So this morning I wake up to find out one of my clients checks have bounced. Their child has been out on vacation for the last two weeks with the dad. Mom came Friday to pay me and usually gives me cash, but I got a check instead that was also $100 short, which was kind of my fault. I know the DCP is having money issues and her child will be leaving Ina few weeks for kinder. I give her a single mom discount every month.

So I'm leaving in a few hours to go on vacation. I really don't want to have to deal with this right now, but know that I need to.

In normal circumstances I would throw the book at someone who bounced a chck, but I just feel for this mom as I have walked in her shoes.

Am I being too nice? Should I throw the book at her and treat her like the rest?
The child is expected to return Tuesday morning.
