Good for you Lori!! You don't need a family that is so narrow minded, because you know that there will always be some issue that they are going to question. Maybe they are the type of parents that should wrap their child in bubble wrap till the child is 19, just to protect him/her. Good luck for them finding the "right" childcare.
Yikes... not even an "I'm sorry, but..."??!!
Oh well, glad to hear you filled your spot anyway. Clearly the first family was not one that you want to work with!
