What should I do?

I do not stand for late pick ups! If they agreed to 5 then the old verbal agreement is no longer effective! When you changed it to 5 did you talk to them about it or just give them the new contract to sign? I say this because if you didn't say anything then they might just think that your verbal agreement still stands - that even though the agreement is your rules that you are making an exception for them. Hey you already broke your rule once so unless you actually said that it is 5 now no matter what agreement you made before was then I can understand their side.

We have to set our own rules and stick to them or this is what happens.

Tell mom the new time is 5 and if it doesn't work for them then you consider that their 2 weeks notice. Start advertising immediately and fill the spot.

True about sticking to our rules. I did go over the contract with them, word for word, and it did work for the last half of last year, its just since Christmas for some reason. Mom drops him off later, and i guess wanders into work late. So she figures she can work late to make up the time.

Well, I learned my lesson. She did drop him off this morning like nothing even happened, so I'll talk to her calmly tonight. She might have just been crying wolf. I really don't want to lose the boy.

Thanks for the advise
