Taking control is one thing but as the saying goes "if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all". Agree with Judy's plan.

I know we say my house my rules but at the same time there is this fine line between not my kid/not my parenting methods. Yes we look for parents with similar values but there will always be things we disagree on that will crop up as the child gets older because in reality the parent of the 6 month old that came for the interview has no idea yet of what kind of a parent she intends to be, whose authority/quackery she will listen to or what she will expect from daycare.

Hope the rest of your day is going better:

But no more soothers to deal with, cheaper grocery bill if mom is supplying milk - not all bad.
