Seriously? They Actually Showed Up Today?

Do you have anything in your contract about not picking up or dropping off during nap time? If you do, when he comes in the morning, meet him at the door with his things and tell him that you will no longer take their child as he clearly has some illness that they have refused to address, he paid you late, even after you reminded dad about it AND he picked up during nap time, when it is clearly stated in your contract that you don't allow it.

If it isn't in your contract, then just go with the first two reasons. I'm sorry but you are being WAY too nice to them. Let them go now or the next two weeks will be h.e.l.l. on you.

omg. they are going to be so annoying for the next few weeks or at least that is what I think. Trying to get the last "word". Expect more bad diapers and other passive aggressive actions like suddenly forgetting to send things the kid has always had before, showing up early or late. blech....I hate this. They think they are being all sneaky but its so obvious.

My phb says parents are welcome any time but please avoid coming during nap time. Stupid me sent him with his blankie and paci because the child was woken up while napping, and I bet they "forget" them tomorrow. They are just looking for something wrong and causing me undue stress for no reason. I have to be so careful and follow my contract, so especially since they paid me, even though it was late by a few hours, my contract doesn't even cover me enough to term them on the spot. And they are being so passive aggressive I have to be careful. This stinks!

Just let this be a lesson learned. My contract is everything i have learned and dealt with over the past 20 some odd years. Re -do your contract and have the families there now sign it and then present it to any new clients. You should protect yourself in the new contract. Cover pick up and drop off and anything else that pother providers have provided that may be of personal intrest to you.

Yes, he did finally send the payment to my account. So I guess that means dcb will be here tomorrow, and dcp's will randomly come whenever tomorrow.

When I have termed or someone gives me notice, I will have them sign the document they gave me, if they notified me or I create one for them to sign, if I am terming them.

On it, I will write on the term form, that should they break any policies of the PHB during their term period, that they will be removed from care immediately. I will make a short list of things that will get them kicked out on the spot. Usually its things that they were doing wrong in the first place.
EX:

sending child ill to care
not paying on time
failure to call when child will be out

I can share with you what I give them.. I call it a withdraw form, not term letter.

Do you mind PM'ing it to me? I love the idea of the list of things that will get them kicked out on the spot. I wish I had that last week! This family is like having a crash course in business management. I thought I had myself pretty well covered until they exposed all of the weaknesses in my PHB and contract. I so so so need an immediate termination clause. Now I am going to pay for it for the next 2 weeks

ok I will send a sample to you so that you can see...
Hopefully I can find one of someone I termed, because I have not termed anyone in some time.

I cant find one that I did not turn into a PDF I can email you if you are willing to give me your email address via PM.....

Coffee grounds in vomit or a bowel movement is usually curtled old blood. I would not be humming and hawing over what to do here as baby needs to go to the dr ASAP. I'm so worried about the little guy and your liability if he were to become violently ill while in your care. You know he is sick. Call for pick up. At this point too I'd call CPS and report if you don't hear they have taken him to the Dr. He needs to be seen.

The nonpayment is just the icing on the cake for me. I dont envy this situation at all.

What the above poster said... Coffee grounds in vomit or BM is not something that should be ignored. It is most likely blood. That child needs to see the Dr. ASAP! Oh golly - what is wrong with those parents?
