Does any one ever feel like they just want to walk way from family childcare?

I don't think my sentiments will be very popular but I don't have a problem with drop off times. I have a mom on mat leave and she shows up anywhere between 8am and 11am - but her schedule is dictated by her newborn. My parents know that I have the day planned out so we carry on. At 9am I lock the back door and we go on with our day. In summer we may be out for a walk or at the park so I leave a note on the door and they can either track us down or wait for us at the house.
No we don't run drop in centres, we are not a centre base but one of the reasons our parents chose home care was because of the personal attention and the flexibility. I do demand to be treated with respect though - if you are going to be late, call. If your child isn't coming that day, call early. I have it in my contract and my Parent Handbook. They should be doing this out of common courtesy anyway. If they're late coming in that's their child's time they are messing with, I'm getting paid whether the child is there or not.

Late pick ups don't fly at my house. My contract says (in red text) Unreasonable Late Fees $1 per minute. (thats for no call, no show) I also have Reasonable Late fees I've never had to assess anyone the unreasonable fee
