Parents!

wow- He said his wife would call later to rip your ass? I'd say fine, she can do that when she picks up your termination papers and your child's things. No one should disrespect you and your business like that.

Exactly!

Update? Curious as to if you have termed or if not how things are going?

Ditto! I hope things went well.

what is up with parents these days? I am reading of a lot of disrespect from clients on the boards lately. Why do people feel they can talk to other people like this?

Well, DCM just called and was venting about missing work and dcg being exposed to germs. So she is on her way.

THEN! She says I don't want you to be upset but, I talked with administration and they are going to write up a business plan so we can get a daycare opened here at work. And have a sick room for sick kids. So we don't have to miss work when our kids are sick and when our providers kids are sick.

Now what do I do????? I want to cry so bad. I'm angry and now saddened by this. And wondering how much since it makes to have a bunch of sick kids all together....

term on the spot. Don't let the door kick you in the bleep on your way out. Find another client that will appreciate all that you do. It will make you a better provider because you will have the respect of the parents.

one more thing......

don't cry. They don't deserve one more piece of you and your feelings. Just be done with this nonsense.

A sick room........ Yeah its called a hospital. UGH!!!

hugs:hug: move on

And I know it's sad... you can feel the way you do and still stand up for yourself, kwim? There's a family out there who would love a great provider like you, but this horrible excuse for a family is taking that spot :hug:

both postings from craftymissbeth-

Mary Poppins would have a bit more dignity of oneself to allow this, at least I would like to think that- Find new clients~ Best-

DH and I are going to discuss it together tonight. He is the business manager. But, does understand the issues going on. I know I would feel better for standing up for myself. Right now I'm feeling dumb for not. Grrr! I will grow a back bone!

don't feel dumb but learn from this and term them. Do you both work in the daycare? When you don't stand up for yourself you allow others to go on to treat many more people badly. End the cycle.

I just want to hug you because I can tell you have a very good heart, but at the same time I am upset that your probably going to allow this- ugh I sure hope not.

We are terming. DH would like to see the spot filled first. I want to give the two weeks and be done. They letter is drafted and ready to hand them. DH said he would be present when it was delivered as I see drama coming! I have a family wanting care starting in July. We are going to visit with them and discuss the holding fee. Also, have a family starting tentatively in a week. They have one week left to begin paying their holding fee.

We live in a very small area (like no stop light for 30 miles) and I was concerned about negative gossip etc. But, as many say people will look at the source and figure out truth from gossip.

Thank you all so much for your advice and support! :hug:

I have had one family call back and is paying the holding fee for their spot. We are meeting with the family that wants a spot in July on Monday.

Even if the second family decides not to pay the holding fee, we will be terming on Tuesday if not Monday. Today dcm said in a fake grumpy voice "____had to go to a stranger yesterday and be watched" accompanied with a nasty face. I would like to think she was joking but, after what has happened I didn't find it funny. Now, dcg has a stuffy nose and watery eyes. So I am looking for more drama if she ends of getting sick.

Dreading handing them the term letter. Not sure if I should call, give them a letter or both? Or just the letter? DH will be present at all pick ups and drop offs once I give them the letter. If he isn't available he suggested I record conversation with my phone and to of course let parents know what I am doing.

update?

[Jack Sprat]

They are still here. We gave the family looking for care to start in the summer two weeks to decide if they want to hold their spot or risk it being gone. We are terming but haven't put a date on it. I admit it I don't want to loose the money right now. We would do fine without them as I was doing fine before. But, I do like the money. I told DH that as long as they are here I can't complain as I know what we need to do.

DCD hasn't said much lately except that DCM wants to quite her job. I hear that from him almost daily. DCM is well according to facebook stressed out. She mentioned to me how it was so hard on her working three jobs...mom, maid, and her full time job. My response was to stand there dumbfounded and say nothing.

Honestly, I dread terming them. I want to, need to, and will. I just dread handing DCM the letter. I don't want the conflict and nastiness that will follow.
