"I know people who have gotten to work and realized they forgot to drop off their kids and had to go back."
She must have a clientele of complete morons. Sad.
When our first was in daycare, we'd get a call if a dropoff was not made and was expected (which happened a few times because of vacation or appointments). I guess that's what the $250/week was for.
Luckily, our daycare days are over.
