The mom totally freaked out and started talking about how BUSY she is and how with the amount that she pays they should do whatever she wants. Entitlement to the nth degree.

Wow. I was hoping her machine broke and she was single and had to get to work and offered to pay additional or run it herself and pay. YIKES.

What I would like to know is why a parent feels a daycare center would have the facilities let alone the time to do their laundry? I do daycare in my home and my jaw would drop to the floor if a parent came to me asking to do their laundry. I cant even do my own work until night or weekends!!

Suggest that the school should have a policy that parents will not be allowed to drop off or pick up their child if they are illegally parked in the handicapped spot. All she needs is her schedule to be upset a few minutes by having to move her car before she will learn not to do it. And if she pulls in at the end of the day, and misses the deadline because she is moving her car, then she should be charged the late pickup fee.

We have one of those entitled kinds at our daycare, too. She doesn't ask the staff to do laundry, but despite a rather large and nearly empty parking lot when she drops off, she always pulls directly into the handicap parking space. (And before anyone brings it up, she has no hang tag and no license plate to justify parking there.) BIG pet peeve of mine. The school has even sent out several notices about NOT parking in those spaces unless you qualify. She's one of those who has a vanity plate on her car detailing her profession, which I also find obnoxious. I wish the school would issue her a citation, or have her car towed, just to make an example out of her.
