See, this is the thing, in the other thread too.

Especially if you're a new, fist time mom looking for daycare, it wouldn't
occur
to one that a daycare provider or babysitter may up and do something like
drive
the kid around hither and yon, or go off somewhere and get a
sub-babysitter, for
me to ever ask about it or "make my expectations clear"!

What else do I say??  "Don't hold him upside down out the window like
Micheal
Jackson did."  "Oh, but you never SAID anything about THAT."   What,
what??
