Parents having the day off

[Blackcat3168]

Lol I'm with everyone else !!! Just don't tell me !! I get its down time for them , but sometimes wish my job offered 2 fifteen minute breaks and am hour for lunch lol .
I had my own lightbulb moment the other day , prob going to sound silly but I owned the fact this is my business , I can quit , I can terminate someone I can use this to benefit my family !!! It made me feel less pressure to please everyone and start making sure I'm pleased with my life .
Sorry got off topic !!! Lol but even in this remembering this is my business !! I was paid for this day , who cares where the dcp is !!! Lol

THIS! Who cares what parents do or don't do when they are off? As long as they pick up on time and pay me, I don't care what they do. I DO feel bad for their child but if the child's own parent doesn't feel guilty, sad or mad about it, why should I waste MY time feeling bad about it?

Parents are going to parent in whatever way works for them. I can't MAKE them do certain things or feel a certain way. If they valued the time with their child as much as I would as a mother, they would make different choices but the choices they do make reflect their styles of parenting so to each his/her own.

I am a small business that sells a service. Using it means paying for it. It doesn't give me the right to dictate HOW they can use it.

If I need a day off or to close early, I do it and I don't owe the parents an explanation about it any more they owe me one about their days off. With or without their kids.
