So...
I was called to the mat by a DCM. ( The sweetest woman you have ever met)
She was mostly joking as we laugh a lot here. She was 100% correct, though.
I **am** guilty of enforcing my policies with a double standard. I did it. It is true. I will most likely do it again.... but I will try harder to recognize it in myself.
Example:
If DCM shows up 10 minutes early to drop-off (no notice), I charge her $10 or a coffee and doughnut the next morning (my version of a get out of jail card).![Smile](https://chat.daycare.com/core/images/smilies/smile.png)
If DCD shows up 10 minutes early to drop-off (no notice), I often let him slide depending on how frazzled he looks and how desperate DCK seems to get into the playroom .![Wink](https://chat.daycare.com/core/images/smilies/wink.png)
Am I really the only one, though???? :confused: Do you catch yourself giving the guys a break??
NOTE: I am older, so seeing the guys actively parent is still a pretty new concept (and adored lovethis ) to me. Luckily the Moms are not too offended, after all, they love the guys as well.
