Back in the days I was on the food program, as a provider I had to keep the numbers right or I would be over which meant that my own children rarely could have friends over while I was on the clock with daycare...that would have put me over and heaven forbid the food lady comes when there are more kids than allowed or that some nosy neighbor would call and alert whoever monitors such things. It was good in that some of the daycare kids were my kids ages and they would be friends.Now I know my own kids resented not being able to be in their own room if it was being used for nap by a paying child.I did attempt to keep some toys jsut for daycare and my kids had their own toys.My kids now are much older and not in any hurry to procreate because they were around littles all their lives while still at home.
