Or used to. Now, if I am not working and I am around other kids, I keep my distance. I don't swoon over babies any more, I don't flock towards little kids any more. Sad. Is that normal when this becomes your job? Or does this mean I am done???
DITTO all of this except the "my littlest" part....I don't have any kids, but I do have a partner this is refusing to sell so that I can move on.....so i am stuck too.
We have talked about cutting back hours and each working part time ( I currently work 50+) to see if it will help with my burn out. I hope it works bc if not I am about to lose it.
