Thoughts? Would you terminate?

unfortunately with some people if you cut them a break they expect more, and you gave her more, then she wanted more and you gave her more....now out of the blue (understandably to me, but not to someone like her) you decide you will give no more, and she is like...'What?!' You are making the right choice, sounds to me like she has got the "poor me's" and needs to get over herself, you will burn out fast if you are always willing to do do do for everyone else at your own expense. She just need to suck it up and take what you offer or go somewhere else where they can give her what she asks for. You may want to remind her that IF she chooses to go somewhere else she will have to choose quality care or cheap care, because no high quality provider with a family or a sane mind will be willing to extend hours and over exert herself for others, not to mention lower the rate for someone who is always changing their shifts. you have gone above and beyond with this woman, I would charge her more due to the unreliability of the childs attendance. that puts a strain on you and all the kids in your care. not to mention her own child.
