          She was Korean, but she spoke perfectly good English. I think she was just a HUGE nut case! haha. She had the biggest teeth I'd ever seen by the way... I know that has nothing to do with it, but it was creepy! ::

          I normally only give my address to people when they are coming for a tour - and like I said, she was scheduled to come last week so thats why I gave it to her... BUT then all this ca-ca happened. I think for now on, I'll tell the parent that they need to call me right before they come to the tour and THEN I'll give them the address. I guess thats better cause I'll know ahead of time if they will no-show .

          She was a total weirdoh fer sure!

            Long story short, I agreed to reschedule, and did end up taking her kids. Worst mistake ever. She was notorious for being flaky in various ways (showing up early, not showing up on time for pickup after her kids had been here since 7 am, dropping off a sick kid and doping her with fever reducer, etc, and "texting" me mysterious texts that I never got). I finally had to tell her that unless she gets a response, do NOT go ahead and change plans without permission. As in if you do not get an "Okay, that's fine" then it's not okay to leave your kid here til after 8 pm. It's not okay to show up early. It's not okay to bring your puking kiddo.

            I really wish I had just taken the initial no call no show as a red flag and dropped her like the crazy potato she is, but instead I took the kids because I knew them from school and liked them. Big mistake.

            Im actually taking the summer off after terming these people because dealing with their family was so stressful I just need a break.
            I did this too. After my 1st daycare year. I don't even count that year. I think of my 1st day as a provider as after that that time off.

              MamaBear, I think I have the crazy lady's sister stalking me because just last week I had a woman call and inquire about services for her 7 month old. I told her no, about 2 minutes into the conversation but she kept talking....I should have taken that as a warning. She was a BF'ing mom and wanted to come over and feed every 2 hours. She also worked as a massage therapist so she often had "free" hours during the day where she wanted to come and spend as much quality time with her son as possible WHILE at the daycare and she wanted to only pay for the hours he was here (without her of course...LOL!! I only do daily and weekly rates. She had other specific requests too such as no packaged foods, no microwave use, no processed food, no foods with yellow and red dye #'s ???, no white foods, no cartoon characters or themes, no gender specific toys, books or play activity etc etc....

              Anyways I didn't have room or patience for her whole song and dance so I said no and didn't give it a thought. But oddly enough over the last month I have been visited by her mother, 2 of her 7 sisters, her grandmother, the babydaddy (and his other children), the grandfather, the boyfriend and a close personal friend. Seriously!!!!! They have randomly been stopping by and although I have an entryway that does not allow anyone ot actually enter my daycare, I have had to stop what I'm doing and explain to each person that I am not, was not and will not be taking this child!!! Besides, he has enough family members that they can watch him!

              What is with some people? Maybe they were raised in one of those environments where their parent never used the word "'NO!" ::

              Just wanted to let you know, you weren't alone...apparently it happens everywhere!

                          I'm in a pretty small community so finding my daycare isn't difficult but yes, that is exactly what they wanted, a tour and to see how I do things during the day!

                          I'm guessing she (the mom) is either dense or she isn't communicating very well with her family so they are obviously not in the know about her being told "NO!!" or maybe the mom is too busy "touring" other care places to tell everyone in her family that I am NOT in the running for a possible child care choice!

                          I just shake my head because every year people seem to get stranger and stranger......:confused:
