    When I opened my daycare I assumed that If parents had the day off they would keep their kids home, that if they were off work early they would pick their kids up, etc. it has taken me a year but I have finally started to let that expectation go and realize that if I want or need a day off I need to just take it for myself. Sometimes I spend it with my own kids and sometimes I plan on getting a sitter for them. The thing that really irks me is that Most of my kids are here for 9 to 9.5 hours - they all get dropped off the second I unlock my door (they are usually waiting in their cars outside) even when the parents have a day off. I get that it's easier to grocery shop or whatever without your kids but how will they ever know how to behave in those situations if parents don't teach them?
