regarding schedules
I get irritated when I don't get the schedule in advance. I get irritated because I only charge for the days that a child is in my care. I have a family where the dad works retail, so the schedule is always different and thats ok, as long as I know. I used to get myself all worked up because I never knew if he would be getting off the bus at my house or not because nobody called to give me a schedule and if I called and left a message, I would not get a call back. Finally, it dawned on me that getting the schedule to me is their responsibility, not mine. I stopped showing up at the bus stop unless I was told what the schedule was in advance. The first time that the mom had to go get dcb from school because of me not being at the bus stop was the last time it happened and I've been given the schedule regularly ever since. We can't just stop out activities and halt our plans because kid "a" may or may not show up.
