So I started a new dcg today. dcm told me that she was going to be here at 9:15. So I waited until about 9:50 and sent an email:
Dear dcm,
I have dcg schedule for child care today from 9:15-5:00. I ask that you let me know when your child is not attending so that I can properly plan my day. If I do not hear from you by noon tomorrow I will assume you no longer need my services.
Thank you and have a nice day

Then dcd shows up at 10:15 and I wasn't even going to answer the door at first. So I let them in and dcd tells me he is terrible with directions and couldn't find my house. He was also late for work and work even called him while he was here and asking where he was.
I felt so bad for sending that email and was embarrassed, so I didn't mention it. But I know I will have to say something when dcg gets picked up tonight... I sort of feel like a jerk, but my other dcg was out sick today, so if they weren't going to show I could have done other things. Or if they were going to be late, I could have gotten more done around the house. But I didn't want to be caught out in the garage or in the shower when they arrived kwim?
So what should I say to dcm? Her daughter has also been going from quiet to screaming/crying for the last 30 min. I am going to make an early lunch and then put her for a nap and hopefully the afternoon will be better. I sure hope so because I have another interview this evening.
