Tempted to Just Get in the Car and go Somewhere!! UPDATED!

[wdmmom]

I wouldn't accept them. I only do arrivals until 9am. You told them they forfeited their spot for the day, didn't you? Stick with it.

Tell her since she didn't communicate anything with you, she forfeited her spot for the day and you aren't going to be available.

This is HER fault, not yours!

Now go enjoy your day off!

[Blackcat31]

Glad to hear things are ok with the DCM but I would text her and tell her that you can't take her at all to day as you have made other plans since she never called or texted you. It also sounds as if the DCG is not feeling well so a day at home with mommy might be what she needs.

GO TO LUNCH WITH DH!!!

[Christian Mother]

Oh man...thats a tough one...I'd be mad...but happy that everything is ok but this has really affected everyone's day. For me, I'd tell her that you had ashually made plans for the day since you where left hanging for 2 hrs with out notification so your off doing all the things you normally aren't able to do. Chances are she'd be upset but live and learn right?!

[Breezy]

I told her

"Since I didn't hear anything from you I assumed you weren't coming so I rescheduled my appointment with my insurance agent for this morning over DHs lunch hour and then we are going to lunch"

You're right, its not my fault that she slept in and if I don't let her know I won't wait around for her NOW then this will keep happening!

She said "That's cool You have fun with the state farm agent. Ours in in Phoenix. Have a good lunch."

Whew. I thought she would flip!! happyfacehappyface

[wdmmom]

Good for you!!! happyface

Enjoy your day!!!

YEA!!! Have a great day off!! And have a Wonderful time out to lunch with Hubby!!

[Breezy]

Thanks all!!!! Hubs just called to confirm our lunch date and he agreed with my tough love decision too! Wooo me!!!!!

[daycare]

breezy....... Even if she did flip, don't give into that.

Please set something in your policy that states something about No drop off after XYZ time like many of us have stated.

YOU are not at anyone's beck and call...

they have a contract with you and they cancelled it today when they did not abide by it...

Look at it like this, both my doc and dentist have no show Fees attached to their appointments or even If I am late, I don't get my appointment and I get slapped with the fee. It's the same thing.......

Please don't feel bad and go have a good time with you family...

So true! Thank you for putting it into perspective for me! I sometimes forget that I am not at their beck and call and feel an obligation to be available whenever. Tomorrow she will hopefully set a better alarm!

[Blackcat31]

Good job Breezy!!! happyface Yah for you!!!! happyface I hope you enjoy your lunch.

[Breezy]

I begged DH to go to applebees!!! He reluctantly said yes! Woooooo!

[MarinaVanessa]

Yay Breezy has the day off!!!! And she used her backbone and everything is ok!!!!!

[Breezy]

I have had every day but Tuesday and Sunday off. I feel lazy this week!!

[EntropyControlSpecialist]

I like the no coming in after a certain time idea. I have one Preschooler that habitually arrives around 10:30AM. She has completely missed our morning circle time and a lot of important learning activities when this happens (nearly every single time).

I suppose I figured that if they're paying, they can drop off and pick up at any time they would like to. But, I'm set up as a Preschool not a daycare.

[DaisyMamma]

I wouldn't have let them come either. Good for you.
