I too would lead toward interviewing and terming. I understand parents get upset, we are all human. BUT I would be uncomfortable working with someone who I knew called me a BOW. Especially given her past issues.

Don't seethe. :
::: This is a win. She knows you mean business. She is now over in adult time out whining about it to her friends.... 
Change your mindset.
It truly is a win. She is able to state the policy in a complete sentence to her friends.

I would meet her at the door wearing roller skates and a big smile

I totally agree! She is just pouting and mad because she didn't get her way. Good for you for sticking to your policy and giving her the consequences of not following your rules! Sometimes we spend more time teaching the parents than the kids and you are doing great with this one! When she comes, just get LO ready and say to him, "You have a great night! BOW will see you in the morning!" Big smile! ::

I agree! She knows your policies. We all vent sometimes. Sometimes I vent bout DH to friends about things that don't actually bug me that much, but its a way of releasing tension I feel about a variety of life issues. Not sure if that makes sense...
If she bugs you for other reasons, look to replace.
I wouldn't bring it up. I would smile big and let her feel awful about it. Let her worry.Comment

WTH
Personally, I'd term immediately. I wouldn't be able to let it go. If dcm didn't read the policies to know this can happen, it's her own fault. Then to say that about you, she's probably mad at herself. And I'm wondering if it was actually a mistake or her passive-aggressive way of telling you how she felt. In order for a provider-parent relationship to work, it needs respect, among other things. And clearly that B.O.W. doesn't have any towards you.Comment

I'm waiting for an update. Wondering if she wore skates and really thinking its a bad azz nickname. She knows you mean business and are worth every penny
stay strong Tasha. You can worry about her negative feelings another time. Right now, BOW is enforcing her rules and teaching her how to be a decent human being. Because being rude is too common.Comment

She came in and it was business as usual. I said nothing about the email, and it was obvious to me that she didn't know that she sent it to me. I understand what you're saying about not letting it get under my skin, but I really am nice to her! And to read that she calls me the ''b'' word, and that she thinks I'm smug just sends me reeling! And honestly, it hurts my feelings, too. I knew she was a little miffed about the late fee, but not to this extent. I would never know her feelings had she not sent me that email. Now I don't know what I'm going to do. I'm not sure if I'm blowing this out of proportion, but I really don't want to see her face ever again.Comment

While I see what the others are saying about the fact she is throwing a tantrum and you win. Well yeah I kinda see that. But if it was me I would be like you and not want to see her again. I guess I always feel like if someone feels that way about me, I want nothing to do with them. Sadly thought it is business, and if we refused to do business with people we just didn't like or they didn't like us, well I guess I would be in trouble, because I don't really like that many people.

Can you replace her? Can you make it without her if you can't?
If so then just respond to her email.
I'm sorry you feel that way. You may pick up juniors things between (example:
5&6pm Friday afternoon.
Then pack his things up. Put them on your porch and move on.Comment
As usual, I sit here clueless.
