"The friend was an hour late picking up, because her co-parent/ex-husband did not show. She works as a labor and delivery nurse 45 minutes away and got there as quickly as she could. She and her family has also been going to this daycare for years without having any similar late pick-ups. The note read in its entirety: "The late pick up on Friday had me concerned. [Staff member] worked 7:00-7:00 because your children could not get picked up.""
"The poster adds that she was also fined $90 for being late, and they called her, not him, to do the pick-up. "I'm specifically interested in everyone's insights on the tone and delivery of the message," the poster writes. Down in the comments, parents couldn't agree on if the note was professional or not... Many comments thought that being an entire hour late was pretty egregious."
A mother arrived an hour late to pick up her children because the co-parent did not show; she is a labor and delivery nurse who commutes 45 minutes. The daycare left a note expressing concern, stating staff worked 7:00-7:00, and warned the family may not remain enrolled while advising alarms to prevent forgetting children. The family was fined $90 and staff called the mother rather than the co-parent. Reactions were split: some viewed an hour late as dangerously long, with possible CPS implications, while others criticized the director's tone and delivery. Daycare staffing pressures and parental guilt over forgetfulness were central to the issue.
