Every single year someone either gives notice to get out of paying for the extra holiday pay or try to find a way to argue their way out of paying. OR brings sick kids they know they're not suppose to bring and make me be the "bad guy" telling them no.
Way to make me feel grateful that I help raise your kids.
I want to cry that I actually want to tell off every single one of these families this week. The week before Christmas is the worst. Screw this. Their family presents are going back in stockpile and I'm eating their treats I made them.
Yep. It's why I don't do any type of Christmas anything with the kids anymore.
I have long time families ask
"Aren't you doing a gift exchange this year?" or a Christmas party?
"nope. I am closed for the next week and half. You can do all the baking and Christmas-y stuff you want with your child then."
Those that try to negotiate payment over the holidays are usually the only ones that get a rate increase upon the new year.
Those that give notice.....can keep their notice and go today. Like right now. Bye Felicia!!
