Getting ready for a scolding...

[Lou]

I could care less whether she pulls him or not. It was a last minute thing where they wanted to send him somewhere 1-2 times per week, so this income was not needed. This little boy is very sweet most of the time...and he's a smart cookie too so I know he is fully capable of behaving. I agree that all the children have the same rules and need to behave in a respectful manner.
I am more than willing to work WITH Mom on this issue together...I have a feeling the question "He's only 2, what do you expect?!" BS is going to come up to which I will respond, "The same way the other 3 two year olds in my care behave during meal times" lol.
Pick up time is at 12:30, when there is little time to chat as I am working with the other children to get ready for "quiet time", but I have mentioned it to him a couple other times that he is spending more time asking to get down than eating. Dad always asks what I served and I tell him and he's always so confused because it is things that he would like. He also mentioned that he has become very picky at home, and totally treats him like a little baby.
Ugh, oh well. I hate these kinds of conversations where I know I will end up feeling like I am defending myself.
