WHY cant parents pay on time

[sweetness852010]

Do you have a late fee ? Maybe send them an email stating that fees are/were due on xxxxx and that after such date there will be a late fee of $xx per day and care will be suspended until fees are paid .

I do have a late fee of 10/day if they are late. But sometimes they dont pay it. I dont want to terminate because i would lose a big chunk of income. Shes the one that pays the most.

.... I dont want to terminate because i would lose a big chunk of income....

And this is coming from a place of love but THIS is why you have payment problems ... intended or not you ALLOW them to treat you this way but not enforcing your policies and opening the door of 'desperation' to keep them regardless of how poorly they treat you and well some poeple in the world will just exploit that to their own benefit ... just like some of do not speed because it is the SAFE thing to do and others do not speed cause they are AFRAID of the fine and yet others speed cause they do not give a shit either way and speed until they get 'caught' and than they pay the fine and keep on speeding until next time they get caught ... can you imagine how many people on this world would speed if the government allowed you to NOT pay the fine?

The sad reality is that many human beings are only motivated to behave if there is a strong enough consequence TOO behave otherwise they just do whatever the heck they want without much or any thought to how it might affect others ... they lack empathy and shared values with the rest of the world!

Umm why don't they pay it? When they pay you the money you say "oh there is a late fee on top of that of $xxxx ".
Reggio is right ... they don't pay because you don't enforce your rules because you are afraid to lose them. So instead they disrespect you and you resent them... I'd rather lose them and respect myself ! Advertise and fill the space
