Thanks Ladies. They pay me every 2 weeks (1 week used/1week in advance) but when she wrote the cheque for this last 2 weeks she deducted from it. I will be in a different financial position come summer so I may replace them. I feel like I have been bending backwards for the last year. I feel like they are treating me like they are my boss. I am my own boss. I can't say anything to them until the summer starts because they may pull the kids. The dynamics are bugging me. I have done this long enough to know when there has to be a change...its the timing right now as its been a tight winter.
