[quote=Anonymous]You need a solid contract detailing payment terms, dates, late fees and consequences. I realize that when running an in-home day care it can be harder to maintain the boundaries between the personal aspect and the business aspect. However, when it comes down to it, as much as you may like the families and the kids, you are running a business. My advice is that moving forward you stick to your contract policies and don't make exceptions or let things slide. Nip them in the bud. If your parents are late, charge the late fee. Don't open before your operating hours, don't let things slide because if you do it once you will be expected do do it again ( As a "favor" of course) but you will find it harder to enforce your own rules. As for this woman, if she pays you the $200, then great, but honestly I would say this was an expensive lesson for you. Remember, this is your business, you are not a charity or free service.
