I feel like you go into this business with the mindset that people appreciate you, think of how their choices affect you and want what's best for their kids. (

I definitely would've developed a backbone earlier on and had stricter policies to begin with and make sure to follow through on them 100% of the time.
But being home with my kids and still making money has been the best thing for our family, despite all the negatives about running a daycare 
Agree with all of this! If I'd started out viewing it as a business (What would KinderCare do?) I would've saved myself a lot of stress & heartache.
