Let me tell you a story....

I worked outside of the home in a daycare centre before right? (this centre was infant only and my son was older)

I had to stay late because another child's mom was late-- and as a result I was late picking up my own child.... by 45 mins another 15 they would have called mobile crisis, even though I called to explain, sadly hubby was working overtime.... Anyway they didn't care...they had rules, and they couldn't bend them.....

Thee next day I decided I was going to open my own dayhome... because I WANTED TO BE THE BOSS.

What I am trying to say is, in a centre this would not fly regardless of her circumstance.
