She tried to deny that it happened and blah blah but I'm done.

She was going to give me notice as well because sleeping in an extra half an hour is more important to her than stability for her son. So now, she is going to try to find a daycare that will accept her constant schedules changes, late hours, not wanting to pay full fees, and basically wanting to call all the shots. Good luck to her. I would much rather wait to fill the spot with someone who will appreciate the services I offer.
In times like these it's best to just tell them the real truth. "You need a provider who does as they are told. I understand that is what you need in a child care relationship and I don't provide that service. There are hundreds of providers out there who will work when you tell them to work, allow you to arrive and depart with the schedule that works best for you, offer you really low cost care, and care for your child exactly as YOU want. You won't have ANY problem finding many options. You can make all the decisions and have it your way all day every day. I know you guys will do great and finding care will be one of the easiest things you have ever done."
