*Update* on if you in-home daycare

So I've told the girl I can't do it. We did a trial run for the past 2 weeks, on week 3 today. 

Problem #1 - always late dropping off baby.. wouldn't be so much of a problem if I weren't trying to get the babies on the same schedule. So when one was up the other was down and vise versa. Not fun!

Problem #2 - always late picking up baby.. she said she pick her up at 5:30 pm Doesn't show up till 6:30ish. BIG problem being that my baby goes to bed around 6 which gives me no time to do bedtime routine and my son would never get a bath ever again lol

Problem #3 - She didn't bring baby food today.. she brought formula but no baby food. Which I will share my LO's but this girl eats ALOT lol

So all in all. Good baby but unreliable parent = no good for me!!! Not gonna have it. Oh well.. I tried!!

Already told her I will finish out the week but not a fit for me and sorry!

    I'm sure the extra money would have been nice, but sounds like more of a headache than it is worth!

    Wow, that does sound like a headache. Maybe there will be another child you can watch instead of this one? I would probably of made the same decision as you by the sounds of the mom.

    Good for you for trying but I can not imagine taking care of two babies and not getting any breaks if on different schedules. My daycare makes us pick our son up like most places by 6 the lastest or your charges extra. Two you need your time with your baby if yours goes to bed at 6. That's tough

    Married: 5/09 ~ TTC Since: 10/10 ~ PCOS ~ Progesterone from 10/10 - 2/11 ~ HSG on 3/18 - Clear ~ Started Metformin 1000mg & Clomid 50mg 2/11 ~ Metformin upped to 1500mg 4/6 ~ 6/7 Now going to SG and put on Clomid, Ovidrel, Gonal F, Prometrium, Estrace ~ IUI #1 7/2 = BFP!!!!!! March 6th our little man was born. 

    6/17/13 - Ovidrel, Follistim, Prometrium ~ IUI #1 7/2 = BFP! March 17th our St. Pattys day baby arrived

    10/29/17 - Started process for IVF, got pregnant & miscarried a 2nd time since summer. 2/22 started stims - Menopur, Gonal F, Cetrotide - retrieval 3/6 - , PIO, estrace 3xday - FET 4/18 = Beta 1: 616; Beta 2: 1342 = BFP

    How are people that irresponsible with their kids? That's insane to me. Aside from being completely disrespectful to you, it's just crappy parenting. I can understand if once in a great while you're running late (and you call!) or you have a particularly rushed morning and forget something but to be that terrible during a probationary period is pretty inexcusable. From my son's first day of day care on, I've always brought enough food to always keep him one day ahead. I was late one time and I called the second I knew I'd be late. Even if he can't tell time, he's waiting for me!

    This. Sometimes the money just isn't worth it.
