I feel so burnt out lately, and in my heart of hearts I just cant do this anymore.

I have applied for a job that pays $21 an hour to start and paid training. Yes I will have to drive to the city, and my kids will become latch key kids, but I am just done. Fingers crossed!

All 3 of my FT kids just left for good and do you think these parents were even greatfull for the things I have done for them and the kids the last 3 years???

Nope, not even a thanks. Just see you later.

I have lost my income and we cant go on holidays anymore.

My husband is tired of the unpredictable income and so am I.

The only call I have had this month was from someone who was looking for daycare and when I told her my rate for part time care she said oh that's too much. That's how much I charge for fulltime care. Im like why are you calling me then??

Im fed up and annoyed.

I understand completely! How long have you been doing home daycare? I am already sick of the inconsistent income and I've only been open for 6 months....

Congrats on the new job! I was SO done last year, and got rid of 2 full timers, and then, life was good! I didn't mind the other kids, and I had no issues and was happy!

I just started a new kid this week though, and she make me want to jump out of a window! Hopefully she will get better!

Good luck to you

Good luck! I've been feeling completely drained lately (have been doing this 27 years) but just took my week vacation so hopefully can re start with a better attitude . I always wonder how much longer I can do this
