It does suck for sure, but that's why you need to have other backup lined up in case this happens. I'm a DCP on post and I have a list of three others that can usually accept kids if I can't for some reason. Are you not close to a post that has hourly care? Is your provider an FCC provider?
Ah, I see. Well in that case, that really sucks. I think that other FCC provider should have done more to help you. She could have called her director. If you don't mind me asking, which post are you at?
