Feeling unappreciated

[kindertime]

This year, I took the extra fees out of my contract. I used to charge a late pick up fee but now, I simply state that late pick up is considered a breech of the contract. And I can terminate at my discretion. Already used this one too. I have a notice that I hand to the parent and I keep a copy so I can have a record of when it happens. It was on this forum that people have said that charging a fee - to some people- makes it sound like you are ok with them picking up late - so long as they pay for it. I also agree with what Lee-Bee says - parents can be like toddlers - always testing boundries.
