Oh - that's awful. *Hugs* I think you're well within your rights to be miffed. I think parents really don't think about all the points you made (setting up playpens, meal prep) I think (sadly) that their thought process is simply "What's the big deal ? So you make one less snack/meal ?" I agree with you 100% though, and I think your post should be printed by every caregiver and included in their paperwork bundle as required reading for parents. Especially if your child is the first arrival of the day - I mean, sheesh !
