    If they are your neighbour then you might want to come right out and tell them that their hangup with the insurance was what we call a red flag in the daycare business meaning something that has nothing to do with providing care for the child and therefore you wish them well in finding care but so that they don't put off too many caregivers with their questions would they like to talk about why this was important to them and would they like some advice on what is really important for caregivers and parents to know.

    I would be wanting to find out just what they were thinking and why. I mean afterall if they live next door what if a parent or child steps on their property or the ball goes over the fence into their prize petunias....

    Thankfully we live in the country so we don't have to see them and there are about 10 acres between our houses. The more I think about this, the more hesitant I am to take them. I will be honest with them because I don't want bad relations with them but regardless of their reasoning, I think I will be paranoid every time one of their children gets a bump. As all you know, children get hurt and so do mine at home and when they were in daycare. I don't need to worry about a lawsuit with every bump and scrap.

    Thanks for helping me follow my intuition ladies.

    I think I know those couple He asked me the same question. I told him the insurance is to cover me and it has nothing to do with them. It would put me in a difficult situation if I didn't have it etc. So they should not worry about it.

    He also asked me when I'm planning to have kid. His wife told him off and she said sorry. I gave him his answer though.

    I told them my unreasonable fee which I know they can not afford to pay

    Wierdos!
