Is This Concern Valid And Should I Move Forward?

Yup. I would say "I bet dcb enjoys getting spoiled by Grandma! I will move on to the next interested family then. Thanks for your interest."

Exactly. Having a daily drop off whiner is not fun...I would pass!

This. I would let them know that's fine, DCB will stay 2 days/wk then, because I am looking for only a long-term FT commitment (this is a business after all).

Exactly!!

For the record, THIS is what has me feeling stressed this week. Leave quickly so your kid can be happy and not manipulate you. Ill send a pic. You're welcome.

If you have others that are interested, I would just move along to the next one. Parents create such unnecessary drama, and I would want someone that definitely wants the spot!

I would tell her she was given this opportunity based on seniority but you have other families interested without a doubt. Tell her you need to fill this FT spot, take it or leave it!

I voiced my concerns to the mom about this and told DCM that I would be willing to move forward and will evaluate in 30 days to see if I would continue the contract with them. DCM did not really say much but this is what I am going to do anyways. I will make sure that the contract is open ended for the first 30 days allowing either one of us to pull it if not happy.

I just can't help but feel that this is not going to go well. Since I already offered it to the DCM and they accepted, I am going to uphold it for at least 30 days..

I hope I didn't just shoot myself in the foot.

Well I hope she sticks with it! It would be pretty rude to back out after jumping at the offer!
