Worst Inteview Ever!!

Update? I'm really curious to know what they said in response to your rejection. Lots of people don't realize they have to pay for enrollment, not just attendance, but I've never heard of someone blowing up like this.

I'm curious if this guy is really going to have the nerve to want to come back. I'd be embarrassed of my DH if he ever acted in this way and for THAT reason alone I wouldn't want to sign up with that daycare. Do people really have no shame? :confused:

Update??

Yes ma’am.

Update

Just got a text from the mom saying they decided to look elsewhere because they dont agree with my policies. I did not text the mom back. I E-mailed them last night telling them they would not be a good fit for my daycare...they must not have received it. I kind of wish I knew if they did or not so I can get the satisfaction of them knowing that I also did not want them. I wonder if that Father even realizes he did anything wrong

After I sent my E-Mail last night I wish I would have told them the Fathers rudeness & disrespect is the reason why I would never became their child care provider, just like some of you have said. He didnt deserve just a "your family isnt a good fit email"

I would definitely text her back & wish her good luck & let her know that due to the disrespectful behavior/swearing, etc. exhibited last night during the interview you wouldn't have been able to accept them anyway. I think parents need to know why sometimes. I mean really, that is scary for an interview. Who acts like that - don't they realize they are making a terrible 1st impression?! I am sorry you had to go through that. My DH usually is present during my interviews. That is horrible that you went through that. I would have cried too!

"they must not have received it"

I bet they got the email and Mum is :
a) so embarrassed is ignoring fact she received it
or b) can't believe you sent that email so is trying to get one over you by sending you the text

I wouldn't get into a narky text exchange trying to out do each other ... let it go and be thankful you dodged a bullet so to speak.

3 yr old, 3 days a week. Babysitter quit so they wanted to get him in a home daycare to interact with other children.

Everything was fine for about the first 45 minutes, they said they wanted me & they liked everything...they were nice. Once I started talking about my contract with charging when he wont come & when he is sick. The dad literally blew up on me! Saying how in the heck can I do that, I'm not paying you when my son doesn't come( he said this multiple times)...basically said if my house was a sh*t hole he would have walked right out the door once He heard that but he was giving me respect because my house is nice & I have a nice set up...blew up on me some more saying He doesn't have extra money to be paying me for services when he isn't using them.I was so worked up, As soon as they left I went outside to find my husband...I started bawling my eyes out & shaking so bad. The dad turned into a complete jerk...the mom's attitude totally changed also. The dad said well we might just use you two days a week then. Then he asked me what he is suppose to do when their son is sick & asked me how sick he has to be for me not to take him.

I have never had someone at an interview disrespect me so badly.

Like honestly he scared the crap out of me once I seen that side of him

I will be E-mailing them in a little bit to tell them I feel they are not a good fit for the spot I have open.

The minute he blew up and said he can't afford that, I would have tried to say in the calmest voice I could manage "I understand your concerns and I agree this probably wouldn't work out. Thank you for your interest and your time" and try to get them out the door ASAP! Kill them with kindness and don't let them see they got to you or try to stoop to their level (not that I'm saying you did, just in general). They had their chance and they blew it.

He had no right coming into your business (which is also your HOME!) and disrespect you like that! I think I can see why the babysitter quit; and she was most likely getting paid more than you charge (babysitters usually get paid by the hour and charge at least minimum wage).

So sorry you had to deal with this! I suggest next time making them leave as soon as the interviewee argues with one of your policies. There is a big difference between clarifying a policy and arguing with it.
