I'm wondering if I'm the only one having behavioural/disciplinary issues/conflicts with their dhf? I'm getting very frustrated by the behaviours of a few of my dhc, two in particular are very defiant, talk back, eye roll, generally disrespectful, imo. I've seen first hand that these dhc's parents (two seperarate families) let this behaviour slide.
One dhp talks a good game, but generally has empty threats, so when this dhc is in my care we conflict almost daily as I do not tolerate disrespectfulness.
The other dhp has an excuse for any issues I bring up "dhc is tired" or "we just ignore it so the dhc doesn't get attention for it" I've seen on more than one occasion that this dhp allows dhc to talk, imo, extremely disrespectfully to them, and then caters to what they are demanding/having a tantrum about.

How do you find working with your parents towards a common understanding of behavioural expectations in place in your dh? I feel I make it very clear the expectations that I have, but that they're not being taken seriously, or respected. HELP! I don't want to just term the families.
