Rural(Suburbs) Or Urban(City)

[Blackcat31]

That is how our state is. You have to live in the house you are doing childcare from to be considered a family childcare.

May I ask what your hubby means by this. I'm being very serious on this because I'm getting the feeling sme of my own children may feel this way because of childcare. One of mine already says they don't want to have children-. Has said this for several years. They have been raised there whole life in childcare. Going to be in college soon so not a little one. I so hope this has seriously not had an ill effect on them because of my profession.

I will answer you in a bit. I have a tech person on my laptop and only have access to my iphone right now and it is too small to type alot into.

can i please have a moderator change the poll and reset it?

after a few people have pointed out...it should read.

rural

suburbs

urban

sorry for the confusion. being a city kid...i always put suburbs and rural together.

I modified the poll now so I hope it helps

You know, I've always wondered. If I set up the house to "look" like I actually live there, how can they prove I don't?

I pay homesteaded property taxes on my home and non-resident tax on my daycare house... I cannot legally homestead two places unless it is seasonal like a cabin I only use a small amount of time.

That's wierd! Our state is unionized (it's voluntary though), and the union has fought the state on adding that rule!

Our state has no clue how or if it willbe union yet and NONE of the details are worked out yet. We just know it is coming.

saved4always - thanks for sharing. legally un-licensed means no more than 3 children in ur area?

I have only 3 children right now, but, where I live you can have up to 6 children under the age of 6 (or it might be 6 and under, can't remember the exact wording off-hand) with no more than 3 of them being under 2 and be unliscensed. More children would require the provider to be liscensed. The 6 children includes the provider's own children in those ages (my own children are much older). I have never gotten up to the limit because I like a small group. My house is not very large so the 3 little ones I have now is a good number for me. They are all around the same age and get along most of the time.

So, I did this poll this morning and checked rural before you added suburbs, but we are really more the suburbs. Sorry..that probably puts your count off a little. But, this area WAS rural at one time so I didn't get it totally wrong, just a little bit....
