Parents not telling me when they are picking up!!!!!!

I love it when they come early to pick up. I allow one arrival, one departure, per parent, per child, per day so if the parent comes at an unscheduled time they MUST depart with the child. I don't do two parent arrivals, two parent departures, one child arrrival, one child departure. It must be one each per day.

I keep my doors locked and have external cameras. If I see the parent in the driveway I gather the kid, ready them to leave, then answer the door WITH the child in hand and hand them off immediately. I say "yay Mommy came early... you guys are going to have some extra Mommy time today" :wave:

okay, got a hold of Mom over text last night. asked her if everything was okay? she text back and said "sorry just got your message when I got home I went straight to bed, just got up" I asked if they are both sick? (these are things a provider NEEDS to know, in order to protect kids in care) she responds by saying "yes, hubby and i are both ill, have what daughter brought home from your house" what????? uh no one has been ill here, besides a "sniffle", she is blaming me for their illness and the baby's. uuuuuuugggg! i am getting tired of this woman. why do parents always blame the daycare? I know a lot of people right now who have a bad cold/influenza like sickness....NONE of them attend my daycare. Can't they "get" that you can pick up an illness anywhere, like work, grocery store, friends, public places, THE AIR!!!! why is it the Day Care, she goes further to tell me "Husband hasn't taken a sick-day in 7 years" now......we have our first day care sick ness (her words) I am fumming! Not to mention...will be ticked if we get it! which WE didn't "have" in the first place. These ones are going as soon as I find a replacement!!!!

I certainly hope you are advertising to replace this family kidlove. If not, get started! What idiots! Oops, did I say that out loud?
