I don&...--Stop opening the door for service people. I don't deal with that, I'm not risking me or the kids.<br /><br />--pack a water bottle, problem solved.<br /><br />--"Sorry Bobby we can't get an ice cream today, mommy did leave us money for that"<br /><br />-- Sorry delivery people I can't pay you. Oh you can't deliver it? Oh well.<br /><br />--Notice the bread is getting low, write a note/text. Doesn't get replaced "sorry Bobby, this is lunch today"<br /><br />--Grocery's didn't get delivered because they weren't paid for-- Not your problem.<br /><br />-- Anything else that needs you to pay, "The Mr and Mrs didn't leave any money, sorry"<br /><br />And Finally, when parents get home and all or some of that happened: "Oh Mr/MS Smith, I didn't have any money for XYZ" Don't apologize. When they complain about the extra fee's with re-scheduled deliveries, or what ever... simply tell them "I didn't have the extra cash, rent was due/its shopping night/its laundry night (what ever)"<br /><br />The repair man you need to have a blunt conversation NOW with them. Happened to me once, no warning. Told the guy through the door I can't open it (He understood). Called my boss, he didn't think about it, and understood my side of it--then thanked me for caring about his kids safety!Lacynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-52901948823478329072015-04-19T10:12:39.806-04:002015-04-19T10:12:39.806-04:00Dont buy anything anymore. You dont need to....if ...Dont buy anything anymore. You dont need to....if you lack a tip, simply say "sorry, they didnt leave any cash". Dont feel bad about it either. It will look bad on them, not you. When and if it comes up, explain to them that you cant afford to dig in your pockets for their expenses. Done.
