Maybe Illinois has different laws. Or maybe it's just more friendly. :)<br><br>Anyway, this story is ridiculous. I think it's safe to say that the complainer is not one of the parents who benefited from the mother's neighborliness. Maybe the complainer was a jealous neighbor who DOES have to pay for daycare.
