DCD reeking of cigarette smoke at pick up

[Other Mummy]

What do you mean about boundary issues? IMO it's none of our business to address his privacy in regards to smoking unless it directly is causing harm to your daycare/home. I hate the smell of poo and that directly can cause serious health issues if not disposed of properly but I can't stop that.

All kidding aside what a parent does in there own time is there business.

I have had boundary issues with this dcd from day one. Quick example: My door is always locked. The dcp's know this and totally agree that for security reasons, the door stays locked. When you come to pick up...you ring bell, I let you in. Easy Peasy. This dcd 3/4 times in the week, will try to open my door (jiggling the handle). He will pick up his child and linger. He will not leave even if his kid is dressed and ready to go. He will stand in my foyer, checking his phone,etc. That's just a few examples. The smoking concern is that a parent will come right after him, smell the smoke and think that someone in my household had a quick cigarette. The smell is that strong.

So yes, my home, my way or the highway. I have no issues with telling dcd to wait a few min. after JUST finishing a cigarette to come into my home. OR I can hand off dcb right out the door to him. Which I would prefer to do....

At pick up we were in the backyard and him and his wife came. So a moot point. I will address it when it happens again. at that moment.
