Subject: A debate my life scenario (m)

Names have been changed to protect the innocent....lol!

Ok, I am a in-home daycare provider. For the time being I chose to non-certified, however I was followed by the state. They are aware of me, I follow the rules, and they can come into my home at anytime.

Recently, I was asked by a very good relative to watch her child once my older dd starts school full time next year. I told her I would get back to her and that I had to discuss it with the other parents first because it would technically put me one child over my limit.

The first mother thought I was nuts (lol), but had no problems with it considering that it would give her child a playmate and mine would be in school w/ a 30 minute crossover. The second mother (who I have been having problems with already wrt things she approved of when we interviewed and is giving me a slight headache now that her child is actually here) is very hesitent and said she would get back to me.

Ok, now for the debate..granted...I shouldn't have asked as it is *my* business, but I figured heads up now and feel it out because if anyone complained, I would have to remove a child from my home last minute and w/out notice. But after speaking with my mentor, looking up state requirements so I can accept up to 6 kids if I wished too...I found out that everything I planned on improving this summer was going to make me elegible for state approval...I would just have to actually pay for the licensing.

I have already decided to license myself, but now I have to inform hesitant mother of this situation. I know I should have looked into all this first before I opened my big fat mouth (one bad habit of mine that I am trying to kick)...but unfortunatly for me, I didn't.

I am basically just going to inform both mothers this morning that I am licensing myself and let her decide if she wants to continue with me. I have a feeling she is looking more for a nanny type deal then an actual provider who cares for more then just her child anyway.

So the debate might be along the lines of what would you do if a dcp asks your "permission" or "thoughts" on accepting another child that would put them over their limit. And then turned around and decided she was going to get state approved and your "thoughts/permission" doesn't really matter anymore?

I'll let you know how it goes later. And where is that blushing icon when you need it. I know I screwed up and I am embarassed for myself.
