Snowy Weather and Late Fees

[Maria2013]

So now that the snowy weather has come do you hold your parents to their pick-up times? Do you enforce late fees even if they say they were held up because of snow? Part of me says just let it go (the wimpy, spineless yet understanding part of me) and the other part of me says they should plan ahead. What do you do?

I don't charge late fees, I would feel responsible if they drove like maniacs and got into an accident to avoid paying

When the roads are bad I don't enforce my late fee. I would rather the DCPS arrive safe and sound to pick up their child instead of driving too fast on bad roads in order to save a buck.

I just trust them when they tell me the roads were bad...I am not out on the roads so honestly I have no way of knowing how bad they were. We live in the country so sometimes even a bit of wind can cause snow to drift onto the roads on a sunny day.

I haven't had a parent abuse it yet......emphasis on the yet.
