    DCM already sent me an email saying she over reacted and that they are really sorry can they at least keep the other child here.

    I was pretty mad last night, so I did not respond yet, but the answer will be NO.

    They showed their true colors and I don't care to work with people like that.
    Wow~ I can't say I am surprised that they behaved so childishly but I sort of am.

    I am glad that you were able to see their true colors before re-enrolling their child again.

    The mom is again showing her "real" self by e-mailing you that she over reacted. I would be super worried that every time they didn't get their way, they would over react and pull....which is so childish and so not fair to their child(ren)

    Let me know what you say in response to them. It will be interesting to see how they react depending on what you are going to do. (take them or not take them).

    Hang in there.... not all parents are like this.

      Wow! That 'humble pie' didn't go down so well did it?!

      I would be very happy to see them move on! Hate parents who think they control OUR business.

      Good riddance and good luck!

      Do their children over-react and throw fits when they don't get what they want? High maintenance! Bye bye!!!

        I would say sorry, I already contacted people on my waiting list when you pulled Johnny yesterday. Explain that you run a business, not a revolving door of emotional manipulation. Good luck finding someone else!!

            I am not too surprised either. They moved the older kid for "status" purposes, they told me with their words that they wanted their child to have more and that the child outgrew my program. I should have just reminded them of that, but my fault I got blinded by money, shame on me.

            I will let you know what response I get when I send the email. I just sat down for the first time today, so it is email time...........I hate this part of the biz.

            why can't people just be fair...,......

                When you are the primary earner it is easy to think how helpful additional income would be for your family.

                Many hugs.

                  after a few email exchanges, both of the kids are here. I got the original rate that they offered me and I got a raise with the little one. The DCM has not stopped saying sorry, but we shall see.

                  This whole week we started a trail week for the older to make sure that he still fits into our group, the parents still have him enrolled at the other place until I say the final yes or no.

                  hopefully things turn out ok.

                      I cant help but feel jaded by it. I am feeling not so good about the dcm now. I think she may have shown her true colors and now that she has done this I may not be able to let it go. I know I should, but you know how it just taints you a bit when someone does something like this to you..,.

                        Absolutely! She did show you how spiteful she could be. As long as you're covered by your contract (did you write up a new one for these rate changes?) then do what you can! Sometimes no amount of money can make up for the crap people put you through. You now know she has the potential of being a real B!
