When you send out notices that you are closed, have the parents sign off and date the info.

When they freak out (like DCM above) show her the signed form.

Gets them every time.

I totally understand that families are busy and schedules can often be hectic but from my point of view, what makes anyone else's hectic schedule any more important than the next persons..kwim? Hence, my attempt to find humor in those type of situations.
It is crazy at times but its not always my crazy.
