Parents Not Communicating

[crayolamom]

Why we are talking about a contract is beyond me bc I specially asked a question regarding parents who take two weeks to respond. She needed care for Oct. and I said THAT was fine. Now she wanted care mid September (this was never agreed back in March so if you want to fume over something you never gave someone a date for ahead of time that would be your problem) I started messaging this women back in July to get a clearer start date and she got just got back to me now. ALSO her officially start date is mid Oct and she wanted to start transitioning mind Sept

I asked her and another family when they would start (one is coming back from vacation and has been away all summer) the first family got back to me right away and this women got back to me a week later and by the time her royal highness got back to be that date was taken.

So yes, technically I can with hold care until October bc I was never under any kind of impression that she would need care as early as Sept so if I get back to her with a date that is taken bc 1 she took to longto respond and 2 we never agreed on that. Luckily I only take 3 kids now and have the flexibility of doing that bc I have extra spaces.

If you need care a month prior to agreed start date then yes I believe she should be checking in bc I need to know who is even going to here for Sept.

Why would it seem obstructive to offer care the next day if someone who was suppose to be here for that month to begin with got back to me a week ahead of time! I do not transition more than one kid on the same day. Never have never will.

How is it poor planning if a parent doesn't know their exact start date. Am I Sylvia Brown from the Montel Williams show that I can predict people start dates for childcare also how is it complicated by asking...what day did you want to start....

this lack of communication isn't due to me saying no this has been happening for a while. If she doesn't get back to be by Tuesday I will call her Wednesday
