Dcp entering my home

[Trace of Angels]

OK so FUNNY story. When I first opened my daycare all of my parents came in. I was downstairs with the kids and told them to always just come on in.......not thinking very swiftly I might add! One day when the kids were running around and I had to pee as I always do with the door right open and in walked a daycare dad ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! I had a conversation with all parents after that. They now must knock and ring the door bell before they enter my house so I at least have a warning to pull up my pants LOL!!!!
It's amazing how quickly they forget that this is my home and I still live here with my family and I have the right to pee with the door open if I want to in my own home otherwise I will have five little pairs of feet right there in the bathroom with me and who has room for that right???
The poor daycare dad he knocks, rings and says hello three times before he comes down now!!!

I may be weird, but I don't mind parents coming right in. Actually, I kind of like it. Of course, I don't have a husband on the scene, so that probably makes a difference. But my teen boys and adult daughter quite like it as well. Most of my clients will often take their shoes off and come in for a little chat and visit. I've always told them that I have an open door policy...don't even knock. My kids haven't been concerned about it either. One day, I was upstairs in my bedroom with the baby girl who's been with me since she was 3 months old. I had a date and took her with me to pick out an outfit as she was the last one. Mom came in, the kids told her I was up in my room, so up she came and we sat on my bed and had a nice visit while playing with her daughter. It was lovely and never occurred to me that it wasn't ok. I've just always been very open and have always had my home open to clients and friends. Must be the hayseed in me

Everyone has their own preferences and boundaries. I've just always loved the openness of my home/business. Thank goodness I've not had a bathroom incident like Trace of Angels! Ugh....how horrifying! My powder room is right by the front door and I can see through the window whether anyone's here. I too pee with the door open, with my little entourage all standing at the gate cheering me on...lol....

Oh, and the showing up early??? No freakin' way! If you open at 7, do not unlock your door till then. And maybe consider changing your late/early policy in your contract. That's ridiculous!
