We lived in the city, and we moved to the outskirts because our house that we were renting was too small, and we were in a shit school district. Now we have a big house with a big yard, and pay loads less than we did in renting a house a third the size. The kids are far friendlier to my kids, we have our own friends out here, we're closer to DH's family, and my dog loves our yard!
I absolutely don't regret it one little bit, even if I never get a full daycare. ;)
ETA: Thanks for the perspective, even if that wasn't the intention of your question. Kinda needed it. :star:
Sorry Alpha. She's probably bluffing and can't get what she wants from anyone so she's telling you everyone else this so you cave and give in. The 'it's such a shame' was the tell tale for me. She's trying to bully you. Imagine what kind of client she'd be? BLAAAAAAAH
If it makes you feel any better both of those clients I got so quickly both fell through. I'm back to square one again with little bites on my ads. One was actually my neighbour. There's been some drama here with the boys downstairs and their 'illegal activities'. They happen to be friends of my fiance so I'm quite sure the parents were worried about my extra cirricular activities. Makes me want to throw up that they might think that. Got the excuse of getting in somewhere else where they were on a wait list.
Well I'm glad to hear you dont regret it. Happiness is more important then a full daycare. I would never want to live in downtown Toronto ( I am originally from etobicoke) for anything ....I like to visit but I like my oasis in the country. My dog runs free on our four acres ... Kids play outside all the time, we have Bon fires in our yard and pitch a tent in our fruit orchard and sleep under the stars, we hear the foxes calling out in the night and see deer in the fields around us in the early morning ....... Wouldn't trade it for anything ; ) I hope you find some wonderful families to join your daycare and your life will be complete !
