Daycare Center and Family Home Forum>I Finally Termed! Woo Hoo!

Had a family for 3 years. Loved the kid (perfect kid), but the parents never paid on time, were always late, no call no shows, etc. They were one of my first families, before I had a backbone, so I let them get away with everything for so long, and never had the nerve to correct it since it lasted forever.

After 3 weeks of no payment, and a no call no show today, I text them that, effective immediately, I am ending care. It feels so good. I have since enforced all of my policies with everyone else, so I'm finally at a good point. Woo hoo!

Yay!

I have a family who is always late on payments or checks bounce, or whatever their excuse is, but I embarrassingly let them get away with it without any repercussions. I just opened a year and a half ago and they were one the first families to come here. Finally after this last deal with the bounced check, I'm getting a backbone and next time it happens, my backbone will be in place!

You sure do learn a lot from the time you first open!

I am such a non confrontational person and it was hard to term them. It takes a lot to take me to that point. They should have been let go years ago.

I bet you it feels like the weight of the world lifted off of your shoulders.

I hope that you are able to replace them with a good family that follows all of your rules!!!
