with all the issues of problem families I just want to thank my lucky stars to have great families.
I think families who adhere to the rules and respect them are worth their price in gold. I am so glad to have the families I have.

They never go beyond my open time, they call me a day in advance or the morning of if they will be late or early for whatever reason and really seem to respect the relationship and have courtesy.

They send in treat bags for Halloween, christmas and Valentines etc for all the kids (including my own) without anyone ever suggesting they do or them agreeing to do it. They just all spontaneously do it and genuinely seem to have interest in the other kids and feel like a close knit group.

If you have great families then life is good
