Make sure that when she calls in a few weeks that you don't have any availability.

I realized that all three families who I have had quit, have done so because they wanted things that I just couldn't agree to, and they had "want to call the shots" personalities.
I really try to not be in a position where I can't live without a family if needed. I guess they don't realize that to keep doing this hard, low-paying job, we do have to have some limits or it just wouldn't be bearable.Comment

after 6 days, she says said "it just wasn't working"? LolComment

Good point! It's a good thing she's giving her marriage longer than that,
.
Actually, seriously, her "work it out" communication skills are lacking. She has this bright, happy, phony face that she puts on, but can't really listen to my (or even her own children, I've observed) needs and feelings. Or she appears to listen but doesn't respond. And she can't communicate her own.
It was almost like dealing with a little kid who always asks for stuff at the store. She kept asking for stuff but didn't get how it affected anyone else.Comment

I would have been done with the questions about your husband. What is she implying or worried about?
Nothing offends me more than people who look into HOME daycare and then act like any male their child comes into contact with at said HOME daycare is automatically a danger. There is no other reason to ask such questions unless they are uneasy.
Anyone who is uneasy around my husband or son is a HUUUGE liability and I won't have them in my home. All my daycare parents know my husband and son. They often answers the door, high five and hug the kids in front of their parents etc. They all act the same around the men as around me.
I couldn't keep a family who acted any other way. I make is very clear at interview that we are a FAMILY daycare and the whole FAMILY is always around their kids. If I get even the slightest feeling they are hesitant about members of my family, I send them on their way.
One lady came for interview years ago and told me it was "creepy" that my son worked for me. I ended the interview on the spot. She then had the audacity to call back later and told me she had looked at several daycares and ours was the best and that she had called my references and everyone loved my son...and she wanted the spot. I told her where she could go.Comment
