I used to do Saturday care for a family but quit when it interfered with my family time. Its been several months since I have done a Saturday. I told the dc mom if she really needed a Saturday she could ask me a few weeks in advance and if I could I would. She's only asked once and I said I could watch them then they no showed. The daughter ended up wanting the teen baby sitter instead of me so they went with her. Well yesterday dcmom sends me this weeks schedule and she has Saturday down. My daughter and I both have our birthdays this week and we are having a family birthday party on Saturday. I explained this to dc mom when she asked why I couldn't do Saturday. She was miffed and says the kids like birthday parties and they would have fun. Also her older dd had my dd at her birthday party. I said well this is a family only party. How rude. I'm glad I will be shutting down after the new year.
The Nerve of Some People

I would have been more upset by the nerve of her asking why I couldn't! I would have had to say it's not of importance since it's outside of scheduled daycare hours.- Flag

People will say what they want when it’s for their wants or needs.
When parents ask me, “Why can’t you?”
My reply, “The details doesn’t change the fact that I won’t or can’t. Good luck in finding other arrangements.”
I don’t have time to wheel & deal about my personal/family time.
Edited:
Something just hit me! She needed an explanation to why you didn’t want to take care of her kids during your birthday celebration?- Flag
