Oh no, don't let people do that to you Momof2cuties! Every time I've had part-time clients I ask for the next month's schedule by the end of the previous month. My rule is that once my calendar is marked for the dates they plan on attending the next month they are paying for all of those days no matter what happens, sick or missed for whatever reasons. I have to budget and they can budget too!

I have only had 2 part-time clients but they were both here for many years and I had no problems at all because they respect and value their space and know that if they abuse my trust they would lose their space. You deserve to have clients who will respect you too.

I'm sorry, but it's time to get tough.
