Do you find your 'house rules' differ greatly from your day home families?

[5 Little Monkeys]

I don't tell them of every issue I have here but I do tell them if they get a time out or if the behaviour is happening constantly. I don't think it's right too not tell the parents and have the parents think that their little janey/jonny is an angel because the dcp never has an issue with them.

The last group of parents I had was very on board with how I did things and would often ask what I did here as a consequence because they would do that at home too to keep things consistent with their child. They realized that their child spent more awake hours with me than them and were respectful of that. They were all older moms though and I think that may have been the difference. This new group is all young moms except for one and they do not discipline at all IMO from what I can tell. There are a couple dads that try but I don't think they get very far.

I also am more strict than most of the parents but we have to be when we have a small group to look after. I don't want the bad behaviour to spread!
