Feeling sick and frustrated !!!

[Secondtimearound]

Due to her not responding and missing the payment arrangement , I texted her and said that due to that our contract was void and I considered her done with my dayhome . Although I was very polite and tried not to be too personal about it . She thanked me for caring for her dcks so well but sent her sister over to pick up the personal items .
This is my second time since opening , the have a parent decide they didn't want to follow the contract ! I'm not sure if this is normal ?? Both said they were very happy with my service , but I'm feeling insecure abit because if I was happy with my dcp and my kids were too ! Would I lose that service for $100 ??
The first dcf decided in dec they didn't want to pay for Christmas Eve , Christmas and Boxing Day , and now because I took off Easter Monday and was sick for Tuesday and Wednesday this other dcf pulls a hissy !!
Each dcm was very young but I'm having a hard time putting this behind me !!
I really feel like I put so much time and effort into my program , lunches and everything else I do for my dcks !!
My other families I charge at least $150 more for the same spot , they just wished me better !!
I'm trying not to feel like this is my fault but is this normal ? I do not like feeling like we had a conflict and now they're gone !!
Maybe I'm being too sensitive about this !!! ?

Sadly, and I feel bad even saying this but, families looking for cheap care are not always looking for quality care. There are plenty of cheaper daycare homes around so for some families it is just as easy to up and move elsewhere than it is to be respectful and read and follow contracts. I don't know you or your daycare...but I would say to not take it personally and to just assume that this family was looking at daycares for the price point and convenience (of allowing them to have control over things they shouldn't like when to pay) not for quality of care and a consistent loving place for their child to grow and thrive.
