SOOOOO just because they pay for their spot why do they feel they MUST use it?
    And don't their children deserve a bit of a vacation as well?
    And what about a little break and thank you to their provider who is doing an amazing job at raising their children?
    I have heard every excuse in the book, I have to clean the house, they are bored with me, they wanted to come today, they miss their friends...........I think whatever, you are probably right, they probably are better off with me, at least I love them!

    With all that being said I found that as soon as I let go of the fact that there are so many different types of parents out there and taught myself to not let it bother me anymore it is just much easier to get on with the day, week and month ahead
    That's a little harsh, no?

    I don't find it a little harsh alphaghetti. I worked for three years in a licensed centre and had so many children that would come every day for 11 hours a day Monday to Friday 52 weeks a year!!!!! Those are the parents that I am talking about. I know it's not every parent but I thought we were talking about the ones that WERE doing this. And it does make me sad. I thought we were entitled to our opinion on here?

    Of course you're entitled to your opinion on here, but I am, too. I think that saying things like, "the kids are better off with me anyway. At least I love them" is harsh. I am fairly certain the daycare parents all love their children.
