I have a dcf that has two boys full time in my care. (i have posted about them here before). The boys are here for 11+ hours a day and eat every meal here with me.
Over the past few weeks, I have been struggeling with the parents. I am feeling very taken advatange of, disrespected, and just horrible.
I don't really have too many issues with the kids that I can't get over, but the parents are just pushing me to my limits. I have no option to term, as todays economy has put me in this bind.
I have been doing this job for almost 10 years and have NEVER felt like this before and I feel like just giving up. Trust me, if this family was here last year, I would have dropped them. But with business being so slow, I can't.
Daycare is a hard job and parents and kids come as a package deal. can't have one without the other.
How do you make it through times like this? How do I fix this problem and how do I move on....
