Am I Being a B%&@#

[Unregistered]

I have a deposit, that is supposed to get applied to the last week of care when two week notice is given. But I think she is counting on using that since she gave her two weeks notice. She does have some help, but not as much as she needs, or she wouldn't be paying me for sure. I guess I am pretty much her only option. Should I text her and tell her I won't keep them tomorrow without pay and late fees? Should I just tell her at the door oh sorry? I know tons of questions I am still learning to be tough. Oh her deposit is only one week of fees also.

When she shows up tomorrow if she doesn't have her late fees turn her away. if she doesn't return you still have the deposit for the 1 week. After that you have to make the decision to pursue her legally or chalk it up as a loss. In the business your in you have to have a back bone other wise people will take advantage of you. May the force be with you

She texted me this morning saying she "couldn't afford me anymore". She also told me that "first time I have financial issues you show your true colors" to which I told her that her problems are not my problems. Then she told me she had been overpaying me anyway. Whatever. I probably won't take her to court for the one week, but her attitude about it really ticks me off.

This keeps getting crazier and crazier. DCM's dad just called and told me that DCM gave him some money to bring me she has to work late. I bet you dollars to doughnuts those kids get off the bus at my house today. If they do what do I do at this point? She termed care this AM.

Wow. This does get weirder. I would call, text and email dcm letting her know that since she termed care this morning you can not accept her kids this afternoon. If they do show up I would take them and call emergency contacts for pick up followed by child services if no one responds.

If I've got this right: She owes you late fees for not paying on time. She's given her notice but you think the children will arrive anyway. Correct?

Assuming I understand things correctly I'd:
1. Turn them in for abusing the system. I'm happy to have my tax money used to help people who need it, but not people who use and abuse the system. They ruin things for people who really need the help.
2. If she terminated care I'd forget the late fees, keep any deposit, and call it even. If the kids get off the bus, call someone to pick them up ASAP.

I did turn her in.

Dad came and paid the weeks care and partial late fees, I had agreed to partial if she paid off her contract by tomorrow. She had told me by text this morning they wouldn't be back though.

OH and it amazes me how fast people can go from "I don't have a penny" to having some money when they need care. Maybe I should just finish out this weeks care I dunno.

No! Take the money they gave you and wash your hands of it! She told you that you showed your true colors? What a B! Heck no, I would not watch those kids for another minute. If you turned her in, then I don't think t is a good idea to continue caring for them, expecially if the state pays those benefits. If they get in trouble, the state may try to recoup those losses and that could effect the money you already received, since you knew they were being fraudulent. At this point, I would tell her you are done offering services.

No she termed this morning.

I don't take state payments which is why she gave her first two week notice last Friday. She is leaving because she has signed up for them for summer. But told me in the process "he and I are not back together on paper and I am not telling them yet". So I am in the clear with that. I would have termed her anyway if I was taking state payments because I can't be a part of fraud. I am done LOL. I am just afraid she had second thoughts. But her text this AM did say "the kids wouldn't be coming to me anymore". Then she accused me of making her kids about money. Well yeah its daycare.

[Thriftylady]

Whew they didn't get off the bus, I feel a ton better!

YOUR family deserves the money. YOUR family is more important. You are doing what's right for YOUR family. That's why you set up your business the way you did- to make money for YOUR family.
Screw her, cheating B!!! How dare her say that to you! As if she would care about your money troubles. That's personal anyways.

That is what I told DH today. It wasn't me that got pulled over for speeding with expired tags, and an expired license. That was her husband. (and the story according to the kids was he was afraid he was going to get fired because when he got pulled over he had a bunch of illegals in there with fake IDs that were paying him gas money, he was afraid they would get into trouble and they would loose their workers). The family is as legal as can be, no issue there but the kids wouldn't make up a story like that. It just killed me because she said "so this is the first time I have had financial issues and you do this". But then she says "I can't believe you are turning my kids into money". LOL looking at it now after it is all done it is kind of cracks me up.

ROFL!!!!!!!

She just texted me and told me that the only difference in my job and her job is that if she gets fired she doesn't still get paid for two weeks and maybe that is why I don't have many kids.

Laughter really is the best medicine! ::::::::::

Oh my goodness, I think our problem families just might know each other! . But yup sometimes you just have to laugh and say bye crazy lady...I feel sorry for your children. Well, I mean don't really say that to her of course . You could but it may cause more drama then its worth .
