I have a very open relationship with one of the moms. I believe I talked about her before, just when she started. I was asking about that exactly, if you thought it was OK to build friendships with parents. I went for it and it's been good.
All of my families are leaving, kids are starting school. I originally had 2 days off in June but then something came up and decided to move them to Oct. I still need the days for June so I decided to close the original days in June but still take her child in, that way I don't affect her and the other families are not going to be affected because they leave in August. Today she asked me if I was closed those 2 days this month, I said yes but reminded her I was still taking her child in because I can still run my errands with the child. So she asks me that if that means that I won't take the days in Oct because I'm closing the 2 days in June. I told her I would still take them because I was taking her child in the days in June so I wouldn't affect her and still take those days off in Oct.
Is this arrangement a wrong thing to do? It kind of bugged me a bit that she would expect for me to take the child on a day off. Is really not a day off cause I will still have that child with me, I just need to do some errands that with the whole pack would be impossible to do. And because I had those days originally, I decided to keep them like that just for the families that are leaving.
Horrible idea?
