I have 6 children that attend part time, filling 3 spots. Seems like every week, one of them is asking to switch days. I try to help by calling other parents to see if they can switch, but then if they can't, the switch requester is acting put out if the requestee can't accommodate. I have made up a chart showing who comes on what days, and attached a note:
"Parents, this is the part-time roster. As you can see, it is full. If you need to switch a day, I can assist you only by providing the other parents phone number to you,. Outside of that, I cannot serve as the "middle man" and arrange for schedule changes. Please remember, this is a REQUEST, and the other parents are in no way obligated to switch days with you. Thank you for your cooperation."
That sounds fair, doesn't it? I need to end the switch-a-roo hassle and drama . Other suggestions?
