Daycare Center and Family Home Forum>Question About Payment When Parents Are Separated....

One more silly question from me....I have a family with parents who live apart (but are married and may someday divorce before I croak)...Anyway, dcd likes to come to dc about 15 mins. before I start each day and hang out. He says he needs to get to work but sits here and wastes a good 15 minutes talking about nothing. I told parents I would give them 4 mornings a month where I won't charge them if they want to start before I am scheduled to open.
This started 11/1/2010. The dcd wants me to put his late fee on the week when he pays the bill (every other week). I bill weekly and don't want to hold his charges for the week he pays...I will get so confused. Do I have to do that? This family is such a pain. Most of my gripes are about them but I cannot afford to let them go, they are my highest paying family. Need you guys to give me your feedback. I really appreciate all of you!!!! (they switch custody every 2 days).

Can you pre-charge his late fees and on his next week modify the charge if it's not totally accurate? That way you get your money in a timely manner and mom is not expected to pay dads' fees.

Any late fees etc are due immediately for me, not at the end of the week. Take sthe hassle out of everything else. If you drop-off early pay early, if you pick up late, pay at pick-up. No hassle, no drama.
