So I have this parent who is actually really nice most of the time. The last 3 months in a row she has "forgot" to pay me. I reminded her 2 hours before deadline all three time so I wouldn't have to charge her late fee and she always Said I'm so sorry and sent it right away. They also has issues withat vein 10 minutes late a couple times a month which really gets on my nerves especially when they don't warn me.
Well I'm under A LOT of stress right now. Taking care of the house, my son, wedding planning and dieting. Plus it's like the kids sense my stress because they are ALL acting put especially my own.
Yesterday was my tipping point and I honestly just cried for like 2 hours after this mom walked into my house. ( I usually always have door locked) 15 minutes late. The level of disrespect just really broke me especially withe how hard I have been working especially withher daughter who I am single handedly potty training.
I decided this afrrnoon I needed to say something so I sent her this
Hey Courtney, I wasn't going to say anything about you being late yestersay which isn't a big deal once in a while just wish you had told me. I'm very uncomfortable with the way you just walking into the house. You are always welcome to come in during day home hours but it is still my home and walking in without knocking is not acceptable. I just want to make sure you know my feelings about that for the future.
What do you guys think? Am I over reacting or was the message justified?
