Thanks to all for your advice. I am returning their finished work tomorrow and I will be prepared to pick up tapes. I will simply add a late charge to their bill for 7/01 and another for 7/15 if that invoice goes past due. I do agree that this contract is probably going to come to an end, whether it be on my part or theirs. I cannot continue working for someone not knowing when I will be paid. To the few who feel I'm being antsy over the bill being paid late -- think of it this way: if they cannot meet their office bills now, they're about to take a week off with seeing no patients, which is going to worsen their cash crunch in about three weeks when they would normally be receiving insurance checks for that week.
As to my having a cash flow --I do have such and I can deal with a check being late; however, I'm going to be looking at 7/15 being late also. What I don't like is being told I'll be paid when things get back on track for them.
As for my children or obligations not being their problem, they are very aware of the fact that I am the breadwinner for a family of five with a terminally ill husband (with exorbitant prescription costs). So, yes, I am probably getting too uptight too quick in some respects, but I just resent the added stress this is causing me. Anyway, I will keep you guys posted. Thanks again to the ones who offered kind words and advice. It helps to have another opinion when something like this happens.
