Pickup policies

[MommaL]

Sometimes parents don't have a choice for when appointments are made, so the one pick up, one drop off rule is tough in those cases. Obviously I'm not talking about haircuts. But sometimes one has to take doctor or specialists appointments when you can get them. It would seem fair to me that if a child has an 11:00 appointment that the parent drop them off in the morning as usual, pick them up before their appointment and then drop them off again once done.

This all being said, what these parents are doing is ridiculous! It doesn't make any sense. One would think that if a parent is done work 2 hours before closing and wanted to book an appointment for their child or take them to the park that they would do so in the last hour, not take them for an hour and them bring them back for an hour. Is it the same parent that picks them up and drops them off or is one parent initially picking up the child and bringing them back and then the other parent picking them again later (in which case, maybe there is some sort of explanation for it). Either way, I'd definitely have a policy around not being able to drop the child off again during the last 2 hours of the day (or whatever time frame you see fit).
