I just don't feel I should have to sit here all day waiting for kids who may or may not show up. There are some days I only have a couple kids and if neither of them show up...I'm left sitting when I could be doing so many other things outside my home.
I'm pretty sure at this point neither of these families are coming today and I so wish I believed they MIGHT...I'd leave just to be gone and maybe that would teach them to let me know in the future. I'm sure if they showed up expecting me to be here and I was gone, they may think twice about not calling next time.
I have one father that shows up whenever. I told him that if he didn't tell me the day before or call me by 9 AM, that I would charge him a $10 late fee and would increase it every time he refused to call.
