    I'm so grossed out. I only have 3dck, so I shouldn't complain. They all have colds and I'm so over dealing with wiping their boogers everywhere, drooling, putting their hands in their mouths. This is my home, and im so tired of feeling like its like a scene from Outbreak. One of the kids had a double barrelled runny nose for SIX MONTHS last winter. 100% I can't do that again.

    I'm just done done done with daycare. I want out. I want grown ups. I want a desk and a computer. I want to be responsible for only my own bodily fluids. I'm so tired of little two yr olds fighting and screaming and being rotten to each other, even if it is age appropriate. I want to be around people that are considerate of other's feelings, that have a sense of personal space, that won't purposely steal someone else's stuff just because they are using it and then scream bloody murder when they don't get their way.

    I've put resume after resume out and I've heard nothing. I'm feeling defeated, frustrated, bored and trapped.

      Hang in there! I feel the same only I'm sick of poop! Sick of the smell, the explosions, using a hundred wipes to clean that nasty mess and the whole process! Something exciting will come along, I can feel it!

        I will not open the door for you any earlier than 7:00. Yes, I was pissed this morning when you showed up before 7:00. You don't like to be left hanging with your classroom kids after school just like I don't like opening early!

            Friends asking you to watch their kids on a daycare day until 9:00 at night... No! I've been up chasing kids since 6am, what makes you think I want to spend my free time doing it until late at night???? I just do not understand how people see me sometimes. I had another friend ask me, "So do you think you'll be doing this babysitting thing for a while, then?" *sigh* I am not a "babysitter", I am a Self-Employed Family Child Care Provider. How to make people see there is a difference?!

              Oh man I know what you mean. It would be so much easier to deal with if we at least got a *little* appreciation from the parents or the general public for everything we do. People just don't see it, we are the ones working behind the scenes.

                AMEN! I was thinking the other day about whether I could find someone to cater daycare meals (LAAAAAZY!). It's the worst part of my day.

                  If you guys take care of my grouchy snotty DCKs, I'll plan, prep AND clean up your meals.

                    Not a vent, but when I went to the gyn last week, the ladies actually thanked me for being a family daycare provider, which I thought was funny, but nice.

                      Wiping snot doesn't bother me, but I want to vomit if I find it on my wall or furniture. Once it leaves the child's face, I can no longer stomach it!

                          Oh I'm laying in bed feeling like my throat is about to close shut! My throat hurts so bad I've been super vigilant about hand washing after wiping noses all week! I may need to be seen tomorrow if this continues. Ugh!!!

                            Hmm, I think if I didn't have to bother with meals planning, prepping and cleaning, I could probably do the lockdown on your grouchy snotty kids and turn that around.

                            It's a deal!::::::

                              The final straw that led to my initial vent was when I sat down at nap time on my couch, my arm touched something wet and then I saw it was a snot trail down the side of the arm. I've decided that my DCKs aren't allowed on my couch anymore.
