[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here and thanks for the advice, another instance is the kids are constantly trying to climb up the outer side of the stairs holding onto the railing and this is over the hard wood floor. I know the mom allows this because I've seen them do it when she is there. This is one thing I do not let them do because it scares me that they may fall and crack their heads. If this happens when mom is there it's on thing but I feel it is completely different if it were to happen when I'm on duty. Telling the kids they can't do this when I am there has not gone over well, and I feel like it is really messing with my relationship with them.     [/quote]

I totally remember climbing on the outer side of the stairs as a kid, along with sliding down the rail, sliding down the steps (sometimes on my butt and sometimes in a box), jumping off of furniture, and so much more dangerous but fun things! Of course, my mother didn't allow it, we just did it when she wasn't around/looking. :P

Anyway, I agree with PPs. You need to sit down with your MB and discuss these issues with her, and come to an agreement on how you both can work together for the mutual benefit of the children. Yes, it is one thing if a parent allows their children to engage in "dangerous" activities while on their watch because, well, it's their child and, in the unfortunate event that their child is injured, they're really not accountable to anyone. You, on the other hand, will be accountable when the children are injured in your care. So I understand that frustration. The sooner you two discuss this and begin to work on these issues, the better. Good luck![/quote]
