    She isn't your boss, you are. If the child is up that early and is that age, yes she needs an a.m. nap. Mother must adjust child to the daycare schedule not vice versa. You are correct in limiting your responses to her text. You are a child care provider, not an answering service. Don't let her bug you, just follow your instincts.

    Exactly this! She is NOT your boss, she is a client who is using a service you provide. That's like Hiring someone to come fix a roof and you going up there and telling them how they are suppose to be doing their job. You are not the roofers boss, you are using them for a service...it's the same thing. A child that age getting up that early NEEDS a morning nap and this woman is an idiot! Keep doing what you're doing and just smile and nod.
