    I actually started a facebook business page for my dayhome and let my parents know about it. They're not my facebook friends but just "like" my business page. I post pictures of the kids going about our day to day, notices of closures, special events etc. So far every one enjoys it, I don't waste any paper or time, and it's easily viewable to anyone who wants to.

    I like this idea!! Thanks

    The ONLY thing I'd have to be carfull about with this is reading the type of parent they are....some wont enjoy seeing me posting somthing (even if about their child) at i.e. 10am...I had one who was very adament during an interview about me NOT being on my phone or computer during the day......all day until the child is at home <whatever>

    I only post on there during nap time or during the evening for just this very reason. However with my group of parents I don't think I would have an issue anyway. They text me through out the entire day, want me to email them pictures as the day goes on etc.

    I would have serious issue if a parent told me I couldn't use my phone or computer during the day. Right now my kiddos are all sitting at the table eating breakfast and I'm on my laptop in the easy chair next to them. They all feed themselves, I am within 5 feet of them, and if I sit at the table during meals the youngest one wants me to feed him. So if I'm sat over here why not log on for 20 minutes? I totally agree with playfelt, the freedom to choose how I run things is why I am self employed.
