    Ever since I mentioned I was considering changing my closing time to 5:30 instead of 6, THAT parent has been picking up at 5:45/6pm.

    Pick up time before I mentioned the change? 5pm.

        It could be a paid membership site for parents searching for childcare verifying you are legit. Poorly.

          No its through facebook. Im thinking other people responded to their post with lower prices so they just stop talking to me.

            Got it. I stopped doing the facebook ads because it was usually other providers responding.

              Had talk with dcm about not bringing kiddo (2 years old) inside with food anymore at drop off (They have option to eat bkfst at home or cereal and toast here if they’re here before 8). Had ANOTHER talk with her next day as she did it again. Sent home a reminder to everyone and still comes in this morning with a sausage link in her hand!! So I said “Oh no! Looks like we need to go back out to the car so we can finish eating that!” All nice and sweet. Mom says “ Oh, I don’t have time for that crap today, (kid) hurry up and stuff that in your mouth and chew, it’s just a little sausage.” So the kid does!!!

                  If my policies are "crap", then they can take their little entitled arse right back out the door.

                    Agree. It would have been ugly.

                      Her only saving grace is she put in her 2 weeks on Monday because “she can’t afford my prices” anymore. Don’t let the door hit you in the a$$, ugh.

                        Teacher mom has begun her never ending days off again. So happy to be paying for it as a taxpayer. Last week stayed home for a “mental health” day, then shopping and now today she drops off kid and says “we both have colds, I might stay home”. Yeah drop your kid here while you go home and rest

                        Fudge these parents.

                          It used to be a certain "type" of parent.
                          Now it seems it's all parents.

                          Whatever, I am so over it..... I just charge now and don't stress one bit about it. The parents certainly don't.

                          Today we have a 2 hour late delay for school and a TON of snow. I get to work no problem and don't open late or anything for days like this but most my parents will be a bit behind due to the snow so it works out well. I shovel the walk ways while my hubby plows the driveway and parking areas.

                          Today we are shoveling away... still 10 minutes before opening and a parent pulls into the driveway. Blocking my husband....WTF.....parent works at Dairy Queen. :confused:

                          She's more than 30 minutes early and seriously who is heading to Dairy Queen when it's 2F outside and snowy?
                          Especially since DQ doesn't even open until 10:00.

                          I made her get back in the car with her kid, park farther down the block and wait.

                          SMH.

                            I heard it's pretty heavy up north. We started out the day with freezing rain. It just started snowing here about an hour ago and we already have a good 1-2 inches.
