Thanks Annalee, sorry to hear it didn't work out for you. Some people don't appreciate the importance of finding dependable and good child care. They truly feel dc is easy to find and any old dc will do.
I think(hope) dcm will come through with the payment because she's been pretty emphatic all this time about not 'blowing the spot' for her ds. Dcm has taken to picking up dcb so dcd doesn't pick up late on his days to p/u. So I trust that she will pay, then work out the rest of it with dcd.
