Question about respite care

My FS's are sceduled to go to respite care on the 20th thru the 29th. My question is: what have you been expected to provide when your kids went and who has paid for it?

My CW is telling me I am expected to pay them my per diem for each child from my check AND provide diapers, wipes, food and formula. I don't have a problem with the formula since we get WIC, but the other comes from the check, that they will be getting while they have them. Plus, we still have to pay their daycare fees even though they won't be there. I am guessing I have to send bottles too. I am just concerned I won't get them back. That probably sounds silly, but I don't know these people.

The whole reason they are going is I am going out of town and it is too much for my husband to handle alone. Honestly, I am SO past ready for this to be over. They have been with us 5 months and I never expected it to be this long. What happened to short-term?

Thanks for your help in advance.
