Parent thinks she is entitled to make and break day care rules

[Suzie_Homemaker]

some parents think they can do whatever they please for they pay us...
I do have a contract and also I try to talk,but some people are acting very confident and try to bend the rules as much as possible..I just don’t get how can some people be so inconsiderate.
But that all would be fine,I can manage that,the problem is that the parent did not find it important to consult with me first about her decision

You are right - some parents think that because they are paying for child care, they are the ones setting the rules with regards to their child's care. And you are also right that it's inconsiderate.

However, while some parents are inconsiderate, others just don't think it through and see the situation from the provider's side. Communication is key but what is even more important, is enforcing your policies in a timely manner.

Basically, your policies are your boundaries and if you don't enforce them promptly when breached, then a client has no reason to expect any of their contracted terms to be firm.
