We lost power last Saturday and JUST got it back yesterday. We had a generator, but we didn't get it until Tues. night and it only had 3 outlets so we camped Christmas Eve in our basement with 2 space heaters and had Christmas down there. We lost hundreds of dollars of food ( I stock up at sales for the dc), had to stay at our family member's houses, half of the family got sick...fun times, fun times...
I had to close all of last week ( I was only open 2 days, but still). I got a call from a dcp asking if she could not pay for last week since her child couldn't come.
She went on and on on how her husbands place of employment lost power so he couldn't work (he works at a car dealership so I highly doubt that) and that they made him go to work Friday.....with NO pay...which I know she is lying about that, that's ILLEGAL, I'm not dumb! She then goes on to say that she had to lend money to a friend to put gas in her generator and they dumped lots of money into theirs, so she doesn't want to pay and she can't pay for the upcoming week because they don't have any money. What nerve she has to call and ask me to not pay! I have it in my policy that I have 5 paid sick/personal days and only used 2 all year. I told her I would think about it and we could maybe work something out BUT...
I thought about some of you on here and while I did kind of feel bad for this dcm, I used my backbone and told her she has to pay for last week and I have sick/personal days for a reason. I did offer for her to pay for next week on Thurs. when she got paid (I know I shouldn't have). I had to leave a message and so far she hasn't responded. I am half hoping she won't come back. This is my munchausen mom and liar mom who is all drama. I really won't be sad if she doesn't come back and now that I have had time to think, I am so angry at her. I'm not made of money, this is my business and I have rules! Like others have said, as with any other bills, they have to be paid, lenders don't care if you don't have the money or not!
On the bright side, my family was together for Christmas and we made it work! Hope everyone had a great Christmas!

op if you don't already have something about this in your contract I would revise. No way should you even have to explain or use your sick personal days for Mother Nature issues.
