She got the silent treatment... NOTHING back.
Then she picked up 17 minutes after her contracted pickup and was handed a late fee.
Her gift for the new year just might be finding a new provider! UGH!!! I'm so mad right now!Comment

So far I have not had any complaints this year, but last year I did and I just said, sorry this is a family holiday have fun with yours, I will be with mine.

So annoyed for you! I hate when parents do that because even though they are in the wrong, it makes me the "bad guy" and even though I swear I won't, I find myself stewing over it which takes away some of my enjoyment of the day.
But I like not justifying it with a response. She knows the answer, IMO she's being RUDE by asking. Or even just a "No." With no explanations or placating.Comment

if this were me, I would need piece of mind that there was closure to this drama.
I would just respond with, sorry this is a paid closed holiday......
Years ago I had a dcf that did something like this to me on 4th of july. they were from a diff country so they didn't get it. they text me to tell me that they still needed to drop off and they had to work. They were self employed. Well long story short, I didn't respond, they showed up. DCD said oh, you didn't get my text....UGH I was so mad, they termed care on the spot that day and I could not be happier, but it stunk having to go through that.
So now I always make a point to make sure that I am proactive and just say NO.... sorry that makes me think of a program I taught back in the 90's....it was DARE program, their motto was just say no................

it gets better- she showed up and 'forgot' that payment was due today for next week (payment is due the last day the child is in care or care is available that week).
Proceed argument about when she COULD pay me. I even said that I would take a post dated check OR I can process credit card payments Friday. GRRRRRR GRRRRRR GRRRRR.Comment

It's called the new generation of high maintenance parents. The kind that bring them to you when they feel sick and go back home to rest! Give me a break! Some people just don't understand REAL parenting! I feel sorry for their children as adults!Comment

These ARE the children of the adults that did this.
Most the parents I have now days have zero clue about how to raise a child, let alone how to say no and follow through with it.
The blame falls on their parents for not teaching them responsibility.
What we see now as parents is the result of their own upbringing so we can't really blame them....most of them require as much parenting as their child.
For the first time, providers are finding themselves having to parent/educate both the adult and the child(ren) of the families we serve.

I agree! The funny thing is a few of my parents are about the same age or a couple of years older than me, and I still have to teach them how to parent their child, and I have no children myself. Some of these parents just have no common sense. They use the "I'm still learning this is my first child" excuse or "I'm reading (insert parenting book)". If I used these types of excuses, I wouldn't have lasted in this profession long. And these excuses don't cut it especially when we are talking about their second child.These ARE the children of the adults that did this.

I think the problem is these parents do not spend enough quality time with their children to get to know their child's quirks, wants, and needs. I get most parents need to work, but if you are not going to enjoy being with your child, why even have them in the first place. It's sad when a dck rather comes and follows me around then his/her own parent when we are in the same vicinity because dck knows I give/show affection and attention to him/her (happened at our Christmas party).Comment

Update?? Please tell me you termed them!!! She comes late, doesn't pay on time, and whines that you take days off. She's acting like a 3 year old, and what makes it worse is that SHE DOESN'T EVEN WORK! She didn't even NEED to bring her kid to you the day after Christmas!
I'm sure I'll get flamed for this opinion, but you don't get to call yourself a SAHM if you put your children in daycare 5 days a week so you can "get stuff done"
