He'll be ready when he's ready.

It's good to have that security deposit... unfortunatly it's going to force you to provide care for at least the next 2 weeks. Do you have a 30 day, it might not work out clause?

It's really hard when this happens. If you decide not to do it the poor kid has to start all over with someone else and go through this all again. The only time I would terminate based on not settling fast enough would be if there was absolutly no progression made at all over a 4 weeks period or if I knew that my sanity just couldn't handle it and it was in the best interest of the child to find someone who was stronger then me to do it.

I had a little one cry and walk to the door for 3 weeks straight! Now she's a pleasure to have around and she's my best sleeper and eater.

Tell the parents that you're struggling. Let them know where you are at in the whole situation and make sure they know that if it's too much during the day you may call to have him picked up early. That you'll always act on the best interest of the child and you know when enough is too much for both of you.

You may find that one day he just stops and is amazing!
