Is mom asking too much?

I agree - this is your business and you need to stand up to her.

In my daycare we eat when everyone eats, no teething rings and I am constantly on the little ones to keep things out of their mouths, changing the child into PJ's for nap - really!? 17 months old is old enough to be able to wait to eat and old enough to no longer need a teething ring.

Personally I would just discipline the child yourself and not bother telling mom of the behaviour issues. She obviously doesn't agree with you and likely won't change things at home.

I say give it a few weeks of you dealing with the issues yourself, if you don't see any improvement then terminate. Stop catering to this woman and her child.
