No update yet. I tried calling her, but couldn't reach her, so I emailed her the news. I told her that I was very sorry, but I am no longer able to provide care for her son, and that upon deeper reflection, I didn't feel equipped to meet his needs as well as the needs of my other daycare children who had been there longer, and to whom I must give priority.

I tried to word it so that that onus was on me, and not anything happening as a result of anything she has done or said. Why bother getting into all that? I am hoping she takes it well. I am not a confrontation kind of person, and will be distraught if she becomes angry. I am just repeating to myself the worst case scenarios, and none of them seem all that bad as I listen to them over and over in my head.

New girl started today. She's a sweetie. I don't regret my choice, no matter what the fallout.
