Thanks ladies. mom fully understood that her spot was FT and that payments for the month are due the first for that month. She is only using 15 days in December because of her holidays. We went over, more than once that the spot is FT and she is required to pay the month fees regardless of the days that are actually being used. I spoke with her Friday. She came to my home crying because she just assumed that I would throw in the extra day because she isn't using the Full amount of days in December. I explained that it is the same for my other dayhome boy and I am not throwing free days in. She doesn't think that's fair. I told her it's not fair to assume that I would work for free. She also then explained that the dayhome she is currently using is keeping her deposit, making her pay for an extra 2 weeks (not sure of everything that's going on there) and that her husband is living a province away right now and cannot get a transfer and they need to sell their home. Yikes! I agreed that I wouldn't be adding any extra kids to my line up for awhile, however, I do need to think of the what if's on my end. Her stating in our messaging that she is better off staying home, that she cannot afford my fees and now that she is trying to sell her house. I am afraid that she may just jump ship without notice.

If this is all happening before day one, I am nervous to see what comes when she is actually in my care.
