Chatty parent makes late closure

[mickyc]

All you have to say is day was good/not great (had timeout for hitting, wasn't listening to well today), see you tomorrow!

Make it short and sweet especially if it's written down somewhere for them! Why waste time doing both.

And yes parent is responsible for bad behavior but not all parents realize what is acceptable at your house and what isn't. Step in if you need to and get family on their way
