I have a dcb 2 yo that is here all the time. His parents bring him no matter what. His mom brought him when he had a double ear infection at the hospital the night before
He is a sweet boy but I get the feeling from his parents that they don't want to spend time with him. Dad works 8 days on and 3 days off and I know his mom takes off work to be with the dad but they bring him anyway. Dad is off for 2 weeks and has brought dcb on time and picked him up right at 6 pm yesterday (when I close). He told me he is going to keep him home today and Wednesday and they will see me next week. 1 I was happy for dcb so he can spend time with his dad and 2 so I can see if he will get better at home without as many germs to compete with. Since dcb was going to be out today and I have another child on vacation the next 2 weeks I only have 1 child besides my own 2. I decided to take my 18 month old to his doctor appointment this morning and I let the parent of the one child that I do have scheduled know that I would be back by 10 at the latest. I know his dad is off today and they usually don't come until 10 anyway. I asked my husband to watch my older son and that if dcb showed up early or I am not back I time to watch dcb. My husband watches the kids when I go out which is rare. Well guess who shows up ready for breakfast? Dcb who was not coming today according to his dad yesterday. I did not make breakfast and I was not home when his mom showed up. Dcm said they changed their mind and sent him in the house with a balloon to play with. I was very upset when my husband called me at the doctors office with the news. My question is what is your policy on this and how can I say it professionally to dcm that I need a heads up because if my husband was put or we made plans based on him not bein here that would have been a problem? I was very fustrated that he was here because I go through boxes of tissues on this kid like crazy and I was really looking forward to my day with no runny nose. He also barely takes a nap so I have to keep hi quite during nap time and all my other kids are sleepers. Oh well I just need to know how to avoid this going forward. She has paid for the care but if you say your not coming I have things I can do instead.
