Late pick ups - The nerve of some people!

[apples and bananas]

If you recall I posted a thread a while ago about a late pick up of after 6:30 that I missed an appointment because of. She asked me if I could take the kids late, I said no, and they picked up at the extended requested time anways.

I kept them and wrote them a late warning, reviewed my closing times ect.

Tonight I get a text at 5:30 exactly (my closing time) that says they'll be 15 more minutes. When she got here I had the boys dressed, ready and opened the front door to let them out. She began by telling me she's really sorry and then she started saying that she doesn't want to feel like she's going to get terminated every time she's a few minutes late.

So I ended up having this long drawn out, frustrated discussion with her in the driveway. I'm so annoyed at all of this. How hard is it to pick up your kids on time!

UGH! I know you're all going to tell me to terminate. I'm having trouble having that confrontation with her. Someone talk me into it please!
