Parents having the day off

[Busy ECE mommy]

I get the concept of "you paid for the day, so why not use it" but I had a teacher's set of siblings a few years ago, and those kids were dropped off every day over Xmas holidays and March Break and left here from open til close(10 hrs) and they were 2 yrs at the time. It drove me crazy!!!!
The poor kids! Why not bring them in for 5-6 hrs to keep the routine, but not have them here open til closing. They were the only family that did that. The next year I just took time off around those times of year, so the problem resolved itself. I understand needing a day here or there to run errands/go to appointments etc, but whole week blocks at a time while parents are at home does drive me a little bonkers. Why not grab your child for one of those days, and do something fun, or come for a 1/2 day?
