yes I do hear what you are saying thirdtimesacharm ..I am very grateful that I am in a position that should this happen.....(someone leaves with no notice)....I won't lose any sleep over it....I do this because I love children and it fills my day with amazing memories....I am ok having to take time to replace a lost one....honestly....i f I DON'T want a particular family coming to my home anymore for whatever reason...I DON'T want to have to put up with their nonsense for another say "3" weeks because of a legal bind...I like it better this way....I owe them nothing....and they owe me nothing....In all the time I have been doing this...it may have happened once!![]()
