This is a great post! I am a culprit of talking only about the "bad" things that certain families offer. I am so bad, I think that people don't even realize I have more than one family lol

I have two other families and thus far, they are both amazing! I have a new little baby and her mom is great! She is always asking what she can do to make the transition easier. I gave her the schedule and she's been trying to follow it at home. When I texted her to ask what a certain cry meant, she said "sorry she's being so difficult" I was like NO she's being great. She always wants to do things that make it easier for me to take care of her child, which is fantastic. She is really great!

The other family is new, I haven't watched their child yet, but they have worked really hard to get their place, and they email me once a week to see if there is anything they can do to make the transition easier. I have a website, and I swear the dad memorized the website word for word lol I know they will be active in their child's care.

That's all that really matters to me - that the parents are active and participate in their child's care, that they take it seriously and communicate. That's all I ask. For parents to be similar in how I raise mine, and their children.

Great post!
