Decline a family for care

Yeah, I was thinking about telling her that I've filled my spot, but I have to keep advertising and I hate the idea of being caught in a lie...May have to chance it though. I think that I'd hate myslf if I took on the family.

I wouldn't lie, I would be honest and tell her you don't feel like you guys are a good match. You don't have to explain yourself. We are free to NOT chose a family that we don't want. That's the joys of being your own boss Then you can keep advertising without worrying..just my opinion. I'm all about honesty though, makes life so much easier.

I understand your niceness, but I would lie and say you had a meeting with another family whose schedule worked better with yours. Chances are, you will never see this lady again. And if you do, and she does find the posting, oh well! she'll just be wondering why you didn't take her in and maybe it will be a good thing for her to reflect upon.
