So I have to vent a minute tell what you guys would do , I have 3 siblings a db 3,2 dg 7,9. Well yesterday mom picks up and says ok girls no daycare for you for 3 days well the girls are all yay no daycare ! I try my best to make these two happy and they are fine all day until mom walks in to pick up then they act quiet and sad like they have the worst time at dc.really makes me wonder what they tell mom ?

Well you could tell mom what you told us and see what she says. Also, be sure to charge even if the girls are not coming. Hopefully you charge for the space whether they attend or not like most of us do. I'd also ask the girls why they act all sad when mom comes when it appears they like daycare. They are old enough to give you an answer.
That said, my granddaughter who is 8 isn't thrilled about coming to my house anymore (on off days from school occasionally) because the babies annoy her now. She never told me this. I found out from my son.
I don't take school age any more except for my grandkids once in a while. I don't like the combo of littles and bigs. One or the other is fine but not both together.
I also risked losing a baby when I decided to no longer watch his older brother on school days off. The older one was a terror. The baby stayed though.

Yes I do charge her, but she has all of a sudden changed shifts so that's why I don't have them the next 3 days I just have the db, so I don't know if she's changing shifts because the girls are saying they don't like coming here after school? And the db is always happy playing when she picks up it's just the other 2.Comment

I am honest with parents and say that kids outgrow my care before they outgrow DC. So if kids were behaving as if my home were "baby jail" it would be time for me to move them on. Often I don't lose the sibling because the parents realize that their older child's needs are different then the youngers. But it is a gamble.Comment
