But I'm starting to get annoyed with this family a little. just a few things over the past few weeks.
This is the family of the flopper I talked about last week. They also tend to take their time paying me more times than not. I had to send them an email last weekend that they needed to pay me that day.
a couple weeks ago they requested to come fridays as well, I said sure. Last week she came friday as planned. but dad seemed a little unhappy and had missed her that day. so I suggested that maybe he bring her half days or every other friday and to think about it. Today I said as they were walking out the door 'so will I see you tomorrow?' dad said no that their grandmother was coming and they probably wouldn't be coming fridays anymore. I was surprised and said ' wow good thing I asked' with a slightly sarcastic giggle. he said that he would have told me before he left. but . . . . he was just about out the door when I asked so clearly that wasn't the case. I told him I wouldn't charge him for tomorrow then and he thanked a little sarcastically (technically I should have charged them a vacation day)
I feel like I'm over reacting a bit because I'm getting frustrated with their child's behaviour that I know is a result of the way she is coddled at home and the little things are starting to add up. But, I'm not her parent and I don't feel comfortable handing out parenting advice unless asked.
This is why I'm working my ass off right now to finish my new contract. I'm tired of parents being uninformative of schedules and lackadaisical with payments.
end vent.
