Ive found out very quickly that my magic disapears as soon as the parent walks in the door. I don't even bother anymore, and often will joke about my magic not working as mom's powers are just too powerful.

The kids in my care DO act differently. One is a huge climber at home and doesn't dare climb here. Another moves chairs in front of cabinets, climbs up and helps himself, not here! Another will carry his stuffy around all day and don't dare take it away at home... here... it comes out at nap time and he even puts it away as soon as mom is out the door.

The understand my house, my rules. As far as the few min at drop off or pick up where I"m completely powerless? Mom's problem as far as I'm concerned.
