Ok here's my rant for the week. I have this family that started in September. The baby was 8 months when he started part time and mom signed a contract saying that he would be fulltime in January and because I am low on kids already, I was totally counting on that. I will add too that while I don't usually take babies that young, his mom is close cousins with another daycare mom that has been with me for 7 years and she was the one who asked if I would take him.

I have turned away potential clients because I was keeping the spot for January and because the put a deposit down. There were some minor red flags during this part time period but because she was family of the other mom, I decided to ignore them.

This morning dad comes and says to me that they decided to move out east...I am a little stunned at this point....then proceeds to tell me that they are leaving in 2 weeks!!!!

I know these things happen, but man, it really burns me when these things a sprung upon us like that!!
