    Why on God's green earth would you take a child with the flu to the doctor's office? Just so you can infect everyone else in the entire office with the flu germ? That's ridiculous!

    Grounds for termination! How long have they been with you? This is how it is worded in my contract:

    Weekly fees are payable regardless of closed daycare holidays, missed or sick days. Fees are not due when the daycare is closed due to caregiver’s vacation or illness or emergency.

    I would quote my contract to anybody who questioned me and tell them they read it and signed it and must abide by it, no questions.

    GOOD LUCK!

    Totally agree with Momof4 too: that is one of my biggest pet peeves in the world.....people who are stupid enough to bring their kid to the Dr if they are vomiting. What? At least give it a couple days before making a call to the doc. If its so serious the child run the risk of dehidration after a week of vomiting or cant keep food down for like a week maybe, but seriously? That is exactly how that NASTY crap gets spread in the first place. IF YOU OR ANYONE IN YOUR HOUSE IS ILL... STAY HOME!!!!

    She has been wiht me for over 6 months now...she has the contract at home and I have a signed copy. No excuses! I agree she must pay up on Tuesday! (sigh) it's "simple" to just say pay me or go...but it's not easy, right?

    Now the question is re: in the termination letter I was thinking of giving her 2 weeks...I'm such a sissy! This is the first BIG thing between us and I don't want to 'screw her'. I could say this is the last week or the full two? I don't know if I'll feel comfortable doing an immediate (unless she responds and really pisses me off 'more'). GRRRRRRR I feel like crap, I hate this stuff.
