Last school year, when my neighbor found a full-time job his oldest son called me in tears frightened because his dad wasn't home yet and he didn't know what to do. I told this kid to come over. He was 5 what else was I suppose to do. That's when the trouble started. Dad was habitually late and I ended up taking care of this kid after school more often than I cared to. I even went so far and to tell Dad that they needed a permanent solution to their problem and that I wasn't a day care. I gave them a name and phone number of a lady in the neighborhood that runs a day care.
Now our new school year just started and we're on day 3 and who do you think showed up at my door after school because Dad wasn't home? You guessed it! I can't be this families permanent daycare solution. I have 3 kids of my own and work to do. What can I tell these people that will sink in? I don't want to turn a 6 year old out on the street for Gods sake.
Please help.
