Ahhh yes...the lingering parent syndrome. I have a mum and dad that do this practically every time they pick up their 2 year old son. Not so bad when we are in the backyard, but when we are inside they HAVE to come in, sit down do puzzles, blocks, etc. Seriously?? Go home and play with your little guy
Last week we were just coming in from the yard when they pulled up. Instead of taking their son and getting back in car (he was already in his shoes and I had his stuff ready to go and handed it to them) they proceeded to head back into my yard"We're just going to enjoy the jungle gym for awhile...is that okay?" Ummm... no! I told them that unless I'm with the rest of the kids back there it is NOT okay. Mentioned liability issues (not even sure if this is true, as I have extra house insurance for my daycare...but whatever)
Had another mum who used to chat and chat and chat. I learned plenty about her dysfunctional relationships, her boyfriends sexual needs and then some. My ears were bleeding!! Thankfully, her daughter graduated to JK this September so no more "interesting coffee talk"
