I have done daycare for my Sister In Law for almost 2 years with the same rules....this morning she tells me she's off on vacation for a week starting Oct. 22nd. and how do I want to work that? She said she could bring him by or whatever, it's up to me. Well, I have always charged if the child is here or not unless I am the one that calls off or takes vacation....she is allowed only 1 non paid day in a week.
So why does she feel she needs to ask how I want to work that? Do some think I'm going to be soft and say "ah, don't worry about it". Ok, maybe in the past LONG ago, before I had 4 kids and didn't rely so heavily on my income, but my rules have been this way since I started doing daycare 3 years ago.
I suppose this argument could go either way, but if I had a week off from a full time job (he's here EVERY day from 7a.m.-5pm), I would want to spend time with my child that week, even if I had to pay for the week of childcare, I would keep my child with me. But that's just me...some would rather not be burdened by their child I guess @@.
That is one of my pet peeves, yes I know I charge either way, but it drives me mad when a parent brings their kid to care when they are home all day.
