So some of you may remember me talking about my "self absorbed family." This family has been the one to tell me "no" when I've told them about taking time off, asked me to switch my vacation days, tries to change their schedule at 10:00 at night when they've been told they cannot do that this late and so on. Most recently, dcm requested to change her pick up time to 5 instead of 5:30 to get a lower rate. I had no problem with this. Two days into the new rate, she shows up at 5:15. Got very mad about late fees, and told me "5:00 just wasn't realistic" despite HER choosing the time. She wants the later pick up, but for the lower rate 
No.
So after that whole fiasco being the last straw, I posted the ad to fill their spot. Ad was up for two days, had an interview on Sunday that will be a MUCH better fit and they are starting in September (I advertised for a September start date, I'm on vacation next week and wanted a bit of time in between). Now, help with terming please! I know the term is probably not going to go well. She's going to ask a ton of "but why??" And I'll probably have to get into it a bit more then just a "this is no longer a good fit." Suggestions for the letter? And when to give it? They're out until Wednesday, I could do it on Friday before vacation or the Friday when I get back (to avoid issues at pick up, definitely Friday, when she's had a chance to calm down). Just not sure what's best. Contract wise, I only have to give two weeks. Money wise, it really isn't a huge deal if they get mad and don't come back at all.
Just trying to make this as simple and drama free as possible. And with this family, it's going to be a challenge.
