Thanks for the replies guys. Wow I reread my own post in the morning and boy did I ramble. I'm glad you could understand it haha. That is why I should not be allowed near a forum after 8pm, my brain is just too fried.

When I was first starting I needed income badly. I was in a bad financial situation as I had been dismissed from my position because of a medical leave I had to take after an emergency surgery. Long story short my husband and I were suddenly faced with a huge problem. I had been wanting to start a dayhome and this was the "nudge" I needed but when I advertised I was very slow to pick up clients. In the short term I offered drop in, overnight, evening, weekend.. anything to bring in money. This is how the drop in care started. I no longer do overnight, evening, or weekend but have kept the drop in on my website because I have a couple of regular drop ins. As much as it was needed at that time I wish I had never started it.

I think I will just tell her that as I settled into running the daycare I figured out that I really don't wish to take as many children as I first thought and therefore I won't be able to accomodate her children.

Again very sorry for the long winded, drawn out ramble. It really isn't as confusing as I made it seem lol.
