need to vent...one last time...super long
I need to vent. You guys are awesome and quite frankly I think my hubs is getting sick of it, LOL
So...Monday, I posted about how DCP shorted me $100 for the week because I never count it out when paid. Said they knew it was there, and almost implied it was on my end where the money came up short. They paid the extra $100 with a sob story about rent being late/not enough..blah blah. Coincidentally though, never heard another word about that "mysteriously dissappeared money" whateever.
Wednesday, DCP left me with 2 diapers for the whole day. Acted like it was a huge pain and "I guess DCD will have to leave work" not my kid, not my responsiblity people. Came by with a stack of diapers, the end.
Now, Thursday night at 10 PM, she sends me a text that says (copied and paste)
Hey, so im paying you on the 7th correct, 300 and the 21st 300? So not on monday 3rd but on the friday the 7th ?
Meaning, I'd go a whole week before getting paid. I am supposedto get paid $150 every Friday for the following week. So it would be $300 - $150 for the past week and the $150 for the following. I stopped replying to her after hours but decided to so she KNOWS she has to pay today (Fri). So to which I respond;
I'm not exactly sure what you mean. I have to be paid tomorrow reguardless, always up front. If you can't pay the $300 this week/monday thats OK, because the $300 is optional. But I have to be paid atleast $150 every Friday. Are we on the same page?
THIS IS HOW SHE RESPONDED. LIVID.
"Im gonna have to call someone this is way to much ... DCD gets paid 350 friday. 245 HAS to go to rent and 100 has to go to car payment. Jesus christ this is stressful. Ill call my grnadma. And pay you 150 monday"
.......
Last time, I respond with this. I feel pretty good about what I said and how I worded it, too!
Alright. I hope you understand why I cannot go a whole week before getting paid for it. I have to run this like a business so I am able to pay my own bills in order to run the daycare. I have been more than fair on your family money wise. I have waived over $100 in late fees. I know what it's like to live paycheck to paycheck, it ****s! But you agreed to this rate when you signed on with me.
So, she never replied. This morning I woke up to this text:
I do like I said ill figure it out. I may have to apply for daycare assistance and i dont think you take that, so within the next 2-3 weeks DCB may have to switch daycares to one the is alittle cheaper and may accept assistance because 600 a month is more then rent and its getting to be way to much. Dont take it personal i havent made a decision i am just looking at options that is affordable for us :/ i love your place this is why i dont want to change where he goes but we are obviously struggling to pay 600 a month for daycare itself, ill keep you posted, i have no good leads yet. Just an idea.
I wanted to squeel with relief. The sad thing is, she is going to have a rude awakening. She is so complicated with me, I cant even imagine how a facility will handle her. Vise versa, also, because she expects a lot. All I can say is, good riddance! I require 2 weeks notice, but for this one...it isn't even worth it!!!! I am going to miss DCB though

lightly and in 9 out of 10 cases, it usually means...if you don't do what I want you to do (let her pay late) she is going to report you for not being nice to her kid.
