In this story, a woman who worked as a home daycare provider had recently taken on her infant niece at the request of her sister-in-law. She enjoyed having her there, but she faced an issue with her diaper supply. She advised all her clients to restock when their kids were running low on diapers at daycare, and she refused to take them if they didn't have any.
Her sister-in-law had been given multiple warnings about her daughter not having enough diapers, and eventually, they ran out at the daycare. As a result, the woman informed her that she wouldn't be able to take the baby that day. The mom was insulted and felt she should make an exception for family. She wondered if she had been too harsh in enforcing her rule.

Mom refuses to top up diapers for home daycare provider sister-in-law, gets offended when her daughter is rejected from daycare: 'Moms forget things sometimes'
Good babysitters are hard to find, so parents don't want to get on their bad side.
Childcare is a necessity for any family with working parents, or even just those who need some time away from the kids once in a while. Not everybody gets the luxury of making sure their kids have the best treatment possible. Much of the time, they have no choice but to leave them with strangers and hope that the standard of care is good enough for them and their children.
Those who have family members willing and able to look after kids are among the luckiest moms and dads out there, but they can have a tendency to take this privilege for granted. This generosity is only going to extend so far if they start acting entitled and go against the terms and conditions of having access to this childcare.
It is a predictable pattern that many babysitting relatives find themselves stuck in, where the parent they are helping out oversteps their boundaries, then gets upset when they reinstate them. Things can get even dicier if money is involved, as they want to feel as if their expense is working for them, and not against them. Holding onto those principles is crucial.
