I have a pregnant DCM that can not get it through her head that I bill for 90 hours every two weeks whether she brings her kid or not. It all came to a head today. DCM started yelling and cussing at me. She actually said, FU to me before she ran out the door. I ran out after her and told her not to bring her kid anymore because I'm not dealing with her crap anymore. She said, "Maybe I should call my DHS worker and ask her why you bill for 90 hours." Apparently she thought I would be scared and back down. I told her, "Yes, please call your worker so she can explain to you why daycares charge 90 hours per pay period. Maybe she can make you understand because after 5 explanations on 5 different occasions you still don't understand. If you are trying to threaten me it's not working. I have all my ducks in a row. I follow the rules and I don't have anything to worry about. I'll make your worker copies of my attendance records so please call her."
Of course this is a culmination of all the problems I have with her. On top of all that DCM is my husband's cousin which makes it even worse. I knew I would regret taking her on as a client, but she needed help so I was there. I have bent over backwards for her and she doesn't appreciate it. If she were a regular DCM I would have termed her the first time she didn't call to tell me she wasn't coming (which was two weeks after I started caring for her kids). We had the agreement that she could pay me her share of the bill with her tax money. I already have contact info for a collection agency if she is going to try to back out and try not to pay me.
It's such a mess with her, but she just proved that I can't try to help people that way anymore. If they don't prepay I won't care for their kids.
Why is it so hard for DCPs to understand the way we bill? It's not that difficult of a concept. My 10 yr old daughter understands it so why can't adults?
