    I am with mlc on this, although I do agree with those that have said we need to have rules and stick to them etc. However, I don't see that this family is asking to bend rules or being disrepectful. Their cirumstances have changed and they are only able to have part-time care. If mlc is able to manage having a part-timer by filling a full-time spot, then why not? I do treat this as a business, but I believe there is a human side that also needs to be taken into consideration. Sometimes, when we are able to accommodate in order to help out a family, I don't see anything wrong with it. I would probably have done the same. I would just have a frank discussion with the family letting them know that they cannot count on having a full-time space if they should want it in the future because the spot may be filled. Then I would give the option of paying for the full-time spot to hold it if they really want it.
