I have the greatest kid, with a wonderful dad....but mom drives me bonkers. It's always SOMETHING. First, she insisted that he had to bring a backpack every day. I let that one slide because it fits in his cubby, and it just had a pull-up and his blanket in it.

Then, she talked me into a fee reduction because her husband had an accident and was in ICU...he had a crushed lung from an ATV accident. I felt bad, then they bought two new cars.....

Now she's trying to drop off early when my gates are still closed. I don't let her in...but she sits out there getting grumpy and huffy. Part of the original fee reduction included reduced hours....don't be trying to sneak extra time in on me.

Now she's got the nerve to be grumpy because I won't give them the same vacation discount I give everyone else....I pointed out that she gets a discount all year long.

done

going to miss her cutey though

Good riddance! Some people really enjoy looking a gift horse in the mouth

I'd go back to their old fee schedule effective two weeks from today. While you're waiting for a replacement you should, at least, get the same tuition that you're getting for every other child.

My contract is 4 weeks notice to make changes on either side...other than terming. I can replace him faster than that.

I hava had 2 DCP that were nightmares. I gave some leeway with the first one with tuition reductions cause I felt bad but then they started taking advantage of me. I stick to my guns now. Feels empowering

It's hard once the resentment enters.

You do something good to help someone out and it feels good but then when you find out that they really didn't 'need' the help or that circumstances changed and it morphs from feeling good into feeling taken advantage of.

Definitely a signal that it's time to go.

Yup, totally agree with BC.

Giving leeway isn't a bad thing, unless it leads to resentment. Then it's time to make a change.
