Yikes! It’s a good thing I have thick (leather!) skin because these responses are a little harsh.
Lol.

Anyway, I am not permitted to drive the children. The parents do not let anyone, including grandparents as well as their former daycare providers to drive them. They admit it is a weird quirk, but it is their right.
When I asked my MB if the five year old can walk when I get to the hill, she was very clear that BOTH kids would be tuckered out from playing at the park and that they both were to be pushed home.
I could always make the five year old walk, but my MB probably would not be too happy if I didn’t respect her wishes.
The girls run in the parent’s home office so quickly.
They will be with me, then one will get up and simply zoom (no pun intended) into the office room. I have told the girls not to disturb the parents, yet they do not listen to me and continue to run inside. When I brought up the issue with the parents they said that I would have to use force if necessary but I cannot do so. When if I leave a bruise or mark on their arm? It is a slippery slope.

I have tried incentives like stickers if they listen, timeouts when they do not but nothing works. The kids just do not listen to me. I wish the parents would simply lock the door, that way I can get to the child before she goes inside!
Due to COVID-19, the parents do not want their girls to touch or play on the parks play equipment, they want the girls to stay in the grass and play ball or frisbee which sounds ideal. But since the girls do not listen to me at all, I told the parents that if they do not do what I say and play on the equipment then I simply cannot use physical force to get them off.
I will tell them we are going home and will not be returning back until they can respect me.
The parents do not like this idea, but I feel it is how kids learn.

The park is actually 2.5 miles from the house. I just checked it on Google maps. So about five miles round trip. I love to walk so the distance is okay.
It’s just that darn steep hill on the way back.
Man I wish I could post a pic.
Thank you for your input.[/quote]
