Misdirected Email

Well perhaps she learned a lesson. And if I was her spouse and had lost a good provider I would be upset with her also. You had to make a decision and if you didn't think you could work with her anymore, you did the right thing. ****s loosing a client, but when you know someone doesn't respect you, it is hard to have any respect for them. I do see what some were saying about let it go, but I couldn't have done that either I don't think. Did she say if she sent it to you on purpose?

I'm sorry that you lost a client ($), but you had to do what you felt was right.

I imagine her dh is beyond ticked and the little one will miss daycare. Now she'll have to find new care on a minute's notice.

I think that is really why she was upset. I'm sure she doesn't want to go out and find a new provider, and I'm also sure her DH is annoyed with her. I asked her about the pacificer thing, and she said that when she brought him with a pacifier in his mouth one day I took it away. And she was annoyed with me because I wasn't helping her potty train. I reminded her that she signed the contract which spells out my pacifier policy and potty training policy. She just showed up one Monday with him wearing underwear after a weekend of "training" him with no pants. I told her that he needed to be accident-free for 2 weeks before I'd allow him to wear underwear in my house. At the time, she never said a word to me, and that's really frustrating because obviously she just let it fester.

Awesome response! I know this ****s now, but you have likely saved yourself so much grief in the future. She messed up so badly, and if she had gotten away with it, would have continued to badmouth you unchecked. You're absolutely right that there's no mending a relationship that has been so hurtfully damaged.

Thanks for letting us know what happened. I know I'm not the only one that was on pins and needles this afternoon. It was almost worse than waiting for the last Harry Potter book to be released.

This situation is not pleasant for anyone. She loses a great provider and you lose a client. It is sad that things had to end this way and I am sorry you got called nasty names by a woman you thought you could trust

:hug:

Oh no. Now her DH just sent me an email asking me if he could bring DCB by tomorrow night to say goodbye, and
asked me if we could have a chat. I have no idea what
to say, and I'm so tired of all of it right now. I'm not
going to reply to him tonight but if anybody has any ideas what to say to him, let me know.

I think I would either not reply or cut it off with "no". Sometimes the short but sweet is the best way to go to avoid further discussion, begging, etc. I know this is emotionally draining but I feel you will be happier now that they are gone.

I wonder if he has seen the offensive message. Part of me would be tempted to send it to him, stating that all that needs to be said has been said.

Oh boy...I agree with Annalee, I would also say no. There is no reason to drag this out.

I wouldn't do it. What could dcd say that would change any of this? Dcb does not need a goodbye. This is their issue to deal with now. I would be done with it.

[Thriftylady]

I think I would say "I am sorry I cannot do that based on the prior disrespect towards me". And leave it at that.

[NoMoreJuice!]

In the morning, I would message back:

"Although I will miss dcb very much and have loved watching him, I feel that the termination of our contract leaves nothing to chat about. Best of luck to you and your family."

That says it all.
Jeez, I almost feel sorry for the woman now ; she screwed up big time and it's all coming back to bite her in the wazoo.
It's a good reminder for all of us to be more careful, me included.

Well? What happened? The curiosity is killing me!

I want to know too
