Good evening all

Im having a little problem with a parent when we signed contracts she asked if ever she missed a day could she pass it over to the following week or even in a few days i said NO i dont do this contracted days are to be paid for regardless if used or not.. she was fine with this (trying to push her luck)

Now we have changed the contract to every other week. we are a week into the new contract she is asking to not use one of the days as dad is having them but use it for the following week i am the type of person that cant say no.. but i have just sent a text back saying no sorry contracted days are to be paid for if used or not it will have to be an extra day...

This may sound harsh but if i did it once this would happen every week and im not prepared to do it its not fair on me i dont know if im coming or goin...


WHAT WOULD YOU GUYS DO PLEASE???????

personally I think you've done the right thing. You have to stick to your guns otherwise she will take libertys and especially as you specifically said it can't be done.

Its so hard isnt it Blaze...

She paysby direct debit same amount every week and when i send her invoice and receipts she bins them doesnt even look at them anymore as they were always the same she says she doesnt need a recipt as she has the bank account for proof......

Apart from say u owe me ive tried everything i can think off lol

I think you did the right thing.

If she is not happy you could ask her what she would do if her employer said he didn't need her one week but she could work an extra day the next to make up - I doubt she would be very happy.

Stay strong and tough :thumbsup:

i absolutley agree with you contracted days are used or paid for
i have an agreement with a mum that if she swaps a day in the same week then she can pay half for the swapped day so she pays 3 and a half days for 3 days worked if she wants to swap two days she pays 4 days for 3 days worked i am happy with that and so is she.

Mum never got back intouch so i didnt worry myself to much until i got home from the gym and was told she had phoned and i neede to ring her asap...

I plucked up the courage and rang her she only asked if we could swap a weekend......

HELLO... thats what ivaid no to only the other day... she wasnt happen when i said i couldnt do it ive got to stick to my guns and she is making it very difficult to do...

She has now canceled tomorrow but she knows she has to pay but we wil see...

I would love to give her notice but im the type of personn who cant do it i want to stop doing weekends anyway and thats when i have them but i also pick them up take mum to work stoop off at the shop for her then do the same on the way home pick p from work pos go the shop and take home.....

I dont charge for fuel which i should and ive already dropped the weekly payment as she said tax credits wouldnt pay...

Im at my witts end and my children dont get on very well with them i found the 5yr old boy with his hands around my 2yr olds neck and when i informed mum she laughed it off and said boys will be boys.....

I was so mad i cryed my eyes out when i got home.
He also calls everyone "Gay" and i hate the word i think its horrible i tell him we dont use words like that and its not nice to call people Gay and when i tell mum she says was you joking
Well as im pulling away she shouts to the kids stop being gay.... Hello

I will find the courage to end the contract when i put it into words like this it makes me want to end it now......
