Contract Hours

[playfelt]

I would have those kids upstairs in the kitchen doing "something" while I made supper so that once the last child is out the door my supper goes on the table. That is the only way I was able to get everyone fed and off to evening activities. I would especially be doing it if I knew the family was already home doing the same and even make a few jabs about XXX being a bit bored because instead of being in the playroom at the end of the day we play at the kitchen table while I make supper - too bad they couldn't spend time making supper with you.

I started out thinking I had to be a dacyare centre from my opening time till my closing time and then "go home" so to speak. It wasn't long before I had the reminder that I was "at home" and when the clock says the right time I started cooking dinner or put the laundry in the dryer etc.
