Accidentally Said Yes to Too Many

[littlefriends]

She didn’t call so I emailed her after all the kids left. I’m not sure what to do now because she hasn’t replied but I just said that I had accidentally said yes to one too many and since she had taken longer to reply that I had decided to go with another family. I guess she doesn’t really need to respond. I was worried she’d call me and get really mad so at least I didn’t have that to deal with.

I hate it when people just don't respond.

Then there was that one lady a few weeks ago, who I set up an interview with, then found that I needed to reschedule. So I text the lady and tell her that I need to reschedule the interview, then she texts me back saying, "Who are you again?" ????? Does she want daycare or not?

Fortunately I decided not to fill the spot right now.

Agree!

Agree with the PP's, let that family know that while they were deciding you filled the space. First come, first served!

Since the family didn't reserve the spot, you can simply state that the spot has been filled. They signed nothing, paid nothing, you owe them nothing. Don't feel guilty!
