What Would You Charge?

I kinda agree I always tell the lids families atc. Lots of kids have moms and dads but only the kids who come here have a miss j.

The line in the poem that says "my role is just as strong" would not settle well with my Mom's. My role isn't anywhere near as strong as theirs so I think they would be put off with that.

I don't like to do any references to Motherhood in my role with the kids. I know my place and it's not a Mama place. You can give "mama love" but I never consider myself in comparison to their Moms. It's bad for public relations when you have a business full of "Mama Bears". ::

I think that would bother some of my Mom's too...A few of the kids call me Mama-Jen, one of the parents calls me bonus-mom and another refers to me as Daycare Mom... but personally, I wouldn't dream of refering to myself that way or to compare my role to theirs.

Obviously it's working for you, but I think it could turn a few people off as well.

I know that if someone suggested that their role in my child's life was as important as mine, I'd be miffed about it...then I'd hand them a bill for college :-)
