I don't, I keep ME happy. I don't bend for anyone but myself. Like Reggio said, the reason we all seem so thick skinned and hard is because it's parents like this who have made us this way. Every policy I have in my policy/package I give to parents is there BECAUSE of parents. Every time a parent tries to take advantage or tries to screw me, my contract and policies get longer and longer. I have great families in care because I have made it that way. I don't get walked on because I show them I'm confident in my business and practice what I preach.
I wouldn't be giving these people so much notice either...do you think they'd give you the same respect if the tables were turned...I highly doubt it. You have to look out for #1 and do what makes YOU happy not what makes the parents happy.
