I have a 3 strike you're out policy in my home daycare. If they have to question everything that I do, or don't respect my rules, then they DON'T TRUST me, and I personally don't want them coming to my home.

Good luck!
I am advertising for that spot, there just seems to be no takers I'll keep on looking and hopefully interview with a nice family. I really believe in going with your gut instincts, and mine was telling me they were going to be trouble, but did anyways because they didn't seem THAT bad. It's not like they're ever rude, it's just ALWAYS something with them. As far as the other family I have...we clicked instantly. Both our families get along and I just knew right away. I guess sometimes you just know when you meet someone. It also doesn't help that I am new at this, so whenever the wipe obsessed parents bring up stuff, I wonder if that is something common for home daycares. I could go on and on...I just hope to fill that spot soon!!
