Just a question.....Why do you have them bring Tissue? That is just a normal expense of running a child care in my opinion. They bring wipes, diapers, bum cream.....anything that is specific to there child, but Kleenex is needed by everybody. I just stock up and get whatever brand I like. As far as bringing items for craft, I would just ask her to stop bringing them unless they are cleaned or free of rips, because they are not usable. Sometimes you have to be direct and if she says you can wash them, you tell her, no, I don't have time for that and you'd rather her not bring them if she doesn't have time to rinse them.

Sounds like you are both tired of each other. I was in that situation. I couldn't wait for them to leave (the parents) and once they got accepted into our town daycare they were outta here. It was time for us both to move on.
