Update on mine - I gave 4 weeks notice to my little one and felt terribke, really guilty that I hadn't been able to help this little one or his family but really felt I had gone above and beyond and tried everything! Other little ones were getting upset and I have a new little one starting on one of the days and I just thought I can't do it! (new one is 7 months, crier has just turned one last month. I perservered for nearly 4 months and felt it wasn't fair on child either to be so upset all the time. Had conversations with both parents, Mum wouldn't really accept any of it - she is real helicopter parent, picks him up all the time and sleeps with him, doesn't let him cry at all. Dad was more honest - he is like it at home too - demanding and crying.
So I gave them 4 weeks notice, they came for one week, left saying they didn't think they would need me the next week as hoping to have sorted something out - have 'forgotten' to pay me for the last week (2 days) its eased my conscience a whole lot because now I don't feel guilty I feel really p***d off that I bent over backwards for them and stuck it out for so long and they've left owing me money - grrrr!! I have sent them a nice little message reminding them and they have said oh sorry yes we will pay, but haven't so will have to chase properly.
