    I completely see where you are coming from. This is the hard part of the job for me. I get emotionally invested in these children. I hug them, read them books, know their favorite color, know what comforts them, kiss their boo boo's. I understand the parents choose/have to work, but the kids should feel safe and loved, so I feel it's my job NOT to keep a distance. It's just who I am. I've had children for three years, most of my kids I've had for that time I would be REALLY upset if they dropped a bomb is passing like that. I would think "hey, I've poured my heart and soul into your child, you at least owe me something more than "Yo, the 14th's the last day, peace out". They may be feeling bad, not an excuse, but it might be hard for them too?

    Financially it stinks, and finding/learning about/extra work with a new child is initially a pain in the tush. It is the job we signed up for, and we can and do **** it up... just doesn't make it any less frustrating. So I feel for you!

    Good luck, and hopefully they give you a token of appreciation on the last day. Cards are my favorite.

      If you're looking at the money aspect (since you can't change the fact that they're leaving ) I would let her know that 2 weeks, or 14 days, would put her at the week of the 17th since she gave notice the 3rd. Explain she can bring her that week or pay it without attendance. That is IF you are worried about that last week of a paycheck AND you do weekly and not daily rates. I myself might consider just taking what she gave, but it would depend on my mood and how I felt about DCF
