I have one family where the mom has different shifts and some days only starts at 3pm but still drops off her child at 7:45. Yesterday she was having a ''fun'' day with her mother and was going to drop off her child for only a ''couple of hours''. The whole day came and went and she came at her regular time and didn't even mention anything at all. Meanwhile, here I am all day waiting and trying to plan activities. I think from now on I am going to tell her I need a specific time. This isn't the first time this happens. I don't stay indoors all day so it's not like I am here whenever she might feel like stopping by. I just thought that if I had done that I would be ashamed.
