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

Mom told me this morning that Dad would come after three. Dad called and said the same. Mom seemed more at ease this morning (probably because she now has the weekend off! LOL)

They got the point and seem to be respecting the rule

I'llget my nap and so will everyone else

cadillac - i think you did the right thing. when my oldest son was in a centre daycare years ago the 'no interuptions during naptime' rule was not flexible and i follow the same policy here.
as a parent i would be very upset if my child didn't get the benefit of his/her full nap because another parent thought their plans more important.
obviously some exceptions apply, but in general, a trip to a cottage can be delayed by thirty minutes.
ps i am almost three months pregnant too and can't wait for the first trimester to be over. i'm so exhausted! i was very, very sick for a few days so i have started taking diclectin which has a side effect of drowsiness so i think i'm getting it two-fold. also, my patience are totally shot... i have a very short fuse these days. when are you telling your clients?

CONGRATS!!!!!!!

Once I worked out the iron situation and when to take my pill without throwing up . . . . ive been good. But I crash at nap and after 5pm

I've already told my clients. I told them right away cuz I was so excited. They knew I was trying without success for a while. Everyone who will still be here when baby comes is incredibly excited for me too. Plus . . . I'm so skinny that keeping it a secret would be impossible. I've already got a big belly.

I hope after a nights sleep she realized that this was an easy fix and not something to get frustrated about and take out on you. I'm happy to hear she has decided to cooperate with your rules.
