Wow, thanks a lot Laundryduchess, I needed that like I needed another hole in my head. Now I have to go redo my makeup so I don't just look like my dog just died.

Beautiful. I'm going to print it out and share it with some other providers I know.
It's so sad because it's the truth.
Thanks, for real, for writing that.

sorry unregistered, didnt mean to ruin your makeup,.. Ive had an emotional week with about 8 hours sleep since monday,.. so Im running on pure caffiene. I do think we have the most important and rewarding careers in the world, we shape people who could one day cure cancer,.... achieve world piece,.. or,... grow up to be wonderful caring people who love and respect those around them. It just ****s that people are at their best,.. before they learn how to use the toilet. Seems like thats when they start being influenced by the world and learn to be,... well. the general population.

So here is the update! LOL I gave them the letter on a Friday! They came Monday morning and I asked if they had a chance to read my letter! Mom told me I think you were confused. I said I was confused? She said, we were only thinking about sending the oldest child to the other daycare for the two weeks swimming lessons go on. Umm No, No, No not so!!!! I just said well I guess I didn't realize that was your intent and there was some miscommunication! Hmmmmm I don't know, that is NOT how she phrased the set up to me and my mother who is my substitute!! Whatever, I just let it go, didn't want to cause any drama!! Well they were waiting for the other daycare provider to get home from vacation to see if this was even an option! In the mean time I took in a toddler, he is just going to stay until school gets out and then I asked if they could find alternate care for the summer as I do not want alot of little ones this summer so we can do more things!! They are fine with that and will be rejoining us in the fall along with another toddler!! Anyway so the mom who is willing to seperate her children comes in the following week to drop off the younger child and sees I have accepted another child, little does she know he will be leaving in June, her face was priceless however, stricken panic because I know now she is thinking I filled her oldest childs spot!! Well I let it go on a few days she then asked me if I would still have a spot for her older child and if I would be willing to take her! LOL She said, we thought more about the swimming lessons thing and think that it would be silly to do that and would like to stay in your care! I said yes, but I would need the set days she will be here for the summer and that I can't keep her day off she usually takes floating because I am not taking in as many little ones this summer and have alot of activities and field trips planned and will need to know who will be here each specific day!! So we are going from there!! : ) She asked for a new contract to fill in the oldest daughters new summer schedule, So all and all I think it is working out and I just thought it was great to have the ball in my court for those couple of days, because her face was priceless and I knew she thought I had filled her childs spot!! I am not a decietful person, but they made me mad and drug it out so long, that I got great join in those couple of days seeing her panic!! Anyway we have talked this all out and I even got an apology, so we are moving on and life is good! Thanks for the advice and I will use it from now on!! It was a good learning experience, we are to much taken advantage of only when we allow ourselves to be!!! Thanks Again : )
