How would you all handle this? I feel kinda weird asking for the money since I didn't actually work for it.

My policy is on the MAJOR holidays (which there are 6) if your child would normally be here on that day then I get holiday pay. So for example this family never comes on Thursdays, so they don't have to pay for Thanksgiving, but they do come on Mondays so they get charged for Labor Day. I charge NO OTHER days that I don't work, like sick days or vacation.

So I gave dcm the bill which included Labor Day,. She slips a check on my desk minus Labor Day. Looking back she did the same thing on July 4th but I let it slide since I was on vacation that week. She signed my contract!

Her son goes to preschool so I charge her the full day for him, since he is here from noon to 5:30. Maybe she feels she is paying me too much already. I am a pushover, I HATE confrontation. I know I need to work on this. My inclination would be to just write on their next bill that I am owed for Labor Day.
