What's your Take on this?

[5 Little Monkeys]

I would give their deposit back and tell them that you are sorry but the inconsistent times will not work for you.

I have a pt spot open right now and met with a mom last night. She is super nice and we really "clicked". However, her times seem to be a little inconsistent and up in the air right now (depending on which job she gets for the summer as she is a student). The times are very close to my closing time and in some cases, could be over closing time. She is going to get back to me when she knows a bit more on the pick up times but I am not sure I will even offer her the spot. I am going to go ahead and meet with another family who will be picking up almost 2 hours before my closing time. If I like the new family I will offer them the spot. If I don't think the 2nd family will fit in either, the spot will remain unfilled until I find someone who I like and whose needs will fit into my dc. I completely know what it's like to fill a spot with a less than desirable family because the bills need to be paid but fortunately, right now my finances allow me to be picky about who I accept into my dc. If you can afford to not have this family than I think that is your best option and to keep advertising until a family comes along that is better suited for you and your dc.
