I am planning on giving notice today at pick up. Problem is, I can't decide which route I want to take...

Yesterday at pick up, Mom was so sweet to me, chatting away as if nothing happened, and then today, Dad did drop off, and same thing. Having said that, I still want to terminate. I didn't like the tantrums, and I don't want to put myself in the position of having to deal with that again should they decide that they don't like something else. Also, CONSTANT late payment. I can afford to be down one kid for a while, and he's part time, and I have a full timer starting in two weeks for another part time spot, so I wouldn't be down anything, wage wise.

So. I could send them the original notice that calls them out on their behaviour, but then there are bad feelings, and the possibility that they may badmouth me in our rather small town.

OR...I could tell them that I won't be giving them the special rate that I signed their son on with for their daughter who they want to start in 5 weeks. Therefore, they'll be paying $50 more for their daughter than they pay for their son. I don't think they will agree to this, as they cry poor all the time. It's a chicken's way out, but totally legit, as I haven't agreed to take on their daughter 100%, nor have we signed any contracts, etc.

Either way, two weeks notice goes out tonight.
