This doesn't bother me so much, until a parent fakes missing their child in front of me.

Example: DCB just shy of 2 years old. Mom is a SAHM. DCB is contracted from 7:15 - 5:00pm M - F. When mom picks up she acts like she missed DCB just so much. And I don't understand it. While I am sure she did miss her child, her actions are saying she doesn't miss him enough to not enroll him full time while she is home. It's just a show for me to try and make herself feel better. Same mom makes jokes about her being the last one to pick up.

Same child: this week older sibling is off for fall break. I closed Monday because this DCB was the only child scheduled. They are supposed to keep DCB home tomorrow, but I haven't heard the final word on that yet. Both dad AND mom are home with older sibling while DCB is here with me.

Tuition is paid on time, etc, etc. But it makes me sad for DCB. Especially because he is old enough to understand what is happening. Especially because he is a great kid.
