    Personally I think you've seen the last of them and their money as well ..... I will be totally blown away if I read tomorrow that they've shown up unless its just to get two more free days of daycare because I don't believe they will pay you. I would have been nicey nice to them just to get my money and on Friday when I was paid I would have handed them a immediate term letter!

    I'm not sure if you'll hear from them again or not. It's a tough call as, honestly, dad doesn't sound like the brightest bulb in the light fixture. Really, I know it's Christmas and everything, but I'd be inclined to forget the money and terminate immediately. No notice. Their behaviour was nothing short of douchey. You just move on and take care of your little baby.

    Congratulations by the way

    Well, They're Gone!

    Both Mom and Dad came for pick up and mom said "well this will be her last day". Perfect! I could care less about 2 weeks notice at this point so I just said "do you have my pay with you" them: "well we don't technically owe you until Friday". Whatever fine, so I told them they owe for up to todays fees and they can come back on Friday with it. Now whether they do or not will be another story.
    I said im sorry it has to come to this and that I feel bad for their girl, we will miss her etc.
    Things got very heated and they said my contract says if I am sick I will give as much notice as possible but if I have an appointment or if I am closing for any other reason then I will provide 7 days notice. (my husbands shift changed, which is why this was somewhat last minute (2 days notice). So then he gets all argumentative, in front of my son, daughter, and 2 other daycare kids. My husband was at the door with me. He says to my husband "she can never be wrong, can she? Wow I see who runs the ship in your house, man, I feel bad for you" Well Well Well. That did not sit well with hubs. I ushered all the kids to the livingroom and turned Dora on loud volume. lol they should not see or hear what was happening.
    They argued for a bit at the door before I just told him to put the pay in the mailbox and good bye, shutting the door on his face. It was very tense!!
    Sooo we'll see what happens on Friday. I am not even bitching about them giving me 2 weeks notice, and I am not even requiring them to pay for Thurs or Fri. I just need them gone asap too.

    hahah this is EXACTLY what my husband told me to do. I think they were looking for an apology from me though. I think they wanted me to apologize for giving them short notice and to bow down and take their s**t. And when I didn't immediately say sorry when they came, they blurted out that it will be her last day. I am too pregnant and emotional to put on a fake smile for a$$holes lol.
