Parents can get over themselves

Ok I posted yesterday that I overslept because of being up with Hadassah the night before. Well, today the daycare kid that was in yesterday's blog wasn't here by 8:30. So I called the mom at 8:45 no answer. I call the dad. He says she won't be there today... she's not coming back. I will bring by the two week notice fee. He proceeds to rake me over the freaking coals. Says his daughter is picking up bad habits, as a bad attitued now at home (wait could this be her age) LOL... That she doesn't like me and says I am mean to her. (OK, a BIG FAT WHATEVER) is what I am thinking. I ask the dad how long as this been an issue (little girl started back on Nov. 8th) He says, "Oh ever since she started." I can't understand this and I say, "If this has been an issue this long, why am I just now hearing about it?" I tell him I can't address/fix anything if there is no communication between the parents and myself. He gets pissed that I need to take my daughter to the Dr.... I explain to him I work 7 days a week without a day off to run errands, go grocery shopping or set up appointments for myself or for my kids. I take the daycare kids with me. The parents know this when they sign up (because HELL) it is just me. I called to let parents know what was taking place, and that I could/would meet or take the kids anywhere I needed to after her appointment. I wasn't asking for parents to pick up their kids early. I was giving them the courtesy of knowing what was taking place. He tells me it is my fault I don't have back up. I tell him each parent pays 50.00 a week. There isn't enough in the budget to hire someone in.  He said he would pay the two week notice and I told him under the current circumstances that they needed to do what was best for them and their daughter and to please not worry about paying me anything. He said it was also financial as to why they needed to pull her and that was the main reason. They are about to have a baby and can barely afford for one child much less two. A grandparent just retired this week and so now he has free childcare. In the end, I suppose we parted at least on decent terms. Parents serious need to remember that they are not the only people in this world.
