I understand it is a while to take off of from daycare, however, I approached it early, told them that if they felt they needed to move on then I understood. What I'm upset about is that this parent was the first to say "Oh yes, of course we will be back in March! That will be no problem at all. Really? Is that all the time you are taking? " and the fact that I know they have dealt with a few months time off in the past (the provider before me was diagnosed w/ cancer and had to take some extended time off for treatment 2x within 2 years. The second time, the provider decided not to re open which is how they ended up with me.

I'm just hurt, I wish she would have been honest with me sooner rather than now. I'm going to miss her kids, and my kids are going to miss them too.
