Okay story and question..
Around the end of October ‘18 ,
Time was winding down for pregnancy ... my son was attending a in home daycare that coast $100 each week. I get paid Bi-weekly so that’s how I paid for his daycare , $200 every 2 weeks.
One Friday I went to pick up my son.. and as soon as he walks to me To go home I knew something was wrong. He looked sad in the face and he instantly threw up right at my feet as if he was scared. At that point I’m like omg what’s wrong?? Are you okay??
The daycare lady says ohhh boo he’s okay , he just holding that juice in his mouth like he do his food when he doesn’t want it. I’m like 🤨 I’ve never known him to do this.. but I left it alone. I was headed to meet my MIN at the store to pick last minute clothes to pack for the hospital for baby. My son throws up his milk time he gets in the basket and I knew then he was sick ! I called the daycare lady and asked if he had been doing this all day and she said he had done it once before but obviously she didn’t feel too alarmed by it. She stated a bunch of kids were picked up that day having virus, bad ear infection, strep throat etc. Once we made it home he continued to throw up and started to run fever. We took him to the doctor the next day to check him and they said he would be fine it was a virus and we had taken good care of him and it was almost done running its course. He stayed out a whole week!
The next couple days I began to feel bad..
here I am, 33 weeks pregnant and vomiting and I go to the doctor and I’m hospitalized because I’ve thrown myself into labor from catching his bugg and I’m 3cm dilated ! ... they put me on bed rest and She texts me saying oh well u didn’t give a 2 week notice although I did because I made it aware I was due anyways for preterm labor according to my doctor.
Now , yesterday my fiancé calls her to come by and grab the tax form from her to file our sons daycare and she says “we’re not giving it to you because you owe $200 from not giving a 2 week notice” ... 😑
That’s bs ! ... I don’t think she’s allowed to do that
I’ve had people to say turn her in because that’s not right. Then she even asks if we could atleast pay $100 ?? Like wtf? My daughter is 2mnths old and that’s how long my son has been out of that daycare. She wants us to feel sorry because she has had surgery and etc
What should I do??

Even if the time was before the given time in which he would be out? I couldn’t give a two week notice being that he was sick one week and expected to go back the next but instead I’m thrown into labor so it caused me to not be able to do anything.. and when I asked if I could email the notice it was like NO. she just wanted $200
@lovingmy_2 no matter what you'd owe the $200. If he was still there today and you pulled him tomorrow- you'd still owe $200 whether he attended the next two weeks or not. You pay for the slot not attendance.
@disco.tits, @laniejay, @aengs2,
I’m not sure I will have to look for the paper. Does the notice have to be written?
Because I had already told her my doctor made it aware I would be preterm when she asked so it was set
Just saying "I might go into preterm labor" isn't two weeks notice becuase they can't fill the slot not knowing definitive dates. Saying "we will no longer be coming as of x date" is notice. It's a business and her income. It's only fair.
@laniejay, I understand that but in the same sense .. she’s like a family friend so she had already agreed to keep him and hold his spot without the definite dates.
Her words were for me to just tell her when I would be out because we came to an understanding that once I was out to have the baby I wouldn’t be able to continue paying for my son to go there since I wouldn’t be working. She said I would just have to do the paperwork again as if he was a new comer.. idk it just seems shady how it’s all been done and if I was to even try to turn her in I wouldn’t have proof because she never gave receipt for payments 😑
It’s messed up that she’s withholding the tax form. Not sure if she can do that. But if the contract you signed stated that you needed to give a two week notice and you didn’t, then you do need to pay her that money. When we pulled my son out of daycare, we provided a written letter that was signed and dated.
Did your contract require 2 weeks notice? If so, you owe it. That's how it works. Many even have 3 week notice policies. You pay for the spot, not attendance and they deserve time to fill your slot.
Turn her in for what? Friend or not, that's her business and her income. 2 weeks is typical and ordinary. She even tried to give you a deal. Business is business.
