ok wow this may be lengthy.... OK to start dcm sent me a text asking if i got a letter in the mail saying she owes a co pay starting march 20th, she goes on to say she did, she then asked me how much i charge weekly.?( in my head im like you should know) she says they say they will pay you 113.69 weekly, she then asks if she would have to pay the copay( umm duh!!)then she says or not because they pay you more than you carge right( umm no they dont) she then says im going in tomorrow to talk to them about it. These were in 6 messages before i had time to respond to one on my saturday. Finally when i was able to respnd i said i charge 115 weekly so you would pay the difference. Then she goes on in another rant saying i will pay 2.00 correct??(i dont know where she learned math) But she continues with but im not going to pay that because i told them i dont want the cash program if i have to pay for child care. Im so mad and livid. Im going in tomorrow to talk to them what days are you closed in march again?? That was 3 messages before i could respond i said it would be 1.31 and im closed the 12 and 13. she says ok perfect then i pay 1.31 every two weeks then?? i respond with yeah every 2 weeks. she says ok did you get the notice?and im not paying that cause i told them i dont want to be in the program im going in tomorrowhow much will they pay weekly?? did you get the noticewe???This was in 4 more messages. I reply with yes i got the notice and i have to have the copay before i take him because it says it is effective feb 27. she replys with yeah i know that( why did you ask me then) She then goes on with i dont have to pay you til it is in effect so i have to pay you tomorrow then?? How much do you charge a day!! this was in 3 different messages, i then again respond with yes tomorrow is the 27 and i charge 23 a day as stated in contract.she then goes on with 2 more messages saying okay i will pay that. how much do they pay you weekly?? i only pay 1.31 correct??i tell her yeah that is all you pay for a two week period they pay me 113.69 like the letter told you they pay me. she then says its not fair they didnt tell me my daycare amount would change. i quit responding i was soo irritated, this is my saturday she did ths on.... its common sense right??? She is one those people that is so used to getting what she wants that when she doesnt she throws a fit.... ughhh so annoying

UGH I have 1 of these entitled people! Sorry your Saturday was sugar coated with drama. Next time she texts/calls on a weekend I would tell her we can discuss it during business hours and be done with it.
It really kills me that there are parents paying up to $35 PER DAY for child care out of their own pocket and some subsidy parents piss and moan about paying literally PENNIES per day! I will never understand that realm of thinking. SMH -
wow, i'm glad in ontario we don't have to deal with that kind of nonsense. I would never take them on. I think you need to step up and tell her, that you don't have time for drama and she needs to decide what she is going to do. Make her sign a contract and if she fails term her. Seriously, you dont need the money that bad, we all say we do but is it really worth the headache. Oh, I have a rule, NO BUSINESS TALK ON WEEKENDS OR HOLIDAYS.Comment

...wouldn't she be charged the $1.31 per week...meaning she owes $2.62 each two weeks?
yeah, that's totally unreasonable. That's way too much for anyone to have to pay for child care!
JOKING.
Hee hee! Look, I have a signature!Comment

REALLY?? People complain about having to pay LESS THAN $2/week for daycare????? Freakin' ridiculous. In all honesty, I'd be looking for a new family!!! I am soooo glad I made the decision 9 years ago not to take subsidy clients.Comment

THIS is just another reason why I don't take state subsidy. I don't think I could tolerate parents entitlement and ignorance.
I wouldn't have even entised her in conversation. It really has nothing to do with you. You should have responded with, "Yes, I got the notice. You owe $1.31 as your copay every 2 weeks. First payment due Monday. See you then."Comment

i should have done that...Im going to give her a warning this week if things dont change se is bye bye and she can try and find someone to deal wih her bad attitude, i think im the only one around here that tolerates what i have but like i said in another post ifinally got my back bone and it sure feels good i will no longer be taking people crap...

Yes unfortunatley I have had a few families complain. None more so than my current subsidy client though. She will be the type if she gets to heaven she will complain to God that her cloud isn't soft enough.
I wish I had that choice to take private paying only but here the income guidlines are set so almost anyone can get assistance so there aren't many people who need to pay out of pocket. DCM proudly told me before that she can make $2,700.00 and still get the assistance! So obviously most of my clients are elligible for subsidy. Our pay should go higher and the assistance lower.Comment

She is complaining about paying less than $4.00 per month??? That is ludicrous!!! She should meet some my parents that write a check on the first for $800.00+ for infant care and don't bat an eye. I would SO hate to work with a parent like that.Comment

I plan on giving her a written warning because I feel like she disrespects my home. She feels like she is entitled to stuff. The other day she picked up her son and he was pointing to my cereal boxes she was all I will take some of those to go. In my head im like this is not mcdonalds I have already fed your child the required meals. Like I have stated before she takes food from my home, Uses curse words. She is just very rude and comes off like she is entitled to stuff. She will even tell me she goes to the county and yells at the workers, I want to tell her im sorry but you are not my boss... She never comes on time, When we entered a contract she had contracted hours of 7-3 she never comes on those times, I have gained a back bone and im not taking it anymore. I told her i understand if we need to change your hours but this will be the last time and if she fails to follow the schedule I will give her warnings 3 only then she is done. I hate to get rid of her because i love her son. He make me smile everyday, he is a perfect baby, But i will no longer put up with her being disrespectful this is my home and my business you will not tell me how or what you will be doing here.Comment

If you continue to put up with her continuous disrespect though, what will you be teaching her son?
I think that it is a tough choice to term a disrespectful mom vs keeping a child because you love them. I think the best thing that could happen to that boy is to term the family because of the mom. She may not learn but eventually she might and that would be a far better lesson for her son that to see someone continually put up with her bad behavior.
Sorry to sound so negative but if she behaves that way, what do you suppose her son is going to learn to be like in the future?Comment
