EXTREMELY ANNOYED. Time to Term?

[Ariana]

I did it!! I feel so much better now!

She called me on the way to pick up asking why she has to pay for Monday. (She was a no call no show). I told her bc she is taking up 3 spots while I'm sitting here wondering where she is. Then gave me the sob story that it's been a rough week and I need to be more understanding. Then got an attitude with me bc I made policy changes and put it in the diaper bag instead of talking to her face to face. She didn't appreciate finding it later that night. (I would have told her face to face but she was an hr late that day. Didn't have time).

There was way more to this convo. Just a lot of back and forth.

She finally showed up on time with the full amount for the week. She said she wants to call me over the weekend so we can get on the same page. I told her that it wouldn't be necessary bc I'm terminating care and today was their last day. She said "Well that's just great. The kids love it here." And she walked out the door.

And then I did a happy dance!! Lol

Way to go DCM. Your kids were happy but you just couldn't get your act together long enough to make it work. She will find out how hard it is to find reputable daycare trust me!!

Woohoo! I am so happy for you! Way to go!!

Lol! More like dictate, guilt trip, whatever it takes, to get you to do it her way.

Love that feeling of relief.....So happy for you happyface

Good for you! What a relief, huh?

I termed a family in the summer for no call/no shows and repeated late pickups. I actually gave them notice a few weeks before that, and dcm literally begged me to let them stay, because dcg was so happy here, and she felt it was a great environment for her. They only lasted 3 weeks, because of.......no call/no shows and late pickups! Dcm has asked me 3 times since then to take them back--she promises it won't happen again! Nope.

All that really just to say your dcm might ask to stay--be strong!

If her kids loved it at your house then DCM should probably have made sure to be respectful and appreciative of you instead of doing nothing but give you a hard time about everything.

Too bad the kids don't know it's mom's fault they aren't coming anymore.




Good for you too for terminating care over this. happyface

In this business, RESPECT is so necessary and without it, it creates stale air and makes the entire relationship between a provider and the parents uncomfortable.

[daycarediva]

Good for you! I agree, I give licensing a heads up whenever a disgruntled client leaves.

Good for you! Happy you got rid of them.

I have been doing home daycare for 2 years now and am starting to think that most parents ****! I can deal with the children, it's the parents' constant BS that drives me mad.

I have been thinking real hard about other job options lately.

I agree....... "this job would be great if it wasn't for the parents"

Way to go I would have definitely termed as well but then I am quick to do so. I'd rather be late on the bills than let these parents get away with violating MY policies!
