What would you do?

Yup - gotta love clients who want special but do not value you for offering that special and when they get a 'sorry this special is proving not to be ideal' they get all pissy about it!

My SIL is still pissed at me and not talking to me because I stopped providing 'free' daycare for my nephew cause they plead poverty while my brother was seeking work and needed 'care' so he could attend interviews and so forth - only to find out nine months into doing this that they had just renovated their kitchen with the money they saved not having to pay for child care and now they were both not working and still expecting FREE daycare .... um no

You have to do what is best for you. You could let the family know you MAY be able to help them out occasionally until you fill the space with a full-time client. Then you will not be making a commitment but might be able to make a little extra money. It's up to you if you would rather cut ties with these people completely.

Wow they have 'balls"!! My SIL is moving soon not sure where, if close enough I'd provide care for my nephew, discounted rate for sure....but not FREE! I have to live & eat too! The nerve...

I always get cautious when friends or family with young children, or expecting find interest in my daycare. I smile and explain that I'm all full... sorry..

Only 2 hours to go until the incredibly uncomfortable last encounter with mom. Wish me luck! lol
