Need some input!!!!

That would drive me insane. I have a family who is within a 1/2 hour in the morning & afternoon and I never know exactly when they will be here and that bugs me! I'm a planner and I like schedules and routines.

First thing you need to do by the sound of it is separate business from friendship. They don't respect your business plan. PlayandLean said it: RESPECT. In circumstances like this when something is starting to bug me I write a letter and put it all 5 backpacks to all clients but the ones causing the problem always know who they are.

Start your letter with something like: Recently I have realized that I must remind all of you of certain rules and regulations that are in my contract...........

thanks momof4, I know with these people something needs to be done and soon. They are just a case in their own, seriously....I have had to change alot in my contracts because ofthem, you know, i happen to know they have hard times with money, so maybe I will have to hit them where it hurts ad charge late fees and such to wake then up, I just feel like I have let it go for so long, it will be out of the blue to lay the law down now. I have already addressed it so, tonight I will give them (and all the others) a copy of contracts to resign and added items to agree to. yuck! this is the part of this job that I hate the most, dealing with ignorant parents, not the kids.....its the parents always!!!
