    Well...their reasoning and what they do on their own time should have NO impact on your keeping him late. If they want to hire out 24/7 care it's their choice and we can't change our care for a child because we feel they should spend more time with their kid. Dinner plans without a child is really no different then work meetings or doctors appointment as far as you are concerned.

    WHAT REALLY MATTERS here is...would you be extending your hours for your other families? Their family relation has no bearing on your daycare, they get no special privileges. It sounds like you know this by your (I know, I know) comment. So, would you be saying yes or no to this same request from other parents? That same answer applies here.

    There should be no guilt for saying no...it is your contracted terms. There should be no resentment if you say yes...they are a client you have offered a service to. If you are not happy with the situation it is up to you to clear things up and make it clear to them or terminate the daycare relationship.

    The only way home daycare can work with caring for family members children is if BOTH sides are totally clear and open with each other. Otherwise one side ends up losing by the other side inching over that line, bit by bit, more and more.
