Holiday Days Closed

[AmyKidsCo]

My contract states that I'm closed between Christmas and New Year - specific dates TBA. This year stinks because the holidays are on weekends.

Dang... My families loved playing with their kids, but then all but one was the first Thanksgiving for the babes (remember I do under 24 months only)... Sorry you were ill, but we will do lunch next time I'm up there; probably June next year

I still feel like total crap. I guess it is back to the dr for me today.
I have a couple of the infant families that are like that.
The other family I think are overwhelmed with the two year old and infant. They had planned to send the kids IF I was open.

I worded my contract to says "Provider will take up to 7 days of vacation time over the Christmas holiday. Dates will be provided in advance each year"

I figure that covers the weird way holiday dates work some times.

There is this weird fundamental change that happens within a family upon the birth of the second child.

I can't explain it but it's there.

It changes a family at it's core. I've seen golden families rust within days and super organized OCD type parents turn into frazzled walking messes that have no idea what day it is.

It's kind of like the Bermuda Triangle.... there is just no way to explain it.

Yes! They are usually my family that follows rules and are just one of the better families to deal with. Keep in mind this is two parent family, both work the exact same place, exact same schedule. They have even brought the two year old in yesterday's clothes or pajamas.
I am starting to worry about them a little bit.
