Thank BlueRose,

I do all of the above. My problem is not so much dealing with the behaviors and parent issues it's more about the weight it's put on me and my daily stress. Right now I'm waiting for him to arrive and I'm stressed about what mood he'll be in and what type of day I'll have with him. I've had successes with his behaviors but it's taking way longer because when he returns home it gets undone. I also feel like every unpleasant little "tick" or "phase" he picks up the parents are blaming the daycare environment. Not geared towards me but they are definitely making excuses for this child. Anyway ... I knew when I went into this with friends/family I would be okay with enforcing my rules but I did not expecting to have so many frustrations and stress. It's one thing feeling disrespected and disappointed by strangers but it's another when it comes from people you know and care about. I guess my issue is letting it roll of my back.
