Really???
I'm not a bad person just because I'm not willing to give away free daycare. I work hard and I provide excellent care. I think that there are situations where people do have hard luck and I really do feel bad for them, but I'm not willing to compromise my own family's needs just to help out parents who are down on their luck. I don't owe anyone anything except the service that they PAY for.
I fully agree with you. I have given free childcare, but I offered it. They DID NOT ask.
I offered it to a previously enrolled/paying family when DCD was in a freak accident and had a fractured spine/lost an eye; Ironically while doing volunteer work
If I see someone sincerely trying, I will do anything in my power...
But....things caused by their personal life choices??? Eh, not my responsibility....
