Is Anyone Else Open Monday?

[daycarediva]

I stayed open (only 10 paid days off, didn't want to waste it)

and it looks like I will have ONE dcb. Of course, the one that's really a handful too, especially when his friends aren't around AND he is an open-closer (they pay extra for the additional hour, even though they aren't working) so it's an 11 hour day.

I feel like offering her a refund and saying that I have decided to close. I KNOW she and dcd aren't working that day, but they were the FIRST to return the sheet saying dcb would be here.

I am also open Monday and only have my "handful" child coming. He is my only drop-in child and has trouble with adjusting. Yesterday it was hitting the older children (he is 18 months old) and running inside. At least Monday he will be the only child here so, no one to hit:-)

I'm open, but I still don't know if I'm having any kids. I may have 1, may have 2, or may have 3. May have none. Everyone has to "ask Dad, husband, boyfriend," before they decide. Come on people, it's Friday. I need some info here.

I think that they all know but they resent paying for a day they won't use and hate to admit that I'm getting a day off.

I gave everyone a deadline of Thursday/yesterday at pickup to return the form letting me know. If they didn't, they couldn't come. This dcm filled in the sheet that he would be coming right then. GRRR.

Yes, I really think with this family it boils down to 'they paid for it', hence why I am probably going to tell her that I didn't have any interest and am giving her a refund for the day.

Close! You are not going to inconvenience them if they do not work. Take the day for yourself.

Yup. I would say that they were the only ones interested and I would like to spend time with my family as i'm sure they would too. Therefore,I will be closed.

That would really irritate me!

I have it in my policies that i'm off on memorial day, paid. However in our May newsletter I forgot to put a reminder in there. Now I have the awkward pleasure of having to remind them as they go out the door today.

Yay.. :/

Nope, my dc kids are out today (their schedule changes every week) and I took off Saturday and Monday. So I will enjoy my nice 4 day weekend. They don't happen very often!

CLOSE!!!!! You deserve it!

Agreed! Or at least tell them an appointment came up and you are closing at an earlier time.

My partner says we are closed. When she says it, it is.

I'm closed. None of my parents are working that day, but it wouldn't matter, I'd still be closed.

I wouldn't offer the option to watch DCB if the parents are off! They can tend to their own child for a day!

The spread from New Years to now is soooo long without a day off! Take the day! You deserve it!!!

I stay open sometimes on holiday and I require that I must have at least 3 families sign up for care. If I don't get 3 families to sign up, then I don't open.
