[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But wouldn't you take your own child shopping if you needed something? I get that APs are "on the clock," but it seems silly to reprimand her for occasionally doing something you would do, too.[/quote] Except that you do these things because you don't have a paid caregiver so that your kid doesn't have to go with you. It's like when nannies say, "but the parents let them watch tv; why can't I?" Because we have a paid caregiver who doesn't have to cook dinner while also watching the kids, that's why. I agree that I would personally have said yes if she had asked, but I wouldn't like it otherwise. My only exception would be if she has no available time or access to a vehicle to do this shopping unless she takes him with her, in which case, the OP needs to make sure she has that personal time.[/quote]
