Then my own kids were sick today. I opened, 2 of 3 families choose to stay home. Now one family hasn't attended in two weeks and will owe 3 weeks pay when they show up on Monday. The other family challenged whether or not she would need to pay for this day. I hate this part of the job.
I sent an email to teacher family, they brought another check for last week. No argument. Still stresses me out though.
Then my PT kid who is here T/Th shows up for the first time this morning. They choose to pay each month (which I'm fine with). They shorted me for New Years day. We just had this conversation about Christmas last month...if they want to argue it, their last day can be what they have paid me for. No respect.
