[quote=Anonymous]MB here. I agree - just say that you're not able to make a standing commitment, and then be unavailable if/when they call again. If your regular family asks don't make a big thing of it - just say something like your schedule just didn't work with what they wanted, or even "I so appreciate the referral, and welcome others if anyone asks you, but I also like to be able to work long-term with a handful of families that feel like a good fit personally and this family wasn't that for me." That way you let your current family know you still welcome referrals, you sort of flatter them, and you also let them (appropriately) know that maybe that family wasn't too great to work for. And I agree that the mother in your nightmare was awful!![/quote]
