    I believe that the client you are talking about (and the one who is posting is mine)

    And I am willing to post even though I may be on her %h&t list after this, but hey, she came here posting about me, so fair is fair if it is her. She and her son were my first clients yes, but when she first came to me she was a perm pt client..Then as time progressed she told me she was laid off from her job, and she and her sons dad were no longer living together (about 4 months) so I let her go down to a casual status for slightly more, and she signed the contract revision.

    Her son was full time through the summer, and I did her a favor and charged her my regular full time rate and not her daily rate of $40.00. Now all of a sudden she told me she got laid off in sept, and was trying to save up for a trip. I have broached the subject of a pt contract 2x now only for her to brush it off and say that her schedule is all over the place and she doesn't need or want to commit to regular days. (her and her boyfriend have since got back together)

    I gave her a print out of all the hours and days she was here...Including what she would have actually paid over the summer if she had been paying $40.00/day at 5 days a week, and all she said was oh yeah, well I said mine and g^a$ts schedule had changed so I said I wouldn't be coming f/t anymore. (Instead I charged her $550.00 a month what I give to regular full timers who sign a full time agreement)

    And to note: yes I did her laundry..I have given her my some of my sons gently used clothing, and I my husband went to pick her son up when her boyfriend had to take the car and she had to take the bus to work. And she knows this.

    I don't want to fill her spot I care for her son he has been with me for 1 year, but I must look out for myself and my family. I actually had to call the bank this month and get overdraft because I couldn't cover everything. I hate this, but this is the way it has to be.
