I am so cross, possibly because I've been up most of the night and may need a little perspective.
I'm a childminder. I work with several families on a part time basis. Most accept my policies and follow the rules I set for my business.
I have one family of a 1 year old who I have 1 - 2 days per week, depending on the parents shifts. The child comes every Thursday and the occasional Friday. At drop off yesterday dad told me she'd been a bit out of sorts and it was probably just teething. No worries. Obviously I can deal with a teething baby. Gets my sling out, pops baby in that and we have an ok day.
Last night I woke at 2 and haven't been off the loo since then.
Messaged the parents to say I was going to have to close today and mum responds with, oh dear, she had a poorly tummy most of the week, hope you don't have that. FFS, I now have to let down 4 families of school age children because they choose not to follow procedures. It's the second time they've done this. They send their child having thrown up on a morning, that time we were sort of lucky that only DD caught that one and was only I'll on a day I had no littles so didn't loose as much.
So closing today, and possibly monday, depending on when I stop shitting, is going to cost between £180 and £400. So pissed off.
WIBU to give them notice?
