i'd let her pay you on 17th the first month if that is when child starts but tell her to just pay to the end of the month then on 1st of next month she pays the full month.
That would be my solution.
Lots of my parents pay slightly different date. Some of my voucher payments go in 2 weeks early even. Lots of the other payments don't clear until 3 or 4th of the month as parents don't receive them until last day of previous month. I'm happy as long as I know what date it is coming each month and it's not too far past 1st.
if you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always got
