I put some more flyers out and ran some new ads on CL after DCM was rude enough to not give notice the kids last day would be Friday. Got a call the other day from a potential client needing care for a young child I would normally pass on but I was desperate so I told her I would call her back when the kids quieted down. I called her back and she said she didn't need me she found someone. 5 hours later? ok thanks anyway.
Yesterday she calls back complaining her provider keeps coming up with excuses not to watch her baby and now she wants to try me afterall. We set up an appointment for 6:00 Friday. Then she decides maybe that's not a good time. So I give her the pick of all day Saturday (desperate remember) She chooses 2:00 pm. She went on to say the other provider kept making excuses. I asked her if thats why she was leaving. She they had never met yet she was just the 1st person that set up a meeting so she thought she would be her provider that's why she didn't need me. But now she does...OK great see you Saturday at 2:00. We end the call
Today at pick up for DCMs "last day" I tell the kids goodbye sorry this is the last day. DCM says "Oh they will be back on Monday" WTF??? I said WHAT? She proceeded to tell me she was given another week of her school program. She wasn't even going to tell me that either!! What if I had filled the spots?? Who does she think she is. Who does she think I am her slave? I calmed down and said ok then next week you are done right? She tells me no then she goes to a work program. I snapped at her and told her after what she put me through the other day pulling the kids with no notice now they are staying with no notice??? She said srry bout that I don't think to tell you things" I was so mad I wanted to tell her I had filled her spots already and she couldnt stay but I don't know if the new client would work out so I kept my mouth shut swallowed my pride and said see ya Monday.
Tonight I come home at 10:00 to find a message on the machine from the new potential client again2:00 wont work she needs it sooner. She will call me back in the morning to see when they can come. :confused: ALREADY drama! I am afraid to even take this client now because that's how the idiot DCM started hounding my machine every 15 minutes until I called her back.
So now what do I do. I tell ya I am so stressed and confused these days I don't know who is worse who to keep who to let go or avoid. I feel like I am on an emotional roller coaster!
What would you do?
