So I have 4 going into kindergarten this year. 3 of them will be leaving my daycare and 1 will be able to use the bus from my house. I’ve been interviewing to find the perfect fits to replace the 3. Well now I somehow screwed up and realized that I have filled 4 spots instead of 3. Part of the problem was a mom who just couldn’t decide what she wanted to do as far as paying me even when the 2 kids are not here. We interviewed and I was very clear about my time off and payment policies but lo n behold the very next day I get a loooooong text about how they loved me and were happy with everything and wanted to sign up but....she’s taking off 3 months later in the year and doesn’t feel like she should have to pay blah blah. I nicely informed her that my policies are non negotiable and then she said okay, she’d let me know in the next few days. This obviously rubbed me the wrong way as well as dad during the interview letting me know he feels my illness policy is too strict. So, during that time I interviewed another mom. This mom only has 1 kid. I really liked her a lot and he is adorable and seems well behaved, she immediately paid for the spot, had no problems with any of my policies and I just generally got a good vibe from her. So then first mom texts me (5days after original text asking about the time off) saying they decided they don’t have a problem with it after all and letting me know they’ll be by with a check to hold the spot. Well I completely forgot about the family I interviewed with a few months ago to take a spot I’ll have opening up in June! So now it’s 4 kids and 3 spots. 
I’m not sure who to tell no to now. The kiddo that is going to be riding the bus is $20 per week cheaper so I’m losing money keeping him and I don’t normally keep school Agee’s but I said I’d keep him through kindergarten as a favor because I like them, they’re a good family and I have his younger sibling all day. I don’t get great vibes from the family that took forever deciding but they’re young so I’ll potentially have them for several years at full price.
