How to Deal With a Difficult Mother?

[daycare]

Is your husband a co-owner of your business? If not, it's not his place to be against it, quite frankly. Every marriage is different, but I wouldn't consult with him at all regarding the daycare unless it's something that effects him directly... and since taking on his friend's child could effect their friendship I wouldn't have taken them in at all. Since you already have taken them, though, I would just do what you need to do in order for things to work for you and your business.

:hug:

ditto this.... I don't ask his advise for my work stuff and he does not ask for mine on his.

It's no different. The only thing that I can see it being different, is if it will really hurt you financially. I was in that position for a long time where I had to make the choice to keep people on so that I could continue to provide for my family financially. If that is not the case, then tell your husband that unless he wants to deal with the issue first hand that he needs to respect you and your decisions with your business...

Doing this business alone is hard. Don't ever let anyone put you out.
