Announcing termination

[sunnydays]

Wow...so glad you are terminating this family. You don't deserve that kindof treatment and you will feel a million times lighter once they are gone. Good luck!

Ahah Mimi, you made me laugh so hard I almost choked! than you for that!

[mimi]

After all the stress these people have caused you I'm glad I could give you a chuckle

I would never just stick a letter in someone's bag and say read it when you get home.... I think that's lousy and poor business sense..... Tell her you would like to talk for a minute and then explain that after much reflection you have decide to end care and that the reason are the issues you have been having of late (whatever you have discussed with get in the past repeatedly) and then say you put a letter on writing in the bag for her records.

@Crayola I agree in some ways..If however I do not want to deal with that parent's outburst at the door, this is what I say.

Too true Crayola, but sometimes desperate times call for desperate measures. I had a client in my early days that broke almost every policy and laughed off any attempts I made to get her to comply. She was a beautiful woman and apparently no one ever told her no. So if you said no she would think you were kidding. I finally after many failed attempts to get her co operation I made up a term letter and as she was leaving on my porch I told her there was a letter in her childs back pack and I wished her well. The shocked look on her face was priceless. I never heard from her again.

ahah mimi..... ! I kinda want the happy middle between slipping the letter in the kiddos bag and sitting down and having a chat.... she is well aware that I am upset at her and sick and tired of her daughter's behaviour.....

But, again, maybe i'm too nice and should use the slipping the letter in the bag technique because I know she will fight it... and I really don't want that

Mlle.coccinelle, I'm terminating a family tomorrow at pickup time so they have the long weekend to absorb it, we have Family Day as a stat here in Ontario on Monday. I intend to tell the parents that it's strictly a business decision with little more explanation that that. It is my business and I have a right to make the decision. Same for you. But I have to give them 2 weeks and that is the part that is stressing me out, having them around for 2 more weeks hating me.
