Tricks of the Trade

[AmandaKDT]

Most of my kids leave right at closing time and sometimes I think the parents are in such a rush to get out so I can start my evening off (which is really nice!) that they tend to do things for their child that they can do for them self!

I am meaning a 5 year old that all of a sudden can't put on their own boots or carry their own backpack.

This drives me up the wall! Especially when they have a huge whiny fit to get their parents to do it and then their parents just give in and do it. Meanwhile, during the day they do it all for themselves lickety-split with no issues.
