The one thing I Hate about daycare is the inconsistency and lack of respect. I was full in the Summer but two kids started school. One dcm tells me how she will be bringing her newborn after maternity leave. I explained to her that I made it clear during the interview that I do not take babies. She was okay with that (although she was VERY pregnant). After a month of getting her daughter adjusted (screamer & crier all month) she had to look for new care before baby came. Without telling me she just doesn't show up for the past 2 days. I figure she found other care but gosh a call would have been nice...lack of consideration. Not an option to collect two weeks because I did tell her I would forfeit my two weeks if she found care...but how about letting me know so I don't sit around and wait for her child for two days.
Another dcmom tells me that she is pulling her son for several weeks because of finances. This is the same lady who told me diapers were not in her budget (I've talked about her before). The little boy is so sweet and my son's best friend. I told her ok he can come back if spot available(obviously I have room). But then she shows up with brand new fancy art work acyrlic nails and trying to hide them at that. The dcb asked mom "who did that" pointing to her nails as she is trying to put them in her pockets. Money problems unh? Diapers not in the budget unh? It's not my busniess to get into people's finances but she has her priorities all wrong. Just frustrated because now I only have 1 dcg...hard to make the bills with only one kid. Plus I spent all this time and effort putting together some preschool activites to start first thing September just for everyone to leave before I can implement it. SO UPSET!!!!!

Work on menus etc. This could be a great opportunity!
I'm kind of in the same boat. All my children but one went to school this year, after having them for 3 years. Now, I too, only have one child. I've been advertising for the past 4 months, and haven't had much luck. I've had my daycare for 19 years, and I've been through this before. I keep reminding myself I will get through this, I will get more calls, more interviews, and more kids, but geez, I'm ready now! It gets discouraging sometimes, but It always seems to pick up eventually, often times it just takes much longer then I would like.
