[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just tell the kid thr terms you're OK with - come back after your kids are done lunch, play an hour, whatever. These kids that show up alone can handle direct communication. Just be clear. "I'll tell you when it's time to go" and done. Don't make it a thing. You want to feed her? Do. You don't? Ask her to come back after yours are done. These kids off on their own either have instructions about lunch or a laid back approach and eat whenever. If she asks for food and you don't want to feed her t her she needs to go home. I actually came to enjoy these kids when I learned to be very explicit and direct. So not rude at all.[/quote] DCUM: home of the high powered 6 figure career mommie who needs assertiveness training to deal with 12 year olds... [/quote] Idk, I used to feel bad for these kids that no one was watching them or cared where they were, so tended to want to be more mother like towards them. But that was my issue, and stopping my assumptions or judgements helped me see it differently and just be direct for my and my kids needs.[/quote]
