Why do we feel guilty?

Amanda - For myself I charge $30 a day. I do offer a discount to my parents if I close at noon or 1. I was charging $15 a day for that morning but have increased that to $20 recently. If I close early though (3 or later) I charge full rate. I don't do it often.

This year I have decided to put my family first!! I have booked 2 afternoons off in the upcoming months to go to my daughter's preschool functions and I am closing early in a few weeks to attend a kindergarten screening. I have booked every 2nd Friday off during the summer. I have already decided I am closing Christmas eve next year! I also close at 4 on Halloween.

Mickyc - I am also taking an extra day every long weekend this year, as well as being closed on Christmas Eve. My older daughter is entering full time kindergarten this fall, and I for sure plan to attend all events that her school has. I am definitely willing to close early for the sake of my family, but I am trying to figure out how to approach it. I have the extra complication of being licensed, so I guess I should ask my coordinator what the protocol is. So far I have been able to find a dentist that is open weekends, so that I don't have to worry about closing. But I am due for a doctor check up and eye exam soon, and it may be difficult to do it all on the weekend.
