    Some people just have no shame.
    Putting a night out and a new frock b4 your child is just shameful IMO

    What a cheek.

    I would of replied "that is fine but as stated in my policies I am unable to care for your child if fees are not paid in full on the first session of the week. Also I will be adding late fees of X a day until fees are paid uptodate."

    I have to be honest, if the mum was normally a good payer and this was a one off and I could afford to wait til next week, I would allow it and have done in the past for a couple of my mums.

    I must admit I have a mum who is not very reliable at paying. But she never gives me an excuse like that. She occasionally will say money is tight and asks to pay at the end of the week which I know she will. shame on that mum to even text you that excuse. She could have atleast given you a better excuse. Something that didnt make her sound bad like that.

    One of my friends mums told her she couldn't afford to pay her her money this wel as they were going to Peter Kay on Friday night, she gets tax credits too. Friend was furious but didn't know what to say when put on the spot. I may mention the late payment option see what she says

    Or if they would do this for their credit cards or direct debits?

    I'd love to know what the OP replied!

    Default Gobsmacked update

    I did ask Mum to pay for Fridays fee as I budget my weekly 'wage' and so need the money, however I've said she can pay the second days fee next week as I don't have her child 2 days most weeks so don't include this when working out my weekly budget. I'm just too soft!
