Oh, I can sooooo relate to this thread! I had a family before with two kids with me and they were always the first to arrive and last to leave no matter if the parents were on vacation or not working or whatever. At least they did also take the kids on vacation as well, but it made me sad that they would spend such long days away from their parents needlessly. After that experience, I changed my hours so I wuoldn't be so frustrated having kids stay later when I knew their parents were at home cooking dinner before coming to pick them up.
