I assume a close family member will give a good reference so I don't really think there's any useful info to be gained there since it's also different working for a stranger with kids you're not related to. I didn't specifically say it was contingent on the references but I did say we were going to check them and asked her to send me some after the offer.
I'm really sorry but after my husband and I talked it over we've decided to rescind your offer. We're just REALLY not comfortable with the lack of work reference coupled with it not being a great personality fit. One or the other we might be able to overlook, but not both. I'm sorry again and good luck.
