I tweaked some areas of my contract last week and told parents I needed the filled out forms back no later than this morning. Everybody had theirs back yesterday or before....except THAT parent. That's right...the one with 6 kids. I called last night to remind her that the kids couldn't stay this morning unless I had the forms. She said she'd bring them.
The doorbell rings this morning. Here are the kids on the doorstep. I look up to see Mom racing off in her car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She always comes to the door, so I know it was deliberate.
It just happens that her ex was dropping off his son. He heard me call after her. He shoved the baby through the door and told me he'd get her back!!!
So a few minutes later, a very red-faced woman arrives back at the day care and admits she forgot the papers. It was hard, but I ushered all the kids back out the door and told her they could be here when the paperwork was here.
I could tell she wasn't happy about loading six kids back in her vehicle, but I am so tired of her expecting special favors because she has that many.
She drove home, got the forms and brought them and the kids back to me.
I don't think she'll try that again.......
