Having so issues with parent

[DCMG]

I guess I am going to play devils advocate here...this is a first time Mom who is leaving her baby with a almost stranger. She is probably feeling like she is being helpful and it may not be coming across in the best way. Maybe ask her if she would feel better sending meals and ask her to write out a schedule that she follows at home. I find with this type of parent they are hanging on to their child by trying to have you follow their schedule to a "T". Let's be honest here...does she really need to know her child went to be at 7:30 and not 8? This is not an easy business but in order to successfully help people raise their children there has to be an open line of communication.
