I remember a couple of years back I started having a really hard time every day. I was still patient and loving with the children, but felt myself stressed every day and hating my job. I was stressed mainly with the passive parents that create demanding, out of control children.

One of my mom's gave notice as we were clashing on everything. Once that mom and her son were gone, the difference in my day home was night and day. I didn't have a demanding, controlling mother and out of control child throwing tantrums all day around.

My stress was instantly gone and my day home became the way it used to be. The mom and son were with me for three years. In that time, her parenting skills did not grow with her child and it showed in his behavior. It was so gradual that I didn't even notice. I was desensitized to what was happening over time.

It has been a good lesson to me and was very helpful in my case.
