I have been in business since 1997.

What has changed since then in the business part-What is required of us, having to prove ourselves, having to have lengthy contracts, handbooks, degrees, needing to do things I have not been trained in and try to show the state/government that in home childcares are important.

What has changed since then in parenting-technology, parents working way longer hours, parents not keeping children home if they are off, parents not picking up early if they are off early, being overwhelmed more, needing more "me" time, more "behaverial issues, children that won't eat unless fast food, the break down of family time, no respect for rules, children being raised in child care, children with no respect for adults, the almighty dollar is very important, the overall breakdown of family.

I could go on and on but that is what I'm seeing as what has changed in the childcare would since 1997.
