Seriously...are all parents unreliable

Hi MeMe, sorry to hear about the multiple departures! It does make you feel vulnerable, but like most say, because we have been through similar downturns, is it will get better. It is just waiting for the better which is tough.
I think it is not just this business but most others who deal with the public in general that can tell you stories of abuse and disrespect by the customers they have to deal with. Everyone wants rock bottom prices and supreme service and don't care that a business owner may be struggling to make ends meet. I have friends that got a good deal on a service. They laughed at how the deal is so good, the business owner probably isn't making a dime, ha ha ha. They are now in my acquaintance category. I find their attitude vulger.
So Meme, chin up. You stated this is your first year which is always difficult. As you get established you may find your business will come from some referrals as alot of ours does. Good luck
