So Angry

[msblake]

I keep going back and forth on how I should word it/talk to her tomorrow. What are your suggestions?

"Hey Sally, about yesterday..... I need to let you know that none of my clients are allowed upstairs at any time, for any reason. This is absolutely non negotiable. I will not be able to keep you as a client if this policy is violated by yourself or your children, effective immediately."
Or "Hey Sally, about yesterday.....your intrusion into my personal living space was totally unacceptable, and I am terminating care, effective in two weeks. I cannot debate this decision with you, my decision is final. "

Don't pose any questions, two sentence statement, and turn and walk away. It's not open to debate, so don't let her try to "discuss" it with
you.

WELCOME !

How about: "I will no longer be watching your child because of incidents like the jumping on my bed and not cleaning up the spilled laundry detergent. These kinds of behaviors are unacceptable and I no longer want this kind of behavior at my house."

Welcome to the forum!

UGH! Things like this make me sooo mad! No appreciation that it is YOUR home... Grrrr... I feel your pain!

[Tay]

Just breath, I know its hard and I would be upset too. Tomorrow go over things with mom that you tolerate and will not tolerate in your daycare. Give her a warning so she is not totally clueless as to what went wrong when you do decide enough is enough and termed them. Best of luck! <hugs>

Reminds me of the time I had a dcd come into my bedroom looking for me in the morning because I wasn't in the playroom when he arrived 5 minutes early. I told him not to come into my room again because he might see something he would wish he hadn't.

Omg--I can't even imagine! Some people have no concept of boundaries.

I would have no problems terming that family.

[Brooksie]

I would have termed immediately and told them to get out of my house immediately and do not expect to be coming back.

I will do it this way. I am so nervous!!! She will be coming shortly. I would like to do it over the phone but I'm afraid if I do that she will skip out on payment.

[Rockgirl]

Good luck! Please let us know how it goes.

I would have done the same. NO respect, NO services, don't let the door hit ya....

Do you have parents pre-pay for services or pay after services?

If she does skip out on payment, there are options for pursuing it if you have a signed contract outlining situations like this.

Hang in there...you can do it! We've got your back....

Keep us posted as to how it goes.

All my families pre pay. But since she lost her job, her unemployment doesn't come until the end of the week. So I adjusted her pay day until she got a job. It's only for 2 days but still not going to let it go.
