I don't think it's fair that just because its a holiday, I may not make my bill payments that month. With the limits placed on dc providers there is NO WAY we can ever come close to making a viable living. If a parent is complaining that it isn't a fair business practice then from now on just give a weekly rate. That way it doesn't matter what holidays, sick days or whatever. If your child comes to daycare it is $XX per week. It never fails to upset me when people haggle over daycare, we are raising their children for goodness sakes, ante up!!!
