I live in an expensive area so I am lucky that my parents don't have financial problems, but even though I get paid I am dealing with a lot of rude and inconsiderate behavior.
I have three families out of ten who are consistently early to drop off and late to pick up.
I am the kind of person who is always worried about inconveniencing others, so this behavior has left me with my mouth hanging wide open in disbelief.
Example :
Mom arrives at 7:13 when I open at 7:30.
I am a moron, so I open the door.
Mother hands me 11 month old and says she just scoopedbaby out of the crib and put her straight into the car. Baby needs a diaper change and is still in pjs.
I'm doing everything I can not to make that Home Alone face with the hands on my cheeks.
Mom leaves, I go about feeling used and sad for this baby.
So I typed up a letter to remind parents of my upcoming holidays, reiterating that I follow the public schools when it comes to snow days/delays/early release and that children must be gone at 5:30 or I will apply fees and eventually term.
I feel resentful because I feel like they have made me uncomfortable in my own home because of their disregard for my time and efforts.
I am thankful to this forum because it taught me to have a backbone about this behavior, but I still don't like having to pull out that whip!
Letters went home today, I just said briefly that they were policy reminders. I'm not looking forward to tomorrow morning!!!!
Thanks for listening, I think I feel better after getting this off my chest.
