I just wish for the time when parents didn't cave in to their child's every whim. This a.m. dcg comes in and decides she wanted to bring something she had earlier told her parent she didn't want to bring. Instead of making this a teachable moment and the parent telling child they had made the decision not to bring the item, therefore, she needed to deal with not having it, the parent texted the other parent to bring item to d/c so child could have it. Sure enough, 20 minutes later other parent shows up with item and proudly gives it to child and looking at me as if saying "see what a wonderful parent I am?" The kicker is, the dcg never even looked at it and I stuffed item in her back pack to take home.
I just want to see some parents grow a back bone with their kids and let the kids feel consequences for their actions.
