In the early 90’s, I was a general manager of a machine shop which is located in a small rural town. At that time, the town had only a volunteer fire department and one of our ‘detail’ guys was on that team. Well, we allowed him to leave if a call came in. It was a complete honor system and, it ended up spiraling out of control. Fire calls at that time were infrequent but he started leaving more than once a day and failing to let our plant manager know he was leaving. It ended up being a disaster and caused alot of problems. In trying to do the right thing & what I considered to be a civic responsibility, we were taken advantage of.
Unfortunately, human nature tends to push the limit. In this day and age it’s hard to believe that other arrangements can’t be made by her.
Don’t know what the answer is, but if I was in either position, I’d find it.
You try to come between a momma bear and her cubs you will get cut ~ bad.
It is up to us to make the arrangements ~ not her. Mother nature cut her out for her role.
