Personal appointment scheduling

[KingstonMom]

I do only accept payment advance, for all my other families. This family started with advance payment BUT I did them a FAVOUR back in the summer and offered them a part day rate because mom was a waitress and was only getting 4-5 hour shifts. So I agreed to let them have the odd 'half' day (again, something that I do NOT normally offer and is not in my contract.) This way, come pay day, they were paying what they had used. they used maybe 2 half days, and 3 full days per week on average until Sept when she got a m-f day job and the hours were then consistent. This is just the reasoning for the non-advance payment schedule they had. Yes, I should have switched it back over when I was no longer offering them half days. And YES I should never have done it in the first place. These people suck and the favors I did for them on a daily basis goes on and on. I could write a whole new thread of the 'freebies' we give to parents and the little or no thanks we receive.
I sent the dad a text last night saying the $280 better be in my mailbox no later than 530pm tmrw or I will be taking action to get the full $700 which I am legally entitled to.
He contacted me today saying he will have the money in my mailbox but only if there is an income receipt in there for him. I told him that he'd better knock and have me count the money before he gets any receipt.
thanks again for the support ladies
