not that I don't like the child but when the father is there the child becomes really excited by throwing toys to show the father and running all over (no running rule) or climbing things etc. It becomes child gone wild !
