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

That is unacceptable for her to think that all the hours you put in each day (and being pregnant!), that you don't deserve some time to yourself? If it were me and the dad showed up when the kids were napping, I would lose it!!!
Nap/quiet time in my house is sacred...all my parents know that. She is just being rude and disrespectful...woul d she like it if she worked a whole day with not even one break? I don't think so, so why should you. I say if dad comes to the door during naptime, politely tell him that they have been told that there are no pick ups/drop offs at this time and he will have to come back when the children are awake. If he doesn't like it, too bad...your house, you rules!

If I were the parent and you withheld my child I would go ballistic. I appreciate that a contract is a contract but this is their child. I am annoyed just typing this and thinking about it but if it actually happened and a provider wouldn't hand over my child, I do not want to imagine how I would handle that person. If they were lucky I'd report them but in all likelihood I would go ape shit and force my way in. Under no circumstances is it okay to withhold a child. If they are breaking the contract and your rules it is completely unacceptable, but then terminate but don't use their child in that way.

I would never with hodl the child. . . all im asking is for them to make it a different time so that the other kids aren't disturbed . . . an hour earlier or an hour later . . . its not likeit is some sory of emergency . . . and my reasoning is not ridiculous . . . the door is right beside the bedroom and the noise wakes the kids . . . I dont live in a huge house . . just a big apartment with the rooms right beside the door of course . . . . but id be livid if they just showed up whenever they felt like it . . . especially after that conversation

Re read my post Cadillac, my response was not to you, and I never said you were ridiculous so I don't know what you are referring to. My response to you is furthur up this thread which was a suggestion to move the child to another room...which was posted prior to you clearing up the issue with that option. Please be clear on what the post says before telling me to relax. You never said or implied that you would do this and I never directed my response to you. I simply expressed my feelings towards mattsmom who said that she would withhold the child and that I think that is completely unacceptable behaviour if anyone were to do it.
