Yes, it does sound like you are being nasty...

Why should Crusty McPottydoodle have to rearrange things for some "guy", not the mom the "dad" because he cant get his...stuff together? She is now having to take payment from 2 different people because they are getting a divorce. Is this Crusty McPottydoodle fault....NO. Its their problem but "he" is now bringing it into her life and daycare. Not fair...she has every right to complain.

Crusty McPottydoodle is just wanting to get paid on time like agreed and you feel it necessary to attack her for that. Isn't that what contracts are for? To make sure everyone is doing what they are supposted to be doing?

If Crusty McPottydoodle was offereing bad daycare, then the parents would pull their child out...they are not...that should tell you something.

Have fun calming down again.

ha think I'm nasty go right ahead then I will say this too....
then don't take the kid, end of problem!

And give me a break, whether its from 1 payment source, 2, 3, 4, or 5! Its still money!

I have been divorced from my ex for 10 years, and we pay seperate for everything, child care, karate, dance, baseball, and get this BABYSITTING!
never had a problem getting a business to take 2 checks not once.
My kids are not neglected for it, and no of no other situation. They were 1 and a few months.
But I guess I deal with good and kind business people to go through such an inconvience.

and I think your being nasty.

Divorce is ugly, its much more ugly for the parents and the kid. and I guess the daycare worker because they have to take to payments.

Of course I am being nasty. I think we now have something in common.

The subject is not about your kids and how you provide for them. So lets take it away from you. Its about Crusty McPottydoodle and her wanting to vent a little. Sorry you have such a problem with it, but this is the Random Ramblings section. People are allowed to rant

Back on topic please.....

I'm sorry if this has already been mentioned, I have't read all 5 pages...

But maybe he could give you a check on the 15 for the next full month. IE he gives you a check on June 15 to pay for the month of July.

That being said...I've had my children in a daycare facility for their entire childhood. My daughter is 12 and my son is 5. When he was born, he was in the NICU and then ill and then hospitalized for surgery. By the time I made it over to the daycare facility to pay for the childcare my daughter was getting, and for them to continue to reserve a spot for my son, I owed them 1000.00.

They were WONDERFUL. There were no dirty looks or snide remarks. I had a relationship for many years with them prior to this and they knew I paid on time, but were wonderful and supportive through an incredibly horrible time for my family.
They also had their staff trained on the medical equipment that he needed.

The entire staff was wonderful and concerned and human.

I just wanted to give a big "hats off" and a deep appreciative "thank you" to those of you out there that love our kids along with us.

This makes sense--not all bills can be re-arranged, and even when they can, the hoops to jump through to make the rearrangement can be a nightmare. When my sons were in daycare (a few thousand years ago, or so it seems) and when I did daycare one year, payment was always by the week, not the month. Monthly payments did not come until they entered formal preschool (with no before/after care) or kindergarten. And most of those have an annual tuition with several payment choices--often 10 equal payments for 9 months of school.

I believe you can also go to his bank directly and cash it. Then you will not be penalized if it bounces, I think.

Some banks (my hunband's, for one) charge a fee for cashing a check if you do not have an account at that bank...even if it is drawn on their bank!

But if they said "next month we're changing pay dates from the 1st to the 15th (assuming there is anyplace left that pays only once per month), so on the 1st there will be a check covering the 1st to the 15th (half of what you would expect), but on the 15th you will receive a check for the next month, running from the 15th to the 15th.

Years ago my company was bought by a larger company. Ours paid bi-weekly, but in advance; the new company paid weekly, but two weeks in arrears (in otherwords, on the 15th, they paid you for the week that you had completed at the end of the previous month. Then a week later they paid for the first week in the month, etc. They did not phase it all in at once--that would have caused people to go several weeks without pay, but they did phase in the change, and it was not a lot of fun.

My daughter was in Daycare since she was 6 week's old until almost 9 year's.It was a set fee for week so if she was out a couple day's etc. sick I still had to pay the reg. week fee.I had to drop her one week when she had chicken pox After surgery on ear's and throat then re-enroll.Nothing is free and taking care of kids is a lot of work.I keep my 21 month old grandson basicaly 24/7 and my daughter pays $300 a month rent.I was paying $70 a week back then for daycare for her on a little pay!Drive's OUR CAR ( car pmt.) We pay for Ins. elec. house pmt.phone buy stuff for baby,food, and everything else and she think's She is overcharged!And the deadbeat dad lay's here several time's a week too!.He was living here full time for 7 month's after baby.Threw his lazy bum butt out.Baaaaaa hubby says he can stay only on her days off now .WHY?Uselss wonder grrrrrrr.I was a dummy when I divorced 1st hubby.He got away scott free never paid a dime.There's too many deadbeats out there and they need to fix their crap for sure.I would give them notice if the dad isnt paying up.Maybe then she will get some help from the court system with getting him to pay his share.My daughter is going to pay her rent here until she decide's to wake up and get some help from that Loser BF.!
