Should I miss a day, they remind me they missed having it. When I show a sample report during the interview the parents seem happy that they get this to give them more insight into their childs day. Did I mention I HATE doing them LOL
Ditto to this.
LOL
This sounds like what I do and how I feel every day having to fill them out x3, 4 or 5

The parents do like them and quite frankly I loved them when I used a daycare provider for my kids. I really looked forward to reading about my child's day each night.

I also had a provider who passed a communication book back and forth every day and yes I forgot it sometimes but I was pretty good at responding back and I enjoyed it. I kept the communication books in my kids' memory box.
