    Term today. They are not respecting you at all, and he sees you as someone he can walk all over. That would creep me out too ESPECIALLY since you have addressed it in the past and he doesn't care. You don't need that in your life, this job is hard enough as is! Keep us posted.

    What about talking to the mom? You could give them one months notice with the condition that mom does all pick ups and drop offs. If they choose not to do that they can decide to leave immediately and return their deposit.

    I wouldn't if you are so uncomfortable. You can say we spoke about this and he's not respecting your rule so this is why mom has to do all drop offs.

    If you really want to you could say that you are giving one month's notice and dad needs to do drop offs at the door as he was asked. If he doesn't respect this then termination will be immediate and they will forfeit their deposit. Spell it out clearly for them.

    Isn't your spouse worried about this guy? He sounds really creepy. Do you have a clause about reasons for immediate termination in your contract? The other ladies have given you great advice, but you have to do what's best for you. If you think in any way this Dad is behaving ok and you are in the wrong FORGET IT!!!

    My husband respects my decisions about my business, but this............he would tell me to let them go, especially since he wouldn't be able to be home because of work. No man wants a creep around his spouse.

    wow that is creepy. And for 5 days she never mentioned it to her husband, thats wierd. This is where you are going to have to use your voice and tell him that he can't do what he wants.

    since your door is locked, he will have to ring the bell. Then go and get his child, then open the door and hand him his child, this way he can't linger.

    Make absolutely sure that the child is ready and waiting at pick up so you answer the door with the child in front of you so they have no need to enter your home.
