Don't You Love

[boysx5]

when parents think daycare providers should work on holidays since they are off and want to have a day off without their child. I had a parent who I love to death a great family ask if I was off on Monday Memorial Day I was like yes I am its in my contract. She said oh I thought maybe you would want an extra day no I do enough days I don't want any extra's thank you

HA! I just find this funny! I can't imagine the look on my face if one of my parent's asked me this. Unfortunately, my face reads a little to easy to others so I'd be in trouble.

i had a dcb once on july 4th so mom and dad go relax (get plastered, i'm sure) at a FAMILY picnic....how sad is that!!!!

I think I might have responded with:

"Really? I thought that YOU would want an extra day?"

[momofboys]

LOL! My DCM informed me yesterday that her family would not be here next Monday. I replied, that's good, because I am closed! She really should have known, it was in her paperwork since last fall!:confused:

I don't think some parents even read the paperwork! It is given to them for a reason, why can't they just read it over and KNOW what they are getting into before hiring a provider :shrugging shoulders:

I have been pretty lucky so far with holidays like Memorial Day...I am open but with my families I have, I haven't had any kids on the holidays and still get paid or they use one of their non-paid days. Gosh I'm praying I won't have to have my new boy on Memorial day, I never did ask if he was coming.

I have amazing dc parents, but I have to say -- I've made up fridge magnets with my closed dates, I have a HUGE calendar by the door with the closure dates crossed off (with the word "CLOSED" written across them), and I cross the dates off on the sign-in sheet -- but invariably, at least one parent will ask the day before a holiday "So, you're closed tomorrow, right?" ::

Fridge magnets are a great idea!! I'm totally stealing it. Where did you have them made?

[originalkat]

I list the upcoming closures in the newsletter and then I send a note home 3-5 days before the date I am closed just as a reminder.
