    I should be clear, the holding fee was only Junes payment so really nothing extra. So they wouldn't be loosing anything that way. But your right about the online ads, thanks.

    PERSONALLY...and this is just me....but I would probably terminate before this family even starts by telling them that I think it won't work out.
    I am sooooo bad at confrontation and getting out of a bad care situation when you are already in it...as well as affecting the kids by pulling them is just too stressful. I find it easier to say no right at the get go ( with a lot of thought and troubled sleep) before I get to know the family and kids better and start feeling guilty.
    I think it is better to heed warning signs, pull out and advertise for a new family.
    If you say that you have different parenting styles then you are probably going to have ongoing friction. Ideally you want people who are similar in style to what you practise.
    I would tell them that you think you are not a good match for them and that in the long run you feel like it probably won't work out.
    That is what I would do but I don't depend 100% financially on my daycare so it is probably a different situation based on what you can afford and whether you can afford the space to be empty until you find a new family.
    Good luck. I think it is important to listen to your gut and imagining whether you will be happy in the long run

    I also recommend you stop this before it goes anywhere. If you are already having doubts and getting attitude from the Dad, trust me when I say it will NOT get better.
    Save yourself the trouble : )
