Disagreement with parents

[5 Little Monkeys]

I am off on Christmas Eve now as no one is coming but will still be paid. TECHNICALLY, if anyone needs me that day, I have to open or give their money back. They all have confirmed their days here and they all know I have no kids that day so I know none of them will come BUT if they needed too, yes they have the right to come. They would tell me a day or 2 before though

In this case, if the dad wanted to come, I'd offer his money back. If he was just saying this to be annoying I'd say "I have no children that day so I'm off" end of story. I don't need to tell them my plans for days off

Since he knows about the appt, I would just let him know it was made after you knew no one was coming. I agree with suzie, sounds like a misunderstanding and dad just wants clarification. I don't think there's anything wrong with that and feel it's fine for him to ask about how the fee will be applied that day.
