How long would you hold out?

i also say hold out! What fellow DCP friends of mine and I have found out, in the daycare business, it can be feast or famine. Meaning there are times when you are bombarded with calls from people looking for daycare even though you are full and sometimes when you are actively looking and advertising like crazy, you won't get many replies. It's true what others have said, it does come in waves, and it is very easy to lose your patience when you aren't getting many bites. I understand that you want a good income, especially if you need 2 incomes in your household. If it were to come down to your savings being depleted, maybe you might want to consider working Monday to Friday, just to stay out of financial trouble. I know you don't want to work the 5 days, but I would rather that then to see you get into money problems. I sincerely hope you aren't faced with that though! Would you consider taking in a child whose parents only need you for a few days if that were to come up? (like 2-3 days) Even that's better than nothing at all, but that's just my opinion, honestly.

Let us know what you come up with.
