Occasionally.
I have termed two
kids for behavioral issues in 24 years.
Neither had to do with long hours.
The rest of my terminations have been due to adult issues.
IME, not all children are planned, some are not wanted (religious pressure, etc) and some parents simply are not capable of spending large amounts of time with young children (anxiety disorders, Bipolar Depression, addiction, etc). Some live in fear of the damage they may cause others are just happy to have made it through the night to get them back to daycare. I provide care for them as well.
It is simply a broad grey issue with many different individual situations. Right now I am blessed to have all great families, but that has not often been the case.
