Thank you for your encouraging words. Things did not work out with this family. Mom begged and pleaded for me to keep her kids on. I said I would as long as her ex did not come to my house because he was so rude and disrespectful to me. She agreed. The next morning mom did not send her kids. That evening she texted me stating she will not be sending her kids anymore and wanted her deposit back. My contract states that if care is terminated during the two week trail period the deposit is non refundable. I said I'd give the deposit back because I know this family is crazy and she already threatened to get a lawyer. I can't believe that in three short days this was a family from hell. She was very deceiving and my fault for not trusting my instinct in the beginning. I did have a bad feeling but ignored it. Won't do that again! I just want to be rid of this family so I will give the deposit back but I will not return the advanced payment for two weeks of care she was to have her kids here. I know I will get some backlash but I'm not budging on that. Hopefully I'll never hear from them again but I doubt it!
