I agree with the others. Many of us use this forum as a place to get advice from others about situations we are having. Therefore, you will hear a lot of negative because we are asking for help here. There are positive posts, and I think all of us as providers love and care for the children in our care. That is part of the reason you see so many posts asking for help to avoid terminating families. And we are human, there are going to be kids from time to time we don't connect well with. It happens to everyone, even teachers. You will find providers venting about that. Then there are some kids and parents who are just a pain in the backside. Usually when it is the child, the behavior can be linked right back to the parent.

At the end of the day, the venting you see has very little to do with if we like (even love in many cases) the children, and more to do with the day to day stresses of the job, those come with any job no matter how much you like it.
