Daycare Center and Family Home Forum>I Said NO And It Feels Good!!

I generally have no problem using my backbone when it comes to most of my daycare policies but can sometimes get a little wimpy on money related issues and I ALWAYS have problems saying no to things that really aren't a policy - like little extras that aren't really defined.
So today DCM asks if her PT child can come one of her FT child's days because FT child will be home sick. I said NO.
They see it as me just having one of their kids instead of the other but I see it entirely different. They pay 2 different rates, they each have their own sick/vac days to use and FT child will be leaving to go to preschool in August so I want to keep things separate. DCM looked a little taken back when she left and I almost started to second guess myself but the more I thought about it the prouder I got that I said no right off the bat.
