Hey ladies! This is not pregnancy related but I need some opinions. I own a home daycare and my hours are from 7 AM to 5:30 PM. I have a parent that only brings their child three days a week but every single day he texts me to ask if he can be later than 530. I really would like to stick to my rules but I don't know how to bring it up without sounding awful. It's just not fair to me to have to keep only him after I'm supposed to be closed. What should I do? Thank you for your advice!!

I would tell him that you close at 530 and due to an increase in the amount of times he is late that you will have to charge a late pick up charge. Every minute at my sons old day care was a 1$. Tell him if he can't comply with it then he needs to find another sitter. It's not fair to you and it's not fair that all the other parents are there on time.

@babyreeves, @lashellg @bjeff @paisleysmom @littlemissrainesmommy thank you for the feed back! It's just frustrating because they signed my contract that says I close at 5:30 and still can't be on time.

Completely agree with @littlemissrainesmommy. I own and run an in home daycare and I have a late fee if parents are late more than 3 times. I understand things happen but we also have a life and plans as well once I'm off the clock!

I work in a regular state daycare... and anytime a parent doesn't pick up their child after 6:00 and if they are late 3 times, she charges them a dollar for every minute they're late... and sure flexible hours may be nice for parents, but they need to realize that you have your own family and life too...

I'd say charge more

Sometimes work schedules conflict, and as a single mom who never knows exactly how soon I can be off work, flexible hours of operation really help me. if you really don't want to watch him past 5:30, perhaps just an honest conversation about how 5:30 and later is your personal home life, not business time. But I personally think after hour charges are more rational.

Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no, his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me and did something else with an other girl.... and it's 10:51 am now and he hasn't texted me at all. and after he dropped me off I texted him saying what I felt and nothing. I don't know if I'm over reacting or what or what should i do. do i wait until he text me?

This is my son Walter. Today is his birthday. He would have been five. This picture was taken when he was 16 days old. He was my first child and my only son (I now have 3 girls). He passed away the next day after this picture from congenital heart failure. It was a miracle that he lived passed 12 weeks gestation because of how severe his heart defects were. I miss him so much, I can't believe it's been 5 years. It still hurts so bad. I don't talk about him a lot out loud because I end up bawling, so i thank you for letting me share this with you ladies. You have always been nice and supportive. Happy birthday son, your mom loves you.
