Grandparents Making the Rules...LOL
So tired of seeing grandparents "raising" the grandkids these days. They pay for daycare more than the parents do! Anyway, I have a parent who is a teacher. She & Grandma told me upon signing up a few months ago that dcb would not be here for the summer. They're hoping I can take dcb in September, which is not promised as I am licensed for 6 and if someone wants the spot, so be it. (He's only 2x per week.) Two weeks ago, same story. He ends care next week. Yesterday at PU, Grandma asked if Mom had called me. Me: "No." Grandma: "Well I finally convinced her to keep him here for the summer so he doesn't lose his spot. So he will be staying." Me: "I'm sorry but I've already filled it. Mom gave me his last attendence date 2 weeks ago." Grandma: Ugh! So he lost it for Sept. too?" Me: "No, I'm not saying that but I also cannot guarantee it as we discussed prior. I do have two going to Kindergarten so it depends on schedule changes." Grandma: (Walks out ticked off.) OMG. LOL:rolleyes:

I wouldn't re-enroll them even if the space was available.
When someone "takes a chance" that the spot will be there when THEY need it, then they've showed you exactly how little they respect you and your business. You were not important enough to them to secure the spot, so I'd take them at their word and find a family who will. |
