Why Do I Stink At This???

[wahmof3]

Oh would it not be nice right now to have the phone ringing off the hook with clients looking for care, and have the ideal families show up for interviews. It would be nice to let current mom know her spaces had been filled with parents more than willing to pay your rates without hesitation.

One can dream right

So she hasn't responded at all about any of this?

[EntropyControlSpecialist]

I'd love to know what she has said.

[wahmof3]

No response.

Go figure. She is probably making calls and will let me know something Wednesday or AFTER.

You gave her a Wednesday, August 7th deadline right?

No matter what, stick with it. Even if she calls the morning of the 8th. She NEEDS to be taught that YOU are the boss of YOUR business NOT her.

Sometimes NO amount of money is worth dealing with clients who treat you like dirt.

Best advice I've ever received from this board. Definitely listen to BC.

Yes she has until 4:30p on Wed August 7.

I plan on sending her a text at 4:31 if I had not heard anything and then be ready to move on.

I do already have ads out

[Familycare71]

Sorry! Forget its a diff time zone- it's 10:10 here

However this turns out, good for you. Either she will agree to abide by your terms or you will get a new family who is more respectful of your business and appreciates you. :hug:

Well its Deadline Eve...... and nothing yet.

Seriously?

Well, atleast you know now that she likes to be the one in charge and you took that from her.

Sending good wishes your way for a quick fill of the space (with a client who actually respects you)!

Today is the deadline. Still nothing. Obviously- DCM is ticked.

I have a slew of emotions right now.

I am feeling bad bc I know child care is expensive. (my bills still need paid)

I am feeling anxious bc of not knowing what this family is doing. (come on 4:30)

I am feeling sad bc I will miss the kids if they leave.

Most of all I am mad/hurt bc this is how she wants to be after 4 years??? and all of this is over $25 or one day the older DCK will not be here and yet will still be here full time status.

Have a feeling its going to be a long day.

Looking forward to being out of this limbo.

[momofboys]

Kup!!

[wahmof3]

DRUM ROLL PLEASE..........

They are returning and at full time status!!!!!

YAY for me!!!

Deep cleansing breath and weight off my shoulders.
