I have mentioned a couple of times on here that we had a woman who watched my son periodically, and then we had a little disagreement about carseats (she didn't want to use his carseat instead of the one she has). She was supposed to watch him in March, but wasn't able to, and then asked when in April did I want her to take him. I haven't answered yet, but figured if we could come to an agreement on the carseat issue, I'd have no problem with him over there.
Meanwhile, she's been making a point when in conversations about watching kids, of saying that if she's doing something for a favor then she should be able to do it the way she wants. For example, another friend was talking about how her 6yo son's caregiver had let him take a nap at 3:30pm (and he normally doesn't nap anymore), because she needed a rest, and the kid ended up being awake half the night. So right away she said how if was watching your child and put him for a nap, then she is doing you a favor and you are being picky. Needless to say, these two did not agree over this.
So I am just being too picky here, or should I be concerned about her not wanting to follow my wishes for my child's care, since I am not paying her to watch him. Anyone here who watches other people's children? How you do feel about this? She's always taken good care of Justin, but since the car seat conversation has been making these comments.
