Quick daycare question...
Would you put your kiddo ran by family? She does a good job...just not sure I want to mix daycare and family together. My DH says he doesn't want to mix the two...thoughts? Not even sure she would have an opening when needed but thought I"d ask others opinions before I asked.

Married the love of my life 6/3/06
Became a family of three 8/25/09
Never. And not just because I have crazy family, but because I don't really believe in mixing business & family. It's way more difficult to express any concerns or whatnot you might have just because they're family - feelings and all that
. I also would never want anything brought up regarding daycare (business) at a family function or DCP/family member calling another family member and discussing my kid at daycare, potential problems, etc. Ick. Just could get hairy, I think.
The only exception would be my mom watching them.
Thanks! You reaffirmed me and my DH's thinking. It wasnt even a thought until my cousin posted on my FB post. I was just making sure I wasnt crazy!
Thanks again
Depends on the family member.
My SIL runs an in-home daycare and has watched both E and I since they were 9w old. She is pretty awesome and we don't have issues mixing family and business.
I would love my SIL to care for Sawyer. She doesn't do daycare but in the Fall she is too busy but in the Spring she may watch him every now and then.
I think it depends on your relationship with the family member.
I wouldn't, but I don't trust any of my family to watch B for more than a couple hours (and even that is pushing it!).
But, it really depends on the relationship - I would have a hard time expressing concerns if it was a family member because I don't want to hurt their feelings. But, if you can stay neutral and treat it as business and make sure it's business and not family... then it'd be okay.
