That's a great idea, to have something in the contract making sure I have notice. I have my reasons for not charging for their vacation and I'm ok with it. I just think the way she's doing it is sneaky... much like other things she's done. There should be a certain amount of trust between provider and parent and I don't trust her at all! Not enough to terminate with good reason... that's the most frustrating part for me I think.

I think I will build that into my contract.
