    Okay, you're in the exact same situation I was in last year. Here's what happened to me. I had a girl 4 days per week. I got attached and Mum got pregnant. She said she couldn't afford to keep her in 4 days per week for mat leave, so I dropped her down to 2 days AND held a spot for her unborn child. Everything was going swimmingly and she seemed so grateful....had even talked about switching schools to keep the girl with me when she was 4. Then, 6 weeks before the 2 kids were to start full time, she had a friend tell me that she was putting the kids into a larger centre closer to her home. She knew very well that I was turning people away while she was cooking this up and she even tried to get her friend to pull her daughter out too so the girls could stay together. I've never in my life had anyone do anything so underhanded and crappy to me. End of the story, I lived in a rural area, couldn't find another client quickly enough, had to move.

    The moral of the story....fill the spaces. It's a business and you need to pay your bills. It was a hard lesson to learn, and I'd rather you not learn it the hard way.
