Thanks Crayola !! I really do need the income right now but at the same time I really want to be appreciated. The work we do and effort we put in is very demanding. I want to be flexible when I can but I do not want to be taken advantage of. When I have bent the rules for them, I did tell the mother that it was only because at the time, I did not have other children that would be affected by it and could manage it. I realise I'm responsible for that and agree.
But the parents have signed a very detailed policy document. In the long run, this is not the type of family I want to work with. But still, I find myself not beeing able to make the decision. I like the little dude, I can't afford to loose the income, my kids like him but I value myself and the service I give way above what I'm getting in return . Since we are closed next week for renos, I'm thinking to give them an extension but the form must be submitted first thing once daycare is open. I will also clearly advise mom that there will be no more flexibilities, one more strike and you are out. Should I put this in a letter you think ?
