Very Frustrated, What To Do

[daycare]

Yep call them monday the spot is taken sorry and i wish u luck in your daycare search. end story!

Ugh sorry you had such a bad time with all this!!

i swear DCP can act just like their kids when they dont get their way......

I'd call them back TODAY.

I'd say you had a couple hours to think on it and the more you thought about it, the more you realize that this will not work. If they argue I'd say "Look, I'm sorry your arrangement isn't what you thought it would be and that you feel you'll have to pay more out in the long run, aren't able to get off at 6, and whatever else, but that was your choice when you jumped ship the first time and I am not someone who can just be jerked around like that. I have a family I, too, have to support and think about. I hope that when you do move and find other care, you'll consider the feelings and position of the provider you pick for your child."

I wonder if they are going to sit by the phone on Monday waiting for your call ::::

STOP entertaining them. Call them or email them now and tell them "Based on our conversation this afternoon, and DCM lack of respect for me and my business policies, I will not be able to re-enroll your child. Best wishes to you and yours"

She has NO RIGHT to get ANGRY because you have policies. I GUARANTEE you she wouldn't pull that with the program that charges an arm and a leg.....

Don't stress all weekend about it. Call or email now and rid yourself of the drama. They made their bed, let them lie in it.

Actually something that I was thinking about in regards to my own clients who wanted to pull, again, and my response to that mom. If you make your bed, then YOU get to lay in it people.

crystal you must be talking to my husband,.....he said the same thing. he said do it now I don't want to hear one word about it this weekend.......

he said that they (sorry for the words) screwed themselves....... I guess the same thing you said about the bed....

BTW funny story...the first that I heard this expression, I thought that it meant you could make your bed while you were still in it....No I did not try it, but my friends almost pee their pants laughing at me

[TheGoodLife]

yes my thought exactly AND the kicker is that they are not open as late as I am. One parent pushed me 2 years ago to stay open later by 30 minutes because they could not EVER get to daycare before 6pm. So that kind of made me mad that all of a sudden they could change their schedule to support the new schools hours, but they could never do it for mine. BTW I have now dropped back to a 530 closing time and WILL NOT change it back to 6pm.

I wouldn't agree to just the pay ahead for August unless you were going to raise rates- they would be getting away with a free hold for their entire summer. MAYBE offer a reduced rate of 1/3 during the months- a good compromise for both?

You have a wonderful backbone, way to use it and stand up for yourself!!!
Dcm is just mad at herself for messing with a good thing and taking it out on you. No way in HE!! would I re-extend my hours just to accommodate them when they clearly could make it at 5:30 for the 'academy'. Should've told her maybe for an extra $1100 a month you would.

Ooops, I posted that before reading the rest of the events... I hope you did call them immediately and not taken the weekend to stew over it- what a ridiculous way to try to get someone to do you a favor and care for your kids, especially on a short-term basis
