I had a
ridiculous
one, years ago. A parent did not want to pay over the Christmas holidays because her older child did not have school so she was taking time off work. She figured she might as well short me last-minute and have plenty of fun money
I stuck to my contract and said she could certainly keep younger child home if she wished, but she needed to pay me. She politely questioned why and I politely explained that I had just bought gifts for all of the children (including
both
of hers), things for the children to make for their parents, specialty foods for our holiday celebration, and that I also had to pay regular bills and provide Christmas for my own family
She said: Well if you can't afford to pay your bills, maybe you should rent out some rooms in your house.
I don't even remember what I said, but I know what I thought
If
you
can't afford to pay
your
bills, why don't you rent out
your
children's rooms?
