Yes, there are two. 3 years old (screamer) & 5 years old (she was here until she got on the bus). I’ve been caring for them for almost 2 years.
I don’t feel like I was rude at all. I actually feel great about the way I handled it. Although, whenever this happens I can’t help but just feel like crap. Especially with this family who I have gone waaayyy above and beyond for. Getting the screaming under control (until again recently), kids are here from open-close every day, just today mom asked me to make older child’s lunch because she “didn’t have anything to give her”, and just this past weekend I took them to the park (on my day off) to play with an old daycare friend. I know I shouldn’t but I can’t help but just feel really screwed over all because they don’t like the word “NO”.
Dad has said to leave their things in the driveway and he will get them. I responded with, I have no problem putting your things in the driveway if you don’t want to make the exchange at the door after I receive payment for the services I have given. I know...baaaddd idea to not get two weeks upfront (face palm)! If they throw I fit about it I will probably just call it a loss rather than dwell on this family any longer.
