Overlap? No thanks!

I agree that this seems a little silly to be paying for something a child isn't attending, you would be lying if you said you all did this (maybe stop that to save some money) and I disagree that it's a "reward" for the provider. That comment was rude, it's actually not a reward if a family doesn't come and you get paid for it it's actually called a part-time family paying for flexibility and the provider being able to do that. She is giving them what they want but doesn't allow last minute changes. I don't see anything wrong with that if anything it's a smart way of making extra money and saving some. I do not allow for last minute changes either. Everyone is on a power trip right now but please keep in mind that many of you charge families for your vacation and sick days which I think is wrong in the sense that your not even working and expect to get paid.
