Her son was a pill today too, so not too sad I cant keep them.
I still feel terrible. It was an honest mistake though, and I was honest with them as soon as they showed up this morning.
In hindsight, I should have called to see if they were still interested. But when they never called back, I assumed they werent.
Like Zoe said, they were out of sight out of mind a month later when they called I assumed it was the other family.
I personally called around this morning and found the names and numbers of 5 other providers that can take her immediately. So I didnt leave her with no one. Still feel bad, but thanks for the support. You ladies rock.
Securing daycare services for your child is a PARENT responsibilty. I can't imagine why she would be upset for not communicating her needs more clearly?
You went above and beyond what I would have done so don't feel bad. This will be an excellent lesson in communication for this mom.
