Would you call for a child to be picked up ?

I don't care if the child figures out that she could use bad behavior to get her mom to pick up.

I also strongly disagree that some days, this kind of thing is just part of the job.

It's not part of my job. Like nschildcare said, I don't parent a child and if a parent doesn't do their job, then I can't do mine.

I provide care. Care for kids while their parents are working or in school. I don't solve behavioral issues outside the "norm" and what this little girl is doing is not normal behavior for a child her age. It's rude and unacceptable. I would NOT tolerate it one bit.

Some where, some how, this little gal has gotten the impression that this behavior can happen, be repeated or whatever. THAT is on the parent, not me.

Every time this child was out of line or that rude to others, (especially the "whatever" sassiness to the provider....HOW RUDE AND DISRESEPCTFUL!!!) the parent would be called and the child sent home.
