Rightly offended? . . . or just tired and pregnant?

[5 Little Monkeys]

From reading past threads on this, I am probably the odd woman out but I don't stop parents from picking up during naptime. In my eyes, as long as the child gets picked up before closing time, I couldn't care less when it is lol. Parents know that if they absolutely NEED to pick up during naptime that they need to let me know PLUS give me a text when they are 5 mins away. I don't normally get the kids ready for parents but in these very, very rare occasions, I will have the child ready so that pick up is quick and quiet. It happens so rarely (like probably less than a handful of times has this happened in the 2.5 years I've been opened) that it doesn't bother me.

Having said that though, it is easy for me to re-arrange playpens/cots so that the child being picked up is napping out of the naproom. I have almost always had heavy sleepers so noise doesn't bother them either. Naptime is anywhere from 1230/1 to 3 here so I would just nap them from 1230 to 230 for the one day. Either way, I get a break and the parent gets to pick up their child when they need too. If this was an every day occurrence than I might have a different opinion but for the odd time, it doesn't bother me.

Now having said all that, it is your dc and your rules so if this really isn't something you want than just be clear and remind them that it's in the contract that they signed. If they get mad and pull their child out than so be it.
