    Please Help Me!!

    Hi, dcp

    While dropping off their child on Wed. After I ask for more diapers….I was hit with “This will be his last week.” I said, Oh WOW in shock.!!
    I ask, was there anything I could improve?! I will take any constructive cristism!
    “No, it’s not you he's too clingy, he only goes to you and me, he does’nt even go to his mom when I'm around, family members or anything.” He needs to be around more kids.

    All this week the mom was very nice she would speak b/f leaving and arriving. she's never done that in the pass. the last day of him being here she gave me a lot of his belongings, she handwritten me a card along with a gift card that read "Thanks for bearing with her being late, the good/ bad. Lastly she's happy that he would be back for drop in care. ()

    She explained to me she would need me in the summer for her daughter b/c her husband would be taking her older sibling away out of town for a tournament and days that the school is closed on the holidays for her and the toddler.

    The thing is I don’t give drop in care but I’m always letting her get over with small things b/c I’ve been having him for so long…. The last day I gave her some business cards. and told her I wouldn’t won’t to loose the relationship with her but really I did! I was waiting to fill up again b/f I enfrorced my rules on the dcp’s and soon to term them.

    A little history of mom:

    * is always late- use to call but not anymore.
    *She once paid on time for first month after that start paying on wed then changed to Friday's. Would say she left the check book at home or pay on Thursday’s one day I brought it to her attention why she was about to leave and she said, “oh don’t’ worry you going get paid.” When she return with the check I told her, “I would never think she’ll not pay. I thought maybe your husband forgot.” She left with a nasty smile.
    * She slams the door, , or when signing out she slams the pen down. when she's upset. gives other daycare parents nasty looks talk about them. I can go on........
    *She has aked me to pick up her child for school b/c other daycare was close which she called me the night before to do so.
    *Only complain when she knew she was tight on money
    Ex: he's clothes are kinda dirty, How long does he sleep, is he learning anything? (at 11 months he was’nt talking). Ect…

    I could go on........

    What should I do? I’ve been having him since he was 3 months now he’s 18 months.

    I will tell her politely you don't give those services anymore, it sounds that it was about time for them to leave and for what I can read it's a relationship you really don't want or need. Talk to them and let them know.

      I dont know if you were aware you posted this exact same thread under another name...

      But anyway, I'd tell her it will be based on availability, and when she needed it, I'd not be available. This does not sound like a person you want to.do business again, especially on a part-time, drop-in basis. Her lateness and nonpayment will be to the tenth power.

        I would tell her that I do not do drop in care and that you hope that all goes well for them in the future. I would not deal with someone like that. I personally would have termed when payments were always late and she had a nasty attitude.
