    Can't Make Everyone Happy!

    I'm pretty sure we have found our house!!! We are going to make an offer tonight! I talked to my daycare families this morning, most are very excited! One parent is not happy with the location. She said they might have to find someone else. The house is .8 miles from our current location! Mom and dad live close to were we are now. :confused:

    Really don't like interviews!

      If that family can't drive .8 miles for you, then they are not worth it anyways

        Seriously?? What do they want you to do? Run ALL houses you are considering by them for approval first?

        ::

        I would just say "I'm sorry that it won't work for you. We will miss DCK".


        Congrats on "possibly" securing the perfect house!! Keep us posted! happyface

          Remember, though, that some people just plain don't like change, so that may have been just a gut reaction to "your changing something".

            Why, how dare you move and not get her approval first? How rude of you!

            Congrats on the house! Don't let one inconsiderate mom rain on your parade.

              I hope all goes well with home purchase . Those parents are nuts not wanting to drive a little further .

              When I moved it was 15 miles away . I had 2 dck's parents that stayed with me . They drove 20 minutes in the opposite driection and then back to get to work .

                Maybe I should have handed them a list of the addresses and asked them which ones they liked better! ::

                Thank you! I am really excited! Hopefully they will accept our offer!!!

                I agree! Only took a year to see their real colors!

                I know I am so rude!!! I even gave advanced notice before we put an offer in! ::

                Thank you! I won't!

                I think it's nuts too! I have a family (divorced) that drive literally all over town but still come here after almost 4 years! They have to drive in a huge square twice a day but I am worth it!!

                Another bonus, is the area we will be in has no other providers near by! So will be easy to fill the spot. happyface

                    I can't even take that family seriously. .8 miles??? That would take an additional, what, 2 minutes maybe if there was a stop sign there as well?

                        My thoughts exactly! It takes little time! Roughly 5 minutes because you have to cross a pretty big street but still. I looked it up on map quest maybe thinking it was farther away than I thought! Nope .8 miles!

                        Oh my goodness! It has been a nightmare! Don't accept cash payments 6 months before you apply, you have to verify all deposits into the down payment account, they use your net income not gross , lots and lots of paperwork and verifying. If you move more than a few miles from your current location you will need letters from all your parents stating that they will follow you, lots of hoops! I didn't do research on self employments and mortgage loans before trying, just research on everything else. My mistake!

                          The only downside is we will have to pay rent and mortgage for 2 months but still worth it!!!
