Oh THAT! Ugh. Yes, I have had parents try to haggle me on time off. One dcf signed up full time and then wanted ONE WEEK A MONTH off for free afterwards.
They just didn't get why that wasn't going to fly with me so it ended rather badly.
I learned a trick here (again, one of the wiser members who I owe my undying gratitude to suggested it). I have a little space next to each section of my handbook where I make them initial after reading it WITH me. It has helped cut down, well actually completely cut down, on clients acting as if my policies just appeared out of thin air!
