A wise person once said these words to me when I was complaining about how someone was treating me. She said "we teach people how to treat us" I realized instead of complaining it was my responsibility to correct the situation by telling the person how I am to be treated.
Exactly this ^^^!! I terminated a family in the summer over non payment and Im so glad I did! Their daughter was lovely and I was sad to see her go but I work too hard to worry at the end of the week if Im going to get paid or not!
