Difficulty with one Grandmother

I think I would ask the parents to put an end to the daytime visits.

It happens when my employers take the child away for the weekend - otherwise Grandma sees my charge at the one class and weekends. The problem is that my employers take her out of town on weekends a lot.

So?

Request that your employers tell Grandma to visit when they are home rather than when you are working. If she shows up, leave.

Thank you anyway, PP. I will never leave my charge when she is crying for me and I will not stand in the way of a grandmother seeing her grandchild.

I got some really great advise on this thread today on how to be clear with Grandmother and still protect my charge.
