Thanks everyone for the suggestions! What I did end up doing was calling mom that evening and let her know that he had a small accident and was a little nervous about telling them...dcd does most of the pick ups and I didnt feel it was fair to dcb to tell while he was standing there after he asked me not to. yes, i do have a contract with the parents to look after their son. however, this is not a 1yo baby. this is an almost 4.5yo very intelligent little boy. as far as im concerned, having his trust and respect is very important in my job.
