Well, I checked my account today and it is in the negative... Why, because one of the checks I cashed from a parent bounced. Sigh... She pays weekly and I found a check in my purse from 2 or 3 weeks ago. So I let mom know I found a check I hadn't cashed yet and is it okay if I go ahead and cash them both. She said sure no problem and even kind of laughed.
So, the next day I went to the bank and cashed both checks. Now I have had zero problems with this family. Mom always pays on time, even when dcb isn't here. He is also a great kid. I only have him for 3 more weeks though because dcm graduates this semester.
So when she comes tomorrow I have to confront her and let her know she owes me the amount of the check, the return check fee AND this weeks tuition. Sigh. I hate talking about money to dcf. I always feel soooo uncomfortable. I was thinking of typing up a letter and mentioning it to dcm when she drops off tomorrow. This really stinks, but I need the money for the holidays... Hopefully dcm will feel bad and will just pay the money without a fuss... I feel bad because I should have cashed the check then but I did ask before cashing it, just to make sure! grrr!!!!
