Hold your horses. Be assertive with your rules and expectations. If they dropped off early, tell them I don't open till 7AM and am not ready for you till that agreed upon time. I personally don't have a problem if parents drop off later then their usual time as long as they call me to let me know. Set them straight on that too. If you didn't want to take the child the extra day, say no. Be firm with your rules. If you've only had their child for 5 days and it's not every day it will take the child longer to settle in a follow rules. I think maybe you need to give it a chance before you decide to terminate. Also, for people who have sporadic schedules like that, perhaps you need to extend the probationary period, as it takes longer to decide if the family and kid are a good fit than if he was full day every day.
