Just wanted to share a comment I had from a parent lastnight...

Their kids have been coming to me for a year, always ALWAYS paid in cash, on time, sometimes early like on Thursday morning.... I never had to ask them!

Recently this changed, they are always forgetting, saying she'll send hubby w/ the money later Friday evening etc etc, and it never happens. 2 weeks ago, her kids came Mon and Tues and they were off on vacation the rest of the week, again when the promise to come back Tues night to pay me was broken, I finally had to email and ask her for the $$ on the following weekend as now I was on vaca and wanted the $$ for back to school shopping

ANYWAYS, lastnight, same thing, she'll send hubby backto pay me later that evening, he has recently switched jobs, at his old job he got paid by cheque so they had to go to the bank to deposit it, now he gets paid by direct deposit, so they dont have to go to the bank anymore......

leaving me to think that it was important for them to have their pay check deposited in a timely manner, but now that its done for them, its less important to pay me in a timely manner......

of course, hubby did not show lastnight to pay me....
