Thank you ladies for all your help! It turned into a bit of a battle, but she finally came over and we talked about it like two civil adults (wow! amazing that this cannot be done with all parents!) and as it turns out my DD has it bad and I am going to close for a few days anyway - the mom was more frustrated with the fact that I was unsure whether or not I was closing (since I hadn't talked to the health unit yet at that point) and the dad took the week off just in case - now they are stuck with him off and still able to take him in - I get it. And lesson learned, to not inform the parents until I have made my decision on closing.

She agreed that payment should still be due whether they want to take him in or not (which was the goal of the conversation from my point of view).

Thanks again!
