    Yup... I think I offended a few friends when I turned them down for daycare LOL. I just said I don't mix business and pleasure. I want to be able to terminate a child if I need to without worrying if it will affect my friendships.

    Way back, I offered to care for the grandchildren of my hubby. We didn't want any payments but their father insisted on it.....and he made a statement like how it's going to be, but my hubby corrected him (son in law) about how it's going to be in the daycare!

    It was really hard even when you want to impose the kind of discipline you have in the daycare....I was walking on eggshells. But there must be fairness to all children. At least the relationship survived, even though it was strained for a few months after that episode.
    That's when I really learned.....Never again!
