I am keeping a tally of how many of my diapers I am using for their child and will be letting them know that I will be taking that out of their supply, if/when they bring more.
"If/when?!?!" Wow. You are being too accommodating and in turn are actually enabling this behavior. I would never let a child come for the day without their supplies especially not diapers! Here parents get ONE reminder. If I don't have diapers for their kid, then I guess they are keeping them home that day. Sorry.

I send an email at the beginning of every season with a list of what the kids need to be wearing for outdoor play and I always mention in it that if they fail to provide said things on the list they will have to go back home and get them before they can leave their child with me.

Send these parents a text reminding them that no diapers/supplies=no care and see what they show up with in the morning
