So DS1 was sick this morning and couldn't go to preschool so I text DS2's childminder (after trying to phone but no answer) to say I was keeping him home as I couldn't get DS2 to her (20 minute drive away) without loading puking DS1 into the car too...the response is ah sorry for you...I will have to charge as it's in the contract. Only don't charge if DS2 is ill or if I (cm) is ill.
Fair enough but two weeks ago she could have DS2 as her DD was ill. Obviously its a pain if I can't get him to her just as its a pain if she cant have him if one of her own DC's is ill...but I didn't expect a free session to make up for my inconvenience so am I being unreasonable to expect to not be charged for today?
