Starting to feel at home...
Why the guilty feelings and should I have them! have to remember this is a business
I had a lady come, very nice, her husband had told me one thing about what was needed, she told me another. Then after the interview and I am asking her when the little one can start coming to get used to everyone around my daycare, she was like, oh I forgot to mention, I am going away for 4 months so she won't be coming until the summer, which is when I am at my max. I was kind of stunned so didn't really say much. Now my situation has changed and I cannot take her as a parent is returning to work early from maternity leave. I let this family know so they can look for alternate care and the guy calls and was NOT happy. I explained that my situation has changed and the obligation I have to this current family (as I already have one of their children in my care) and he was not very nice on the phone. He was like, you said this, you said that. What I felt like saying is, you were not up front with me either . After all of this, I find out they have two other children that were not even mentioned at the interview. How do you handle things like this, I am feeling guilty that I cannot take this little one, but at the same time, could you imagine getting a little one to adjust in the middle of the summer when it's already a busy time. AND she has never napped without being rocked to sleep. Ughhhh, sometimes this job can be so frustrating
