UGH Someone Should Smack Me!

I've off all federal holidays.

I had one father show up one year with kids in tow. I knew he had to work, but knew the wife didn't. I asked where his wife was, uh, uh, home in bed. I told him to turn around and take the kids home. He said he couldn't, he'd be late for work. Too bad, not my problem. His wife called 15 mins later, majorly PO'D, ranting and raving. "I" made her husband late for work, "I" ruined her plans for the day. I gave her a 2 wk notice.

BAHAHAHAHA...I would have too! ::::::::

I had one mom asked me and I replied oh are you working and she said no I said we all will enjoy a three day weekend and when she left on Friday she said see you Monday I said no Tuesday and she said oh thats right you'll be relaxing by the pool and I said yes and loving every minute of it.

lmao..............ugghh Smarty pants......
well Its not going to happen again...I just decided that I am not going to open anymore on the holidays....BTDT right

I wanted to say it so bad, . You know dh said to me (because it has happened to me) that if they book you their still have to pay, (because I don't charge for holidays) but if you charge for holidays then you should add a 10 dollar clause ontop of it, so if they cancel on you, you won't be out any money but it would teach them a lesson too.

This happened to me at spring break-we need you for the whole week, stayed open really only needed me three days. Another parent needed me 2 or three days turned out to be 1 1/2 days and another needed me for one day turned out to be 2. This was after everyone had given me their schedules in writing-my own kids were so bummed because I only ended up with 1 day off.

sounds like we have the same kind of families.
