This is why I won't do extended hours for anyone. My hours are my hours and if a parent can work within my operational hours then we part ways or I don't take them in the first place. This always happens if you make an exception for one parent.
However, IF you wish to keep them and you want to accommodate them then you MUST charge them for it. You should not be working for free. And I would make it a significant fee to stop them from deciding to go forth. For that extra half an hour I would totally charge them $10 more per day. AND, that is their new fee for EVERY day. They don't get a break on that fee if one day they decide to not drop off early. Their new, every day, fee is your normal fee plus the extra $10 a day. Type up a new contract and have them sign it.
My guess is that once you bring up the additional fees they will suddenly not need such early hours.![]()
