Ever been screwed over by a family? Could use some support :(

[Daycare123]

So, I started a new family a few months ago, with a one year old little girl. The family has always been very friendly. Whenever I would discuss fee increases if Bill 10 went through the mother always acted like Bill 10 wasn't important etc. And would always say "you'll find people" which confused me because I wasn't looking!

Oh did I mention I am 7 months pregnant! I told parents early on and gave detailed the plan for them (closure for 2 weeks etc.)

So, Wednesday they give their notice! The first reason because they don't have back up for the closure! Why didn't they mention that months ago?!!!!! When I say I can probably cover that, it changes to well, its closer to us.. TRANSLATION: "we were on a waiting list for a centre when we signed on with you".

I had 4 or 5 inquiries back in september which I would have interviewed had I known!!!

The mom wrote this lovely note about how happy their daughter is here and how they would happily be a reference.


I know they have no access to back up care, but why not tell me BEFORE christmas!

I am pretty upset. Has this happened to anyone before?

I could use some encouraging words. Being pregnant is making this whole thing feel so overwhelming..
