NEVER in 20 years have I attended a birthday party for a daycare child, a dinner invite, backyard BBQ or Pampered Chef/Party Lite type party hosted by daycare families.
I don't mix business with personal. period.
My parents know this up front (and my reasons why) so it has never been an issue.
Also I LOVE my weekends and evenings to be "work" free like anyone else.
A few years ago, my friend who is also a daycare provider went to a DCK's 4th birthday party. She said it was the worst experience of her life!!
Because she was the daycare provider, and several of the kids at the party went to her daycare, guess who ended up watching and caring for the kids the entire party while the other adults sat back and mingled while she "worked" (for free)......??

Um, yeah, thanks for the invite but no thank you....
