Thoughts? Would you terminate?

I totally agree with the ladies. She plays by the rules or gets going.

We have such the tendency to ''feel bad'' for the parents.... g's I've been there too, well not a single mother, but a parent bringing my daughters to daycare. I never tried in the world to manipulate my providers... on the contrary, I wanted them to be as happy as possible with me as they have the life of my children in their hands while I'm at work. Why on this earth would I temped to get them mad.

Anyways, that said, I would sit down with her after the day, take the time to clear out the situation and lay down my ''laws''. If the mother doesn't agree, as my husband once told me to say to a parent, I will accept her month notice. If she gives me trouble because of that, then there is obviously no chance things will get better and I do not deserve that stress in my life, then give her the months notice. If I would get more trouble during that last month, I would ask her to pay at the beginning of the week considering there is no more trust. If it goes beyond disrespect, then terminate on the spot with no refund of the deposit.

Also, there is no way I change my schedule or fees for anyone. If they don't like, they find someone else to take care of their children. Its a tough world for me as well and I do have a life after daycare hours and I do have bills to pay.

If kids arrive later then usual in the morning, I never wait around. The day goes as plan : snack time as plan, going outside as plan etc. If they care about their child, they will give them the snack at home before coming (not allowed to bring food in the daycare), change their diaper before coming, get them dress to be outside if its the time for that etc...
