I have one of those "tones" too........be proud!! ::::

Oh yes, the "tone" is what keeps my families in check. Don't like the "tone"? Don't do anything to bring it on ::

With my lingerer I say have a great night then start the vacuum and start vacuuming the entry rug where they're standing ::

I too have the tone. Couple that with resting bitch face and I can be pretty scary.

Loo! You crack me up!

I've been told by DH that I can have a "tone". I don't mean to, I just do I guess. Looking back at some of my old posts on here, I can read it.

You just go right ahead and rock that tone, girl! ::

Sounds like this issue is more common than I thought!

Since this dcm is state pay, she won't care about late fees.

I think you guys are right and I just need to be more blunt

Can you change that so she has to pay late fees? If you have a dollar a minute late fee, the state will only pay you a (roughly) dollar every 15 minutes, you should be able to require her to make up the difference.

I bet you're not as witchy as you think you are. You've got to be firm. She doesn't need a last minute potty every. single. day. If she just went, then she just went. Too bad. If mom doesn't believe you, then she's at the wrong place.

Same here. I had to get ridiculously specific.

"Departure by 5:30 pm. Do not arrive at 5:30 pm. $1 late fee per minute for every minute on property there-after. Please allow yourself enough time for daily brief, sign-out and safe loading of children. Do not block driveway or other vehicles. Turn around is available at cul-de-sac. Do not park or drive on lawn at any time. Do not allow children to throw gravel, enter landscape beds, remove landscape flowers or otherwise damage property. Please be considerate of my home and other families time."

It took a log time to whittle down that one paragraph. :: Eventually someone will find another loophole and I will have to rework it, again.

Sniff, sniff. That is a beautiful paragraph.

Look her right in the eye. Stare her down. And say... "Julie, every single day I make sure the children potty right before they are picked up. I am certain she can stay dry in the car. Every day when the last child is readying to go home the only person really needing to use the bathroom is me. I will see you tomorrow. "
And smile.
Repeat daily until you don't need to anymore.

Bwah ha ha! Love it.

Dcm will - every day - tell dcg to go potty before she gets in the car. I explain that dcg just went, but once the idea is out in the open, dcg is adamant she has to go again.

My policies state that children must be picked up and OFF THE PREMISES by closing time.
