No Way in hell am 1 going to pay twice. 1 reached adulthood and managed to get a College education and build a successful career in spite of the atrocious Job my parents did. The truth is 1 ought to sue them for damages. My Bills for therapy to straighten out the harm they did amounted to a Small Fortune. Actually i should be compensated for the years of hard labor i put in before i was 18.1 ran the House and raised my younger Brothers and Sisters when i was just a kid myself.

As a music appreciation teacher at Marin Community College in Kentfield calif., i read with special interest the letter from the woman who had been a member of a tour group in Kiev in the soviet Republic of Ukraine when one of the members tried to organize a group sing along. She was left wondering which songs Are the most widely known among Bur population. I threw the question out to my students and they tuesday May 28, t991 her the same evening. This is what happened five minutes before a Jill Quot was to be picked up the woman she was to sit for called in tears and cancelled. It seems sire and her husband had had a big argument and she decided not to go out that night. The woman apologized profusely but said nothing about compensating Jill for her loss of income. When the woman Hung up Jill just sat there stunned. She had counted on earning at least $50 that evening. 1 told my daughter the woman was extremely inconsiderate but things like this happen in life and it was t the end of the world. 1 do remember however that when i had to cancel a baby Sitter on Short notice Back in the Days when 1 needed one i always gave the girl a portion of what she would have earned so that the evening was not a total loss to her. Several weeks have gone by and Jill Hasni to heard one word from these people. They Are probably embarrassed and done to want to face her. Am i wrong to assume that the decent thing for them to do is Send her something a even now please advise in print. I m sure Many Sitters would like to know How to Deal with this sort of thing. Sympathetic but Seething dear sympathetic but Seething Jill should have an understanding in Advance with All new clients that if they cancel they Are obligated to pay her a percentage of the fee. Id suggest 25 percent if she still has time to fill the spot and 50 percent if she does not. Jill can ask for a conscience Money now but i doubt the stars and stripes Page 19 Shell get it.
