Termed DCB's Parents 30 Minutes Late

[SunshineMama]

Tomorrow is Dcb's last day. I termed the family and they have made these last 2 weeks he//!

They are now 30 minutes late.

How bad would it be if I met them at the door with his stuff and said don't come back?

[Mydaycare]

It will be unprofessional but if I was you I'll just do it! Good luck!

Did you ever get the withdraw form I sent to your email address?

I have written in it that if you break one policy during your term period you are immediately terminated on the spot.

[daycare]

Sorry I'm on my phone.

Have you called to ask where there re at. Or text them??

I would do it. I don't think it is unprofessional at all.

I would have done it as soon as they brought him back with diarreah.

Do you have a late fee? If so, term them and tell them the $ they paid for tomorrow's care is in lieu of the late fee so you are now even.

I would be livid if I were in your shoes. I totally agree that their behavior is directly related to the fact that you termed them.

Say goodbye today and be done with them once and for all.

They picked him up an hour late!

No, the PHB they were under does not have a late fee- I added it.

Daycare- I did not receive the e-mail, I will check and see if it went into my spam folder.

I have an interview in 3 minutes! I only had 10 minutes to prepare

So I didn't say anything at pick up bc I didn't want to have an issue if the other interview came early, or if dcps went crazo. I know it's unprofessional but I'm so tempted to text them to not come back. Im a chicken so it's hard for me to call. Dh says to stick it out one more day and be the bigger person. I don't know what to do- I never want to see any of them ever again.

[DaisyMamma]

That totally ****s. I feel for you.

i say be the bigger person....you have one day left and then you are done and you don't want any more drama...

HOWEVER........I would be telling the parents that you need them to pick up on time tomorrow. Lie and say you have an appt....I would just cease all drama right now and any possibilities for it to happen.... Kill them with kindness, make a card for daycare kid and tell them you will miss DCK...

I have termed families and did just this...kill them with kindness.....NO joke, to this date every single one of them have begged to come back at one time or another... I loved it when I got to say NO way JOSE!!!!!

[Heidi]

okay...the first word that comes to mind is oddly enough NOT normally part of my vocabulary.... douchebags!



My dh and I are still wondering what dcm that I termed will come up with. So far...just a bit of the cold shoulder. I'm ignoring it with

[littlemissmuffet]

UGH! Do not allow these a$$holes back into your home tomorrow - they have ZERO respect for you. I personally just wouldn't answer my door when they tried to drop off in the morning. I stop caring about professional as soon as I am disrespected.

That's what DH is saying too. Sigh... One more day my inner voice keeps saying to cut all ties now because that's what I want, but I suppose I should make it a clean break. I don't think I can muster up a card though.

Douchebags is too kind of a word

I don't understand human psychology sometimes. I provide above and beyond care, spend hours making gifts for mom and dad, bathe their diarrhea soaked kid on numerous occasions, put up with their lateness- and this is what I get!

My interview went well just now. I stressed my illness policy and new late fees. It was refreshing to see the new parents reactions- they said a sick child belongs with mom and they wouldn't even dream of bringing an ill child.

I actually disagree with this. If they're TRYING to be a-holes (and it sounds like they are), then telling them this will only add fuel to the fire and they're likely to be even later tomorrow.

However, if you wanted to tell them tonight that you had an appointment come up and you won't be able to take him at all tomorrow....maybe even add in that you'd have loved to talk to them about it at pick up, but they were so late that you didn't have time...
