You said long days, but you didnt' say how long. Are you letting them take advantage of you? I have a limit of 9 hours with $5/half hour for extra time and another $5/half hour extra before 7:30 and after 5pm. The extra fees are meant to deter long days for the sake of the child and for me. It's funny how families can find a grandpa or grandma who can make the trip to help out when push comes to shove. But if we let people take advantage of us they will do it every time.
