Daycarewhisperer, are you an accountant? It's always about money with you. For me, it's about caring for all my children and keeping them healthy. I've had a space open for 5 months because I terminated a diarrhea boy who I'm sure had food allergies and the parents wouldn't work with me. It was more important to me to have the other children and myself in a healthier environment away from his constant contamation of our breathing space!
