Is my husband rude/daycare related
my lil girl is taken care of by a certified house day care. currently she is the only one in th house. she is taken care of from 6:30am - 5pm (meals included). This is the issue when i don't take her in i like to inform the lady at least a day in advance, jic she has errands to run she can make plans ahead. my husband thinks that there is no need, that we pay her and we don't need to inform her if my daughter is coming or not until the day of. We always get into an arguement over this cause i think its rude, he doesn't. what do you think?

Re: Is my husband rude/daycare related
I side with you on this. While I don't think it's "necessary" for you to call, I do think it's sweet & thoughtful that you do tell in advance...I would be the same way.

Re: Is my husband rude/daycare related
Totally rude.
Even in my daycare where there are 15 other kids I always call in when he won't be there so that they can plan accordingly.
Ask him how he'd like it if he got up, got ready for work, went in and they said "Oh, we decided yesterday that we didn't need you today. We figured you wouldn't mind us not calling to tell you."

Re: Is my husband rude/daycare related
I would defiinitley call in, especially since she is the only one there for now.
It will help the person watching her be able to plan her day.

Re: Is my husband rude/daycare related
I always call or let them know ahead of time, even though DD is in a center. In your case, I would especially make a point to call in advance. It just seems courteous. Plus, you want a nice relationship with the person as she is taking care of you child so the more courteous the better.

I agree with you, it is just common courtesy if you can give her notice you should. Why wouldn't you?

Re: Is my husband rude/daycare related
I agree with you...if you know in advance I think it's a nice courtesy to let her know in advance. At the end of the day yes you pay her for her services but it's not like dry cleaning...it's your child and as in any situation where you are dealing with a person...courtesy and mutual respect go a long way.

Re: Is my husband rude/daycare related
Avoid the whole argument, and just call her when DH is in another room, or at work. If you're positive you're not coming in, it just seems like common courtesy.
You pay a Dr. for an office visit, but if you don't call 24 hours in advance if you are going to miss your appointment, you get a penalty fine.

Re: Is my husband rude/daycare related
If you know in advace that you're not going to bring her in, then why would you wait to tell the sitter? Of course if it's a last minute decision, then you can call her the day of.

Re: Is my husband rude/daycare related
What would his reasoning be to wait to tell her? I do think that is completely rude.
If you know in advance then you should tell her. It is common courtesy.

Re: Is my husband rude/daycare related
I call our daycare center as soon as I know my daughter isn't attending. For me it's a matter of freeing up a teacher if the ratios work, not making meals, etc.
I think you should call - particularly because she's the only one there. If you are paying her daily, absolutely. If you're paying for even when she isn't there, it's a courtesy but one that should be extended.
