Hello nap time

LOL! Amen sister!

One of my clients had been thinking about going back to work (was on mat leave for 2nd child), but couldn't make up her mind. I have been watching her older daughter for a while. Anyway, she shows up this morning with dcg and child number 2 and says yep, I've decided to go back to work next week so we need to transition xxxx into your care starting today. Uhhhhh... you couldn't have called me last night? Or e-mailed me? Or sent smoke signals? Anything??!!! I was unprepared, but said ok. She had brought payment with her and has been a great client till now. Siigh. I would have appreciated some smoke signals though.

Was thinking just today about a Mom I had posted about a few months back. This Mom had called me the day after her second child was born and told me she wanted to give her two weeks notice, the cost of care would be too much and she decided, given she was home for mat leave, she would keep her daughter for the rest of summer as well (we had an agreement, to have her duaghter still come for three day/week due to contract requiring continued pay during her leave) so she just figured she would terminate care for the summer and save a buck. I asked her what she planned to do with tthe kids in the fall and she told me her daughter would be going to preschool and she was trying to get the baby into "free" care at the tribal care center. Well I happen to know her daughter is going to a preschool that requires pay AND is only a 3 hour session per day, sooooo, I just figured she found someone else cheaper or free, but didnt want to tell me. either way I let her take her two weeks and leave, what ever her kid was a brat anyway.....well, heres the kicker, school goes back in one week and she JUST text me yesterday asking if "I wanted to meet one day this week to "hang out"?" There is a little part of me that's thinking. hmmmm she took her "termination" as a break in pay, and may now want to ask me to take the baby or both back a couple days a week? Hmmm, on principle alone...SUFFER! Go find some cheap freak that will give you the quality care you are looking for in the lack of money you want to spend somewhere else!!! I'm not full, but I'm also not desperate.
