I Guess I Need An Early Drop Off Fee...

[DaisyMamma]

not to hijack, just had to agree with how i cannot get this figured out either. Few weeks back a mom called to ask if her son could get off the bus here (he wasn't scheduled that day, but it would have been fine). Thing is, she knew before hand that she might need him to get off here, but waited until the very last minute. So last minute that the bus is dropping off, and pulling away as she's still getting to her question of "can you get him off the bus?" when she finally got to the point, i had to tell her the bus had just pulled away while she was talking! She got really upset and said, "but no one's at home!"

oh well not your problem!

I read stuff like this and I'm so grateful I have a gate at the end of my driveway. If someone comes by before I'm up and around in the morning, there's a great big locked gate at the end of the drive and they're stuck waiting til somebody comes down and unlocks it, which isn't til opening hours, when I've stowed my dog away and I'm dressed and ready to deal. I have a family too. We're full up on rudeness and inconsideration around here.

Can I say 'ditto'... We live inside our retail furniture store... we have a private apartment.. and daycare has a private entrance... property is over an acre..6 ft chain link fence with razor wire across the top... double wide gate entrance.. when I open the gate.. the daycare is open....

Oh no! Our doors stay locked until 7:00 on our clock, then the parents can come in. You will see many cars sitting in the parking lot but i will NOT open the door any earlier. Another child care center that i worked at opened at 630 & they had a keypad to get in, if they came in before 630, i would not go into the baby room until 630 on the dot, so if they wanted to leave their child in an empty dark room by theirselves, they waited till i came in & turned on the lights! its sad to say, that those kids who were there at 630/7 were also the ones still there at 530/6 .... i understand some ppl work long hours, but your children suffer from the lack of parenting, so DONT be mad at me, when you come to pick up your child & he doesnt want to go with you, because he has been with me the last 10hrs of the day!
