Some parents..

She's lying to you. She's taking the kids from bed to car and not spending any time with them in the morning. She thinks she came up with it on her own but that "he didn't want to" line has been used for decades and it's VERY common words to go along with the laziness of not getting your kids up and ready for day care.

You can tell her that your policy is that kids MUST come fully dressed and changed every day for day care or you charge a five dollar per kid "morning readiness" fee. That needs to be paid daily upon arrival if she would like for YOU to get them ready. That is the fee per kid.

The next phase is she will have them sleep in their daycare clothes and bring them wet or dirty and tell you that they pooped or peed on the way to day care. Tell her BEFORE she starts this that the fee is charged whether the kid is dirty or wet from their home or on the way. Tell her that usually when this happens that kids will start pooping and flooding their diapers on the way to day care and the fee applies if they don't come to child care clean, dry, dressed, etc.

She has the option to stay home with them in the morning until they are "ready" to get dressed or she can pay someone else to do her job. If she wants to hire it out you can make a cool ten bucks a day for something that will take ten minutes. Win win
