I just hired an assistant to cover a new baby that is starting in a few weeks. A dcm just came to pick up her son early - he was crying and she felt guilty - and told me she was probably going to stop coming because he really doesn't need to come and she feels guilty sending him. I just hired someone, and now I am losing a signigicant amount of my bottom line each week.
The child was crying - it was his first day back after being out for 2 weeks sick. He also is pretty manipulative, and now his parents just gave in and came to get him early, showing him that if he cries, he gets his own way.
This is a part-time family who is pretty unreliable anyway, but I am really stressed about the money aspect of this. I can't get rid of the assistant, because of the ages of the children I care for. I am so frustrated, and feel like I am cracking a bit today.
