I used to hold a particular dcm in very high regard. She always corrected her older son and made him say yes ma'am. She always makes the little dcg apologize and cleanup before she leaves. She seemed to be very concerned about teaching her children manners. I have always bragged about her. Early on, I had a problem with her trying to slip out the door on Fridays so that she wouldn't have to pay on time. Because of this and other reasons, I implemented a 3 strike rule in regards to late payments and late pickups. Once since the rule has been implemented she tried to send her husband on Friday hoping that I wouldn't ask him for payment. They gave me a sob story about all the had was $60, and could they pay me on Monday. All of the parents are aware that they can talk to me openly about financial problems but not in excess. She tried to be sneaky about this.
She works a split shift and use to pick the toddler up and bring her back later until it became disruptive. Since she has had this free time to herself in the middle of the day,it seems that she has filled this time with social activities. So much to the point that she is constantly facebooking on her phone when she tags along on fieldtrips while her child runs wild. She is always on the phone at pickup so I never get to giver any updates, etc..
Before she left for Christmas break, she paid me for the time she would be gone.(I also gave her a generous break on the amount she would have to pay) She told me that she would be back this past Friday to pay me for this week.(The child will return tomorrow) She did not show up on Friday. I texted her Friday and asked if the child would be back this week.(I wasn't sure.) I was actually going to tell her not to worry about driving up on Friday, and that she could just pay me on Wed. when she returns. When she only texted back that the child would be back on Wed. and said nothing about payment I knew that she was being shady again.
I should have just been upfront and told her that I needed payment that day, but I didn't.
She will just show up tomorrow and hand me the money I guess.So rude. I have other parents that may not be the perfect parents, but they go out of their way to pay me even if their child is absent that day.
One parent who picks up at 3:00 comes back every Friday at 5:30 after her husband gets paid. Another mother who's child leaves to go with dad every Thursday drives out of her way to my house every Friday morning without the child in order to pay me.
I know this is a rant,but I just think it is ironic that someone who is constantly barking at their children to say please, thank you, yes ma'am, and no ma'am is the rudest, shadyiest person of the bunch with a cell phone strapped to her face!
Ok, I'm done.
Thanks for listening daycare forum.
BTW, I will hold this against her for the 3 strike rule. I think she is doing this becaues I will be moving soon and my bunch is dwindling down so she thinks I need the money no matter what. Respect level= dwindling
