Hahaha, funny.... and true.
I do find it tough, especially when you have opened up your home to someone and they don't even give the courtesy of a call or email. I have to say, though, that when we were looking for childcare, I didn't call everyone back. (I am ashamed....) I didn't want to have an awkward conversation!!

I really, really try to remind myself that if they are indeed the right family and a good fit for my daycare, then it will work out. They will call me, be it now, or later. Until then, I keep interviewing. And I NEVER give out my paperwork on the interview. If we decide to go ahead, they either write me a cheque for the first month's fees right then and there, and I will give them the package to take home and bring back (BEFORE the first day of care) or they can call me back after our first meet and greet and come back for it.

So do you all follow up with people who don't get back to you? How long do you give someone to respond before you presume that they are not interested??
