    Do you have anything in your contract for immediate term? Blatent disrespect is an immediate term in my day care.

    I had a formal term notice that was something like this:

    "Termination Of Child Care Notice

    Reason for Termination:

    Payment issues __
    Attendance issues __
    Failure to follow contracted policies___
    Behavioral Issues__
    Blatant Disrespect for provider ___
    other __

    The last day care will be provided will be ____________.

    Sincerely,

    Happy Provider. "

    With this you could tweek it to give a two week notice, or have it be immediate. You could also put in something about payment to fit your contract - either "your advanced payment will be used for the contracted notice period and no refunds will be given per the signed contract" or "included is a check for the amount of advanced payment as termination is immediate and no care will be provided." Or whatever.

    Good luck! You have done more than enough. :hug:

      Update.

      Gave notice yesterday. They dropped off this morning and mom spent 20 minutes in the bathroom with the kid trying to get him to go potty. Saying they could get his potty chair and trying to negotiate with him to go pee on my potty. Wanted me to hang out in there with them. But I had other drop offs, so I was coming and going from the bathroom. She started to tell the kid that if he promised to go pee in the potty he could wear his underwear today. I told her no, he needed to show me that he can tell me that he needed to go when I asked.

      This morning when I wouldn't let him be in underwear mom gave me two week notice. (Didn't I give you notice yesterday...?) She apologized and I told her that it was fine (whatever, she can pretend that it was her idea), that we were expecting it due to dad's comments about pulling if he wasn't trained here by time school started so we've already started advertising and I was glad there was no hard feels.

      Mom said "let me know how much for the two week notice" put dcb on the couch after helping him put the pull-up on. He started crying and I assured her I'd come sit with him after I was done assisting my son in the bathroom. ( all families are made aware that my son is delayed and has low fine and gross motor skills and needs a little extra help in the bathroom)

      Mom left only to come back a 10 minutes later, "I think I'm just going to take him with me. He's having a rough morning and your obviously so busy helping other children in the bathroom. I'd feel better if he just came with me."

      She was going to leave his stuff, but I told her, "here, did you want to take his stuff?"

      "Yes, and how much to I owe your for the two weeks?" I told her. she wrote me a check and left kids and all.

      I'm wondering if I should cash the check or not?

          What a fiasco! I would be cashing that check immediately!

          Hopefully they realized you were done with the drama. I wouldn't care where he and his crazy parents were going as long as it wasn't back to my house!

            Mom just learned what "group" care means.

            She also learned a great lesson in parental responsibility.

            YES! Cash the check before they decide to put a "stop pay" on it.

            Thank goodness you are done with this family. happyface
            What a headache.

            Odds are he'll get kicked out of the Montessori school if they only accept potty trained kids...because no matter how many rewards, bribes, treats or special things she promises him, he is not potty trained.

                Children are little angels, even when they are little devils.
                They are also our future.

                    What a hot mess family. They'll be unenrolled from his preschool within 1 week. He won't care to control his urine there either.

                    Cash that check. Don't respond to any further messages.
