I need help before I hate my job!

I logged out for privacy reasons.

I have been feeling so unappreciated, lately. It is teacher appreciation week, and while I don't expect anything, it hurts to have a dcm tell me about all the gifts she got for dcg preschool teachers (where dcg goes for a couple hours in the afternoon), when I do more than they do and have cared for dck since she was an infant.

We are spending a lot of money on some new things and I was so excited to tell dcp, most were thankful, but a couple didn't even acknowledge it.

I'm closing for a bit in the summer, and it's comments and looks from a few dcf, like I don't deserve time off.

I was about in tears last night wondering why I go above and put so much into my job for people who couldn't care less. It makes me just want to do the bare minimum and not worry about it anymore.

Is this just the way it is? Any advice on how to change my outlook?
