Pay by cheque?

[Fun&care]

I have a family who has been with me for 2 years too, who have been giving me a hard time lately. Like playing stupid sbout my sick child policy ( must be symptom free for 24 hours before they can return to care, yet they show up at my door and say she threw up the night before). Both times it turned out dcg was fine, but I felt disrespected nonetheless.

Now it's paying late. There's been a few times this winter where either I was closed or dcg was sick on payday. Did I get paid those days? Nope! Even though they live around the block.

DCG peed on my couch the other day. Did I get an apology? Nope!

AND lately they have been making passive aggressive comments sbout DCG napping. Walking in telling DCG "so don't nap today ok? Don't fall asleep! Play with your toys that are in your backpack!". Seriously? It irks me because I agreed to let DCG come up and watch TV after one hour of rest, but they are making it clear through indirect comments that is isn't good enough and I know they are hoping I will scratch the whole rest time altogether soon. Which isn't going to happen.

I can't quite put my finger on why they are behaving like this. I feel like maybe they have been here so long that they feel a little too comfortsblr? Or maybe since DCG is going to school this fall they are saying f*ck it lets ride our provider hard???? LOL I don't know!

Either way I am closing soon enough and don't feel like "getting into it" with them. But frig...

I once had a parent get mad at her 4yo in front of me because she had a nap on the couch. I felt so bad for her, but what can you do? Sometimes I think parents need to come to daycare to learn to get along with others.

Then... on days like today, when DCM comes at noon and pays me even though her child is absent today. You could knock me over with a feather. When DCG didn't show up in the morning, I just expected I would have to wait until Monday. So, go figure. And yes, I did thank her for coming.
