    I personally don't get angry about these things, or at least try not to let the parents feel my frustration. I also need my break time but I try not to sweat on these things. I can understand your frustration as we all go through similar situations that are annoying. But i think sometimes we need to stay positive and try not to let these things get to us. Unless it's all the time then I would definitely say no.

    I had one parent ask the same thing, she had a doctors appointment for dcg during nap time, I personally don't think It's a big deal. Sometimes plans are made because of other circumstances that are beyond their control. I don't think I can tell the parent not to come. I think its ok to ask if it's possible to wait but if they don't then they don't. I put her to sleep a bit earlier and went into the room 15 minutes before pickup and quietly picked her up. None of the kids woke up and mom was here right on time. I have my kids fully dressed and ready to go so pick up is always quick. Or do like bright sparks suggested and swith rooms for that one day. But i think your dck should be fine.

    Good luck working this out with the parents, I'm sure everything will work out

    yeah . . I've tried the quietly going in thing before . . i am not blessed with the heaviest of sleepers . . sigh . . . plus . . . I WANT MY NAP . . . I'm having a hard enough time functioning as is . . . without that nap the rest of the day will be debilitating . . .

A few tips...

If you visited or if you're using a childcare provider found on DaycareBear, do not hesitate to leave a review. This will most certainly help other parents!
