Late. Again....

[Dayhome Mamma]

Hi Playfelt, everyone picks up around 5:20-5:40pm, it is not the time of 6 that I have a problem with. It is the constant lateness that bothers me, even after having spoken to them verbally and sent out group notices as reminders. I already know for a fact that dad can come early as he finishes work at 3:30pm each day (works in construction) and comes to my house last minute, just fresh out of the shower....
My feeling on this one is that there is no respect for myself or my business policies, which is very frustrating. I do enjoy the family, but on the other hand I could have the spot filled by the end of the weekend if I made a few phone calls. I think I just feel guilty is all because we have had a long relationship.

I hate the guilty feeling....especiall y when its with someone that has been with you for so long. But I guess we slowly learn to stick up for ourselves with time. Some people might take it as us being strict or bitchy, but their thinking would be way different if they had to be in our shoes. I think it will come as a surprise but just think of how good it will feel to have it running more smoothly the way you want. I would hate having the dad come freshly showered as well. I have a mom that does grocery shopping before picking up her kid. everyone picks up at 5/ 5:15/ and because she does this she ends up at 5:30....i hate it too.
