[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We went through this too.  Then a couple of months later my hours changed and I picked DS up earlier than everyone else.  Then I got...Why do you pick me up so early?  I want to keep playing with my friends. [/quote]

I work at a daycare, so I see my fair share of this scenario. It’s mostly envy, because other kids got some thing first. Kids don’t like being the last in line, the last to get their snacks, the last to get the Play-Doh, etc. they don’t like being the last to be picked up. It’s not so much that they really want to go home. I had one family who always picked up last, and their son would always remarked that he was lost. Then like the pp their schedule changed and they were the second to get picked up. Guess which little boy didn’t want to leave early? It’s also a phase so they will grow out of it soon. Please don’t try and feel guilty. You are working and if you have a good teacher, they will emphasize to your children that you love them, and will be there to get them as soon as you can.
