not a good day today. mum of 2 kids who come 2 days a week asked me to switch as one child was ill. on this occasi8n I could not as it would mean asking my assistant to work a friday as an additional day as her contract is 3 fixed days and I needed her on the days she wascontracted to work cause of nursery run. I called mum and explained I could do friday but it won't be a switch as I needed to pay my assistant for the friday as an extra day. so she had to pay for friday. shedecided to bring the non sick child on the normsl day and said she understood
next day which is t8day dad drops off son and is not smiling. I dont remember him responding to my greeting. he then confirmed that his daughter was unwell and queried my charge. he was visible angry though n8t intimidating and said he was really surprised I would still charge, and why should I charge for the thursday absence. that he could not believe I would do that...he was shaking his head and made me feel like the devil. he queried my explanations and asked when my assistant worked etc. he gave a bit of attitude I felt very upset and was shak7ng while explaining to him. he is quite tall. everything was a blur but I was shocked at theway he vented out the anger. . the contract signed visibly said charges applicable for absence and he knows this.
anyways after he lef I realised son had pooed and he was changed.. within 2 hours 3 to 4 more poos...diarreoh I.....had to call mum to tell them to pick him up..she seemed surprised when I said she needed to pick him up..I knew her and hubby home and most likely hubby would come..so I told assistant to hand son over..I am upset cause they know my payment and sickness policy esp as diarreoh is contagious.
I charge them 32 each perday..with additional10% sibling discount. whether it be 6.am drop off (6am to 3pm or 12pm to 8.30pm pick up as she does shifts and if 5 days per week it comes to 150 per week. my other parents pay more...I feel they are not appreciative...so annoyed... ...
