Oh my goodness Momofnerds, some of the antics of parents are outrageous!!!! I have certainly had my eyes opened in the last 11 months of doing this business.

I am lucky enough to have two exceptional sets of parents, who clearly want to be parents to their children & will keep them home, drop off later or pick up earlier if they can. Momof4, you're absolutely right iin saying that these are the best behaved children. They are not acting out for any kind of attention, because they don't need to

I feel quite reluctant to take a full time child (5 days a week), as it's these children who seem to end up with the "weekend" parents. I'm hoping that I can get the spot filled with a couple of part time children......finger s crossed.

Thanks for the advice and views ladies, I really do appreciate it
