Family over Clients?

[Vincent_Michael]

This is a odd post I think...but what the hell. I called my father the other day and it turns out that he thinks we should all go as a family to see my grandmother who is in a hospital and not doing so well(Family is very important) I ofcourse said I will go.

 

The thing is I had to call and cancel on a client and tell him im sorry but I cant make the apointment because of family....Now I gave him a Five day notice...I feel like a flake but at the same time I feel what I am doing is very important.

 

I wanted to know if you other escorts have ever had to put your family above escorting...Odd question but hey its something that is worthy of a post.

Speaking as a potential client, I would be very favorably impressed with your reason for cancelling and your devotion to your family. I would gladly reschedule our appointment.

Different circumstances, but family-related... my mother was supposed to take the train up to the City to have lunch with me, and I was supposed to meet a client later that afternoon. Well, Mom missed her train, she caught the next one but I had to push lunch back, and it was going to end up being too close to the scheduled meeting with the client. So I called him and told him the absolute truth, silly as it sounded, and offered to reschedule later that day with a discount. He was understanding (I'd seen him several times before) and we rescheduled. He didn't take me up on my offer for a discount, but did needle me a bit, asking how my lunch with Mom was. Once a momma's boy, always a momma's boy I guess!

My mother hires me regularly (she's quite the asseater) so in my case, it's a moot point.

Incest is such a hoot, isn't it?

It happens, and I certainly respect that. In the past, an escort postponed our visit because of a tragedy in his family, and just recently, we had to move some arrangements forward a bit due to a family obligation for another escort. Sometimes you just have something come up that you have to take care of, and at least speaking for myself, as a client, I'd certainly understand and respect that.

 

By the same token, I hope if anything ever comes up for me, an escort will understand and respect that as well and work with me to change the plans.

 

It all goes back to treating each other right, which can only lead to positive things.

With any business (escorting is a business), appointments

sometimes have to be rescheduled or canceled for unforeseen

circumstances. You handled this in a professional manner.

 

I hope grandmother is doing better.

As a client, I would understand esp. with notice. Although as someone who has been a college prof and a supervisor of young adulst, I have to say that sick/dying grandparents seem to be the most popular excuse to get out of responsibility, so I'd be prepared to hear some skepticism from some clients.

A sport the whole family can enjoy! :+

Family always comes first.

 

Client, escort, ...... doesn't matter.

 

You handled it well, and promptly. Just beware that if you cancel because Aunt Ethel died several times in a row, people may become suspicious. How many times can the old biddy die? ;-)

 

But if you're legitimate, family is always a valid reason for postponement. We all have families, and we all know how they can "erupt" at the MOST inconvenient times. Lord knows mine does. :+

Hmmmmmmmm Obviously you've never met my family!

[Vincent_Michael]

Kinda intresting...not all would agree. I though think that family is the most important thing.

[Vincent_Michael]

I have to say nothing bad has ever happend to my family thank God but my grandmother has had some problems over the years and I do want to make sure I am involved in what I can see as her passing.

[Vincent_Michael]

I can see that but my reaction is the trust is the truth..I dont see a point in me cacling a client it doesnt make fincal sense....Now on the other had the im so fucked I didnt study ....hmmm I am feeling a little sick today.

[Vincent_Michael]

Absolutely yes, you've got to put your family first regardless of situation. You're doing the right thing and dont think twice about it. If the person you're seeing doesn't understand, then it's a real shame. We've all got families and friends who need us at particular time frames or moments of crisis. Spending time with loved ones is important and that's the way it should be.

 

Sometimes you're not always in control of a situation. Late last year, my dad was admitted to hospital. I was very scared because we live in different countries. There was nothing more in this world where I wanted to be but with my dad. He felt that I should stay put and not disrupt my life for the sake of him, unless things drastically went from bad to worse. I understood that he was thinking whats best for me, but I felt the need to be with him and make sure he's okay. It definitely hurt me that I couldn't be with my family. As much as I was bitter about his decision, I had to respect his wishes. Cant argue with parents.

 

As long as you have the opportunity to spend time with your family. Take every opportunity you can. I can say this from personal experience, when you have siblings, cousins or friends living in different countries. It makes the heart more fonder and it makes life that much harder by not having access to them. I hope your situation and are able to see your grandmother on a regular basis.

Its been 10 minutes since I read Donnie's post and I am STILL laughing!! Donnie, I love you!

[Vincent_Michael]

It was funny...Thanks for all the advise guys

Hi Vincent,

 

I must agree with the majority. Whenever anyone has to postpone because of family, I am very impressed. and understanding too. Although, I had to laugh to myself when I read the post from the professor/supervisor of young college people, because I too thought about the grandmother excuse which is so often used to excess.

 

Nonetheless, I must say that any normal guy should accept the family reason competely. And I put myself in the group of people who would think MORE of you as a result.

 

Hope your grandmother is getting better. This is totally unrelated, but my mother is scottish - and they have an expression: Never throw yer granny off the bus! Your post made me think of that!
