Hi Everyone, I am new to this forums, and have really found this one to be very helpful, so heres hoping you lovely ladies have some advise for me I am new to running a dayhome (only about 2 months so far), everything is going great, and I seem to be working out most of the bugs as I go, but there is one issue I need help with. I have one mother who just makes me feel like I am walking on eggshells, like if I say or do anything in away she wouldnt do it, she will pull her child. She is a first time older mom and she was very nervous about putting her child in daycare. She told me that her and her husband had one dayhome lined up, and they went back for a second interview to sign forms, and the daycare provider was letting her 3 year old and 11 year old play outside alone together, so they decided not to go with that one. Then they had another one lined up, and something went wrong again at the 2nd interview. Needless to say I was very nervous for my second interview as well lol. Everything went great and I seemed to get along well with both parents (they even told me they had interviewd 5 other dayhomes before deciding to go with me). However the mom just doesnt seem comfortable, like she doubts my abilities, or that her daughter should come. She is surprised at the number of kids I have (I have 6, 2 of that 6 are my own, and 4 are full timers, which is allowed in alberta), she has asked me how i could possibly feed them all, how i nap them, she doesnt understand how her daughter who is 9 months could participate in any crafts, and the latest thing is that she doesnt want her child playing with any toys recommended for a child older then 9 months (which is understandable, but if fisher price little people, are for 1+, and there is nothing on them that could be dangerous to her) She hasn't said anything to me about pulling her, but at the end of the day, I feel sort of bad about myself, I want parents to be happy with their service, not questioning everything I do. Her daughter has only been with me for about 6 weeks, and for the most part has adjusted well, so basically what I am asking is will the mom adjust? Will she learn to be more comfortable with me and not be so apprehensive? Is there light at the end of the tunnel?
