I had to close for the day Monday because of no heat or hot water. Two of my moms were very sympathetic, and offered their houses for showers. The third wanted to know how much I would be refunding for the day. To clarify: I have NEVER made parents pay for days that I have needed to close, not that there have been many.
So Tuesdays are dance class days for this 'refund' family. Normally mom shows up by 3:20 in order to get her girls home and changed before dance class. But this past Tuesday, the day after my closing, she shows up at 4:35 - 5 minutes late - rushing her dd out the door to get to dance. She and her other dd have been home and changed clothes. Mind you, home is out of the way, and they will also now go out of their way to get back to dance. My house is on her way home from work!
I know this was because I was closed on Monday. My dh was so mad! He said, "You have given the refund for Monday, so you make sure you collect your late fees. Charge her $10!"
Parents are a trip. I am really not a fan of passive aggressive behavior!
