I have done it before and I ended up letting them go before our friendship ended up going down the drain. In my case since we were "friends" I guess she thought the same rules didn't apply to her, well she found out quick that they did! We are still friends though, just make sure she understands that business is business!

I had a friend find out she was pregnant last year. Immediately she said she wouldnt bring the baby to anyone but me. The closer it got, I told her she could schedule a time to come over and review my policies to make sure we were on the same page. She made an appointment and called the day before to say Auntie lost her job and offered to watch her for a few months for less money. I had no beef at all. Family always trumps friends.
Then, she had the baby and Auntie wanted to move hindering the daycare situation. Mom called me again. Surprisingly enough I still had an opening. Her and dad came later in the week, went home, discussed it and came back the next day with the deposit. 4 days before they were suppose to start, they were blessed to find out their offer on a house was accepted. While I was happy for them, I immediately asked how them now moving 20 miles away would affect daycare, if at all. It was then that she said I would only have her 5-8 weeks until they closed on their house. I was under the impression it was more of a permanent deal. She then said, maybe it'd be better to find someone closer to our new house and had the audicity to ask for their deposit back....FOUR days before enrolling!! I told her no. I had already purchased supplies and there was no way to fill the spot in such a short time.
She was mad but said she understood. Bottom line...we aren't friends anymore.Comment

I wouldn't.
I wouldn't do it. I have done it in the past and it was awful. It ended the friendship.
I am sure some could do it, but I think it is risky.Comment
